Hello dear readers from a beautiful warm and sunny bit of the uk..........it's been a lovely week with plenty of sunshine and a lot of outdoor time for us......
..........this flowery little pincushion was made with some leftover scraps of lovely liberty fabric (betsy, my favourite)........the pattern is my red and white postage stamp pincushion in my etsy shop link in sidebar......
...........below is an old bookcase which i painted recently in farrow and ball cooking apple green.....
.......then i started stacking quilts on it......
...........love all my old flowery quilts, especially at this time of year.........and the seed packets are being made as little cards to hang as a garland.....will photograph them soon......when i find where i put all the little pegs ;)
........all the seedlings from the greenhouse have either been pricked out or planted now so the wooden seed trays are ready to be stored away again.......
.........below is a vintage watering can from a brocante fair, and a vintage bucket left here by the house's previous owners over 25 years ago and still being planted up each year by me with different things....this time it has love in a mist seeds sprinkled in it......
..........we had an afternoon at peckforton castle in the cheshire countryside for a friend's birthday afternoon tea......it was a lovely time and such perfect weather........
........may time is so beautiful in the countryside........cow parsley and leafy trees, roses and blossom....
............below is a view of our garden with the wisteria and rose intertwining on the patio trellis, and beyond the white picket fence of the cottage garden........
..........just outside my sewing room window are the roses and wisteria....such delicious scents.....
.....thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for your sweet comments and messages.........it's always lovely to hear from you.......hope you're having a happy may time and enjoying sunny days and flowers too..........take care lovelies......................peace and love....................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The seed packet is perfect for gifts. Lovely fabrics and flowers. Happy Spring!
Delightful, Helen, as always! Your garden is gorgeous and so evocative of tea under the lilacs or some other lush spot! Very inspiring! I want the newly painted shelf, the quilts, the pinnie, the picket fence, and ..... Happy Day to You!
May time is the best time!!
Love all your beautiful images Helen ...your little pincushion is so sweet and I adore the colour of your bookcase.
Your garden is looking amazing and it wonderful that the old bucket is still being used. :)
