Brilliant weather!

Wow - brilliant weather, hey?  Though I gather we're to have thundery rain later in the week. Garden needs rain anyway. It's so dry -






*************************
Been off collecting stuff today. Got a couple of child's chairs - 1 wood, 1 wicker -



and some pretty cloths -


Not sure about this one, but hopefully someone will like it -



And I got some more Coronation / Jubilee mugs and plates.  I've been asked to do the shop window this week, with a Royal Wedding theme (I'm quite nervous about this - hope it works out OK!!). This mug was modelled on Charles I think! -





Got 3 nice jugs too and an old cake stand -





Got some cheerful yellow tulips today -



****************************

Thanks very much for all your lovely comments re previous (wedding) post. It really was wonderful!

They're having a lovely sunny week in west Wales this week, here -

    Have you not had any time to put your feet up Abby?! What with your daughters wedding, making all the flowers (which were fabulous), buying new stock, dressing Royal Wedding theme window... Phew, I am exhausted just thinking about it!
    Hope you get to relax over Easter.

    I hope your happy couple are having a great time down in my neck of the woods. I live in west Wales and it is absolutely fabulous here at the moment and loads of holidaymakers are having a wonderful Easter. Who needs Spain anyway! Hope everyone has a great Easter break. Ann x

    Oh I am so jealous, where about in West Wales? I do miss going there! Lots of lovely things in this post, I agree though could do with some rain for the garden, maybe if it just rains at night!!!
    love
