52 Weeks of Happy (1/52)

I have discovered a few new blogs recently which I shall add to my side bar sooooooon!

One in particular, Jen at Little Birdie started this blog hop a year ago....

always late to the party - that's me haha! 

She has just posted her 52/52 'Weeks of Happy'.

I so wish I had seen this, I think it is such a marvellous idea. 

Looking back on your week, being in the moment (albeit with a camera!) 

and capturing the little moments that make you happy or smile.

So I am going to curate my four happy moments and simple pleasures 

to share here each week.

• Reading 'In Style' for £2.00 with the gorgeous Drew Barrymore on the cover, whilst enjoying my favourite drink :-) 
• Putting my sumptuously warm velvet throw on the bed ready for colder nights.
• My Daughter leaping off the couch announcing she felt like baking and producing this lovely moist marble cake - YUM!
• Rob Ryan tape for brightening up plain wrapping paper

What simple pleasures have made you smile this week?

Good For The Soul

That's what is said about having a good clear out!

Just look at these photo's of our study.....
minging! A disgrace!

Unloved, unused and in danger of becoming a dumping ground.

Our home is for sale as now with our Son at Uni and our Daughter rarely here there is so much of our home underused.

So for now I have decided to give it a good clean and try to use it more and 

make it my own space :-)

It's a beautiful room with a stone wall, beams and a big old oak desk complete with inkwell. The piano is in here and I am proud to say it is played regularly although you 

would never think so looking at these pictures!!

You would think it is never played - it is!! Almost daily! :-0

Filthy - wouldn't invite Kim & Aggy here - field day!

Much loved but very LUMPY chair...

Forgotten about books rediscovered...

& music too :-)

Freshly hoovered wall - YES hoovered! Homes for spiders gone...

Looking cleaner

Old radio - going into daily use :-)
The bookcase is very old and was given to me by a Doctor I worked with

Comfier with a cushion...

How majestic are stags? Just so, so beautiful!

The little things that make the difference

Really love this bottle, the shape & colour - 

& how vivid do these flowers look against the red?

New light fitting - £2.50 Asda lol!

Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci curtain - old - Ikea 

Print available here

So now you'll find me in here :-)

Love feeling like I've achieved something at weekend - 

It is good for the soul!

What are you up to this weekend?
