Helen, your blog is always such a lovely place to visit! I love the soft colours you use. Here in Northumberland, the may blossom is just starting. I love it, and look forward to seeing it every year. Hope this great weather continues! x
Beautiful photos. I thought the hearts in the 1st photo dish was candy they are so lovely.
Beautiful Beautiful! Your scissors even match the fabrics! Love it! You are so lucky to have such an array of beautiful flowers and colors..love those purple ones in the last photo and the may blossoms. I love trees with blossoms on them! The little painted table is darling and will look wonderful with little pots of flowers. I need to repaint my white outdoor hutch again. I left it out all winter and didn't cover it, so the poor wood is in bad shape and the white paint all peeling off. It should really be inside a potting shed, which I don't have. A nice crisp coat of white paint will help immensely.. and maybe some little stenciled flowers.. you gave me a good idea on that! Have a wonderful week. Love all of your sweet projects and especially the log cabin block! xoxo Marilyn
Your French lavender is so pretty! Very different from what I have seen here in the States. I have a bed of daisies but I'm loving your long, blowzy stemmed blooms!
Happy almost Summer!!

I love to see and read your lovely post always so pretty .
I love pretty things so to read your blog makes me smile and a feeling of happiness, what could be better ,thankyou.
Everything in your garden looks lovely.
All the colours match.
Looks like the weather is picking up you'll be able to enjoy sitting in your garden.
Another of you lovely posts to brighten my day I have just spotted the gorgeous flower granny square throw on your side bar. It looks gorgeous
Very pretty Helen,
I hope you are having sunshine today
We had five days of rain, and it is so nice to see the sun.
I love your olden spools of thread.
A few years ago, I bought a huge bag of olden threads and spools from a friend. I paid her handsomely just to make her happy ❤️
Your flowers are so pretty. Love how you utilize many different pots for them to grow in. Lovely pics Helen!
Lovely pictures, Helen! I found some vintage threads when clearing out my dad's house....aren't they wonderful?!! My hubby couldn't believe that I wasn't throwing them out....oh the horror! They are safely in my craft room and taken out for picture props.
I made my vintage spools into a sewing wreath for my sewing room door. They were from my nans house. Great memories. Lilac is the colour of the moment for you. Jo xx
I have a few vintage cotton reels but somehow I never think to use them in my photo shoots!
Must try to remember to search them out next time I’m taking pictures!
Lovely pics Helen! Your blocks are very pretty! Love the scissors too!
Hugs,

Hello dear Helen.. I love all your pastel floral hearts.. they would look pretty strung like the birds you made on a string with bead spacers. I also adore your old wooden spools.. I have a few.. somewhere.. :-) Thank you for sharing with us.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I love all your new little projects Helen ... I particularly love your lilac block, so pretty!!
They just don't make spools like they used to, do they, the old wooden spools are so beautiful.
Your garden is looking lovely, enjoy it in the sunshine!!

Little projects are such fun and yours are so pretty. Love the wooden spools - I have a few from my husband's grandmother and I love seeing them in a bowl in my sewing room. Your wisteria inspired quilt square is lovely.
