Searching For A New Home...

Its been a confusing few weeks in our home...lots to talk about and lots to think about at the same time. We have been really limited with space in this home the last 8 years and would love a larger property so we have decided to start house hunting as well as looking for land. Not sure where, when or what yet but I'm having plenty of fun looking! Please excuse me not being around as it seems to be taking up allot of my time at the moment.

Bella Ballerinas

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week, it has been pretty busy around here with the last week of school holidays but I always love having my little man home so its been great! A little while ago I went to an Estate Sale where I found these pretty German ballerinas which are so beautiful! I was hoping to keep them but it seems I just can not find the right place in my home which is really disappointing!

Do you like my lamp? I must say I really love it! When I bought it, we were unable to get it to work so my wonderful husband Cane pulled it apart and bought it back to life...it comes in handy being married to an electrician! :)

New Arrivals To My Rose Garden

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been really quiet lately, I'm still getting over my cold...well when I thought I was getting over it I had a large box appear on my door step which ended up being my huge rose order for the year and they needed to get into their new homes asap so I had to get to work fast and in the cold!!!

This year I have gone mad on the David Austin English Rose varieties, I am sure you will agree they are simply stunning! Here are my new additions this year-

Ambridge Rose

Brother Cadfael

Heritage

William Morris

Crocus Rose

Mary Rose

Troilus

Wife Of Bath

Winchester Cathedral

And I even received 2 free hybrid tea roses

Champagner

Flamingo


They are all planted except for the Heritage bushes which will be getting planted in a few days after our soil delivery. Most are in the front yard and others in big pots in the backyard, all I know is I am going to be one impatient girl waiting for all my blooms this year lol. I can't wait to share my rose gardens with you all but until then I am keeping warm with my chicken soup.
