I've been thinking...

 

 

this is my new blog.

~ not sure where it'll take me;

I just needed a voice again!

and so it ends...

I've been thinking about it for a while now

and I guess there's no better way of saying it

other than simply say it:

this is the last post at

Shell and Bells, Flowers and Showers.

I can't be too sentimental about it,

though it feels very strange.

After three years of blogging,

I feel I have nothing more to share.

I still think from time to time ' this would make a great post'

but I don't find it in my heart to come here and write the post.

My reading list still gives me daily -almost-  pleasure

and I can't imagine life without the inspiration and pleasure I get from your blogs.

So I'll be here, reading and maybe dropping by.

Who knows, I may come back some time, sooner or later, with a fresh idea.

We'll see.

In the meantime, I'd really love to keep in touch with you. I've made some special

friends through this space.

If you don't have my home or e-mail address and you want to keep in touch,

please do say so in the comments and we can exchange info.

Take Care!!!

hello there,  lovely people!

hope you're doing great.

right now, i'm trying to wake my son up so we can leave for my village- he's sleeping right next to me.

we'll be staying for about ten days;

lots of nature, of the blue and green variety, and ...

no camera.

that's right. my son's camera has broken down.

i'll have to see if i can borrow my old one - which now belongs to hubby and he uses it at work :(

wondering what i posted last year, i landed here. thought you might want to get some

life-loving inspiration.

have fun!

new gear!

~ loving our new picnic plates, bowls and cups

(draining on the rack after little one gave them a good wash-up)

~loving this flowery cooler bag, just big enough for a few sandwiches,

some summer sweet fruit and something to drink

~~ linking with Fiona for the 3rd green day ~~

have a great weekend!

i hope ours will involve some use of the above recently bought new picnic gear

(together with our fabulous hamper, of course!)

today...

...I discovered these in The Shell Seekers

(have no idea when I put them in there)

... I noticed one of my favourite colour combinations in my pan.

It's always the little things...

fabric + flowers

~~ two of the things i love

~~ one frantic afternoon trying to finish my son's teacher's gift on time

(do you like what I made for her?)

~~ one stress-free afternoon to make the mosaics

enjoy!

~~ hope you all have a fabulous week!

green is the colour

I've been meaning to tell you and show you what I've been up to lately,

but I have been too busy - and lazy- and I also seem to have become used to

silently enjoying your posts ; it's much easier to read than write, right?

Anyway, it was Fiona from Raindrops and Daisies with her wonderful idea of 'Green Day'

that got me out of my hiding place and into the world.

So here's (part of) how I spend my days, now that schools are closed for the summer.

For more green love pop over at Fiona's.

Have a great weekend.

Back soon. I promise!
