(sorry - took that one after the G + T !!)
The space is beginning to pull together -
Thinking of using these glass tiles for a splashback? -
I was given a big wire dog last year for my birthday - he likes his new home! -
So getting there at last!
**************************
Baby Ruby continues to do well and to be a delight -
***********************
Got a lovely new book this week from Amazon - Plants and Places by Angie Lewin, who does woodcuts of wild plants -
In the book, she shows how she gets her inspiration -
***************************
The roads here are still really icy, so I had a precarious walk into town yesterday -
But it was worth going in, as I got some sweet cups for my stall -
- and a pretty bag from TK Maxx -
Well, hope you all have a good week. I guess I'd better start wrapping some presents!
Looks like a great kitchen. Just the place for a nice cup of tea and a few thoughts (but no action) about wrapping presents ...!
ReplyDeleteooer, it's getting even posher!!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is soooo lovely. Really jealous of the amount of space that you have created :0)
ReplyDeleteRuby looks like she's putting on weight nicely x
What a super space - it all looks wonderful! Love all your new purchases - especially the bag. Little Ruby will have a wonderful first Christmas:) I still have some presents to wrap! Happy Christmas to you and yours:)
ReplyDeleteAngie Lewin is a huge inspiration, love her work. Good luck with the rest of the kitchen - bet you can't wait!

Well, Ruby is gorgeous, the house looks lovely, and I bought that book about Angie Lewin (seeing as she is fairly local to me) and have kept it as a Christmas new book to read.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a very lovely Christmas, thank you for an entertaining blog, for commenting on mine sometimes too. May 2011 be all you hope for.
wow, your kitchen is really looking fabulous. we have finally decided to do our bathroom in January........so exciting. I can see many blog posts ahead.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas,

The kitchen is looking great and just think, with all that upstairs-downstairs to and from the cellar, you can eat as many mince pies (and drink as many g n t's) as you want!
ReplyDeleteYes thankyou, I'm feeling warmer- I'm hermetically sealed in cashmere. Only trouble is, I have to take it off to get in the bath :))
Have a good week filling and re-filling cupboards

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. Just popped over to look at yours. It is great having a new kitchen, we renewed ours recently too (see blog). My header is Freshwater West, where we have been today, but in much different weather. Will pop to see your blog now I have found you. Best wishes. Ann x
ReplyDeleteSuch sweetness over here today....sending you blessings of JOY and LOVE for a magical Christmas my friend. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHi - first time I have visited but I'll save your blog in my favourites - we are doing our kitchen next year so I am searching for nspiration. We were in Whitby on Monday and there are several shops with vintage stuff in - all really reduced! Didn't buy anything as I will be packing away everything soon! Snowing here agin in North Yorkshire!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking beautiful and Ruby is so gorgeous. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New year.
ReplyDeleteLove

Wow I am so jealous of your new kitchen the space is to die for can see this becoming the hub of the home.
ReplyDeleteHome you have managed to say goodbye to your workmen.
Have a good Christmas

Hello! I thought it was about time I popped over to say "hi" and a very big "thank you" for all the lovely comments you've been leaving me over on my blog! Your blog's fab! LOVE your new kitchen and am very taken with your dresser. We had a kitchen extension built earlier this year too...it's so exciting putting everything away in it's place when it's all finished, isn't it? Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Katie x
ReplyDeleteThis bit seems to be taking ages, the builders have gone and we have to clean and tidy and put back the furniture, sounds simple but it takes forever, yours looks well on the way and looking good.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
love

I love these pictures, and your kitchen is simply to die for! (The baby's not bad either. Wink.)
