Counting the Blessings


Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas...
Creating new memories of moments shared with loved-ones...

Good food and laughter and perhaps a tipple or two?!

And maybe a few special pressies were opened and savoured?


We blew the cobwebs away with a bracing walk around the village on Boxing Day...
with another roast dinner in the evening.
Then Sunday it was back to work and on with the painting once again...with a little help from my eldest daughter.
The painting is almost complete now. There will be fittings to install and general bits and bobs to finish and then I shall have the huge task of moving all my stock in. I have booked some exterior painters to renovate the outside of the shop for me, as from the 4th January, but that will be weather permitting...Brrr...
If I have time I shall return to my blog for a look back over 2009, like I did last year and to wish you all every happiness for 2010,

  2. I just adore your kitchen! Is that pink mixed in with red? If it is, I didn't realize that I love it together!

  10. Niki, your home looked magical for the holidays. Something right out of a story book. SO pretty and festive. I wish you well in your new shop. It sounds amazing! I love the colors you have chosen and the catalog pages for the fitting room. How perfect.
