Sweet Find........

Good Afternoon All,
Well no sign of any snow yet........ although they are saying we may get some Friday, how do they now it is going to be Friday I ask myself, suppose there is a hold up, and the snow may even decide to go in another direction, what amazes me is, when you are waiting to have a large item delivered, ie washing machine, furniture ect, they are never able to give you a time as to when the said item will be delivered, yet snow, well yes, that will be here on Friday...... anyhow talking about furniture, don't now about you, but I do not like modern furniture, to me it has no character, it all looks so square and bland with sharp corners, now me I love the old stuff, furniture with character and round corners, big squishy sofas with throws on them, my home is a mish mash of items, nothing matches, anyhow was at a  car boot some while ago, and I saw this lovely chair, with the winged arms, and the lions feet legs, and I just had to have it, so did a bit of haggling, and the said chair was brought home, and placed in the spare room, you see we were decorating the lounge at the time, so decided to bring chair out when finished, well you now what it's like, kept saying we must bring that chair down, anyway, today I decided to get the chair, well, what a palaver that was, hubby at work, me on my own, trying to manoeuvre the chair down the stairs, I got it stuck on the top landing, and thought bloody hell I'm going to have to stay here till hubby gets home, the rabble were at the bottom of the stairs, wondering what the hell all the shouting was about, but never one to be beaten, I managed to get the chair around the bend in the stairs, part way down I heard something roll down the stairs and come to an abrupt halt at the bottom, and my first thought was oh no one of the legs has fallen of, so continued down the stairs, and to my amazement, it wasn't a leg, but a pretty glass perfume bottle, it must have been lodged down the side of the chair, and all the pushing and shoving must of dislodged it ,what a sweet little find..........and the said chair, looks great next to my fireplace. Below are some pictures I took today along with said perfume bottle.

Snap Happy...........

Good Afternoon All.
Well what a chilly old day........... but at least the shine is shining, anyhow, did not hang about up at the yard this morning, as I want to do a few chores around the home, boring I now but it has to be done, but did manage to take a couple of lovely photo's of the sun shining through the trees before I left, popped in to my mum's for a coffee on the way home, and asked my brother Vincent for some help with my camera, and he advised me to put it on macro for close up's......... oh yes it's the flower symbol on my camera, wondered what that was for....... so I got snap happy and took some photo's of the stained glass work my mum and dad used to do, and also the hand painted glass that I used to do, which I would like to do some more of as I found it quite relaxing, my passion being fairies, so I have uploaded some pictures for you to see, anyhow must go as I need to get my chores finished, as there is a new challenge over on the Tuesday Throwdown Blog, so bye for now.

Miserable Monday...........

Morning Guys,

Well what a contrast weather wise here in Cornwall this morning, back has cometh the rain, but at least for the mo it's not snowing, well yesterday was a good day for me craft wise, I entered a couple of Card Challenges,and  fitted the new dog guard in the back of my truck, so all in all quite a productive day, well on the way to the yard this morning, I was listening to the radio, and heard, that Charlotte Rampling, has posed nude at the age of 63, she has been quoted as saying, that it should not always be the young that pose nude, well good luck to her that's what I say, but I think I will pass myself, only if I did it, there would be some seriously damaged people out there under going therapy, that would be scarred for life....... anyhow this is all I have time for this morning as I am in to work so I need my caffeine fix'......... below are a couple of pics I took of my boys last night bless, Queen Smarty Pants refused to pose,  when she heard she would have to share the  lime light......... what a diva she is.
