In the garden, dreaming of George Clooney......

Been in the garden this morning - it was really frosty first thing, then we had quite a bit of sun - hurrah!!   Some bits of colour coming through -



The winter honeysuckle's just coming - smells lovely -


I noticed some crocuses (crocii?) coming through in the park on the way into town -


And I've got some gorgeous tulips to cheer up the kitchen! -




********************
Got a pretty soft blue spotty tablecloth today -



I had to try it out with all the blue / spotty things I've got! -







Got some nice cloths too -


  A tapestry glasses case -


 A wire egg basket -



And a gorgeous crochet blanket -



***********************
Off to see George Clooney tonight in 'The American' :)

    Goodness, what wonderful treasures! The flowers are lovely. When the crocus start popping up 'round here, we call it "Crocus Pocus!" because they pop up so suddenly like magic!

    I LOVE spotty things! But the granny square blanket makes my heart flutter....all the ones I find are made with flourescent acrylic - two things I cannot stand!
