Cauliflowers and Roses

We have been having lots of sunshine and showers here over the past couple of weeks, and so I thought I'd share a few photographs of our garden, which is looking particularly lush and lovely at the moment.

One of the most fantastic things about my summer has to be...........

lunch picked fresh from the garden

chard leaves, rocket, broad beans, radish, chives
with some sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil leaves and drizzled with olive oil-mmm!

Everything seems to be ripe and ready for picking this week- but with umpteen freshly picked cauli, broccoli, blackcurrants and raspberries, out came the cookery books..........
and a little later-a yummy cauliflower curry, and homemade jam...

............followed by a glass of rose and a book under the pear tree!

Rosie's Armoire 'GIVEAWAY'- your favourite place

Following on from my previous post, I have been thinking about creating a new range of map purses, from my collection of vintage maps and postcards- I just love the pastel shades of these old maps, printed onto glazed linen.

I would love to hear your suggestions for the new range- a favourite holiday destination, a place you'd love to visit some day. Just pop your comments at the end of this post and one lucky reader will receive a GIVEAWAY purse of your choice from my website.

Summer holidays

Just been adding a couple of new products to the website..........

...........and dreaming about heading off to one of my favourite places- Antibes, in the South of France.

Have been reading a book called 'La vie en Rose', about a couple who give up their London life and head off to France with dreams of running their own Rose wine bar............and its inspired me to produce a new purse design 'Wish I was there'

.......will have to get back there before too long!

New products added to the website

Thankyou to everyone who has visited the new website and for all your lovely emails and comments.

 I've been busy uploading a few new items today.....

 These bags create a unique feature in the kitchen. You can find them in the decorative home section of the site.

Also shown here these distressed metal clips  which are a great way to show off treasured photographs and keepsakes.

   

A peek at the website

A picture of the homepage for my website. I'm really pleased with how it's looking.

It has been designed by carys-ink and kinetic pulse.

The website's nearly there- am getting excited as we're going to be up and running very soon.
