Good Times

Hello dear readers....hope you are enjoying july and hope all my american readers had a happy 4th july....

.....this is my red white and blue project for summer.......a vintage tote bag with a vintage seaside feel.....i had the idea for making this while walking by the sea in suffolk.......

.....as you can see i added a little fish charm to this.......patterns for the bag and the little fish are in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......

......we have been celebrating my july 4 birthday this week.......my two sweet daughters had a lovely family party for me at the weekend and hubby took me to this beautiful garden at wollerton old hall in shropshire yesterday....

.........it was so delightful......absolutely beautiful planting and everywhere something wonderful to see....

........just a few pictures today but i will include more another time.....it was very inspiring....

..........glorious borders....look at those delphiniums......we spent ages wandering round and also sitting and just looking (and listening to the birds).........the most beautiful garden and well worth a visit if you can get there.......

............below is a bit of my elder daughter's kitchen and her good times party sign.......

..........and my delicious birthday cake........we had such a fun time and lots of laughter........

............birthday flowers.......pretty pinks and creams, lilies, rose, peonies scenting the air in my kitchen......

.........and in between some simple walks by the sea........always enjoy the fresh air and sea breezes......

 ........thank you for popping in to see me here dear readers and for your kind comments and messages......wishing you all a happy july filled with good times..............take care lovelies..................peace and love..................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
