Mothering Sunday

It was Mothering Sunday here in the UK yesterday, such a wonderful day of love for me.  Thank goodness for modern day technology enabling me to keep in touch with my three daughters and their little families.  In truth little surprises arrived in the front porch on Saturday.  A beautiful planter, a pot of tete a tete, a bouquet of tulips and hyacinth and a bunch of daffodils.  Along with cards and more gifts.  I was certainly a very spoilt Mama.

The beautiful spring flowers finally prompted me to get my act together and arrange the Spring/Easter decor.  It didn't take long but was worth the effort as it made both Gerard and I smile.  We always have a Easter tree and this year was no exception.

I am also a great fan of a wreath.  This one as made a few years ago but is still good enough to come out and hang of a small cupboard door.

The tea trolley service station is the perfect place for a Easter display.

Shame about the shadows but I am thankful for them it means that we have some sun.  It seems to have been a very long Winter this year and I feel in dire need of some sunlight.  We did actually have a drive out and sat in the sunshine for a while, taking in the beautiful views, but I will share that in another post.

Do you change your decor around for the Seasons?

A warm welcome to new followers, I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.  I am looking out of the window and would you believe it, more RAIN!  Not conducive to the plans of getting my washing out to dry, but that is life here on the Outer Hebrides all the seasons in one day...lol!  Thank you for your visit and I hope the sun is shining down on you, wherever you are.

See you soon.

Mothering Sunday Weekend

What a wonderful weekend I have had.  Saturday saw me spending quality with my dear Mum.  We actually went to a combined rummage sale and craft fair organised in the local town.  An unusual combination I must admit but it was certainly worth going to.  There was a stall selling lucky bags of craft items, £1.50 per bag or 3 bags for £3.  I picked up 3 bags and were delighted with the results.

 

There was a collection of Spring/Easter stamps which will certainly come in useful.

 

 

Ribbons and lace.

 

 

A wide selection of card stock in some very enticing colours.

 

 

 

 

Embellishments.

 

 

Chipboard tags/ribbon/foam shapes and gift tags.

 

 

A wonderful haul for very little money and a great outing as well.

 

Sunday was Mothering Sunday here in the UK and so I went down to my daughter Amie's home.  I was spoilt with some wonderful gifts and a delicious afternoon tea.  She certainly put on a wonderful spread.

 

 

 

This photo is not showing it all, there were also sausage rolls, mini quiche and of course copious amounts of tea.  A feast for the eyes and the stomach, it really did taste as good as it looks.  Unfortunately not long after our visit Amie was once again taken into hospital.   We are awaiting more news.  She certainly has not had a good pregnancy.

 

Bertie was thrilled with the blackboard that we made him for his shed/outside play house.

 

 

We added a hook at the bottom so that a cleaning cloth could be hung and also his name, which he loved.  He is getting really good at recognising letters and writing his name.

 

 

We bought him a new jigsaw, which he loved and was very quick to show how clever he was at doing jigsaws.

 

 

 

I am blessed with 3 wonderful daughters who all rang me, e-mailed me with photographs and were very generous with gifts and cards.  But what is much more appreciated is the acts of love, phone calls, emails and such all year round they never miss a day without some contact  I truly am blessed.

 

See you soon.
