Garden Pretties

Hello!  I hope you had a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend (UK) - apart from the rain, obviously!

I thought I'd show you some bargains that I picked up in Morrisons yesterday on my Mother-in-Law's recommendation.

Pretty tealight holders:
 Made of glass with wire and bead handles.  Here's a couple of close-ups...
They're currently half price in our local Morrisons........50p each!!  An absolute bargain!

While I was there I also picked up a couple of handmade glass citronella candles....

.....there were loads of colours to choose from and these were only £1 each.

Now to get our garden summer-ready so we can use these lovelies!!

  1. 50p ??!! I must get down there, I was going to make some but the paint would cost more than that - you did well there

  4. Hi Doris

    Just popped by to thank you for the lovely comment you left about the mini hexagon blanket - much appreciated - I love the blanket you are making for Freya she will love to snuggle up with that. You made the right decision about the dogs - its hard when you have to rehome - I had to with my chickens - and although you miss them in your heart you know its the right thing to do - I do sympathise! Will sign up to follow you **Kim**x

  8. Thank you very much for your kind comments Doris! I really enjoy making the Blankets. But as I have said many times I wouldn't be able to do them without the help of my on line friends. You have a really pretty blog here, with beautiful photos. Carry on the good work, Love Suex

  9. Hi Doris!
    I am so glad you came by my home today!
    What a sweetie pie pumpkin little daughter you have!
    (I read the previous post about the blankie ;)
    I am fascinated by your home!
    (It's just interesting to see design and goings on in another country).
    I had to laugh at your header statement about being disorganised.
    Just to cheer you--I have been doing home making for 20 years, and just as soon as I organise one area, another gets messy.
    I think we all are doing the best we can!
    So happy to have you as a new friend--you are my new friend, now, too!
    Blessings to you and your lovely family- and you as you make your home!
