Mother’s Day

I had such a lovely Mother’s Day. I had coffee with my Mum at my sister’s coffee shop on Sunday morning. We live 80 kms away from my Mum and I hadn’t expected to see her but Mr FH had a bit of a drama on Friday night and lost the crown off his front tooth so it was a quick trip to the dentist on Sunday morning. Yes, we do know our dentist well!! LOL We then went to a local game of football where we met up with DNo2 and her cute little girls. We spent the afternoon with them and some good friends of ours. SNo 1 drove from the city and met us for dinner at our local pub and he is staying with us for a few days. I love having him home to stay!! I had stayed with DNo 1 and her husband and boys on Thursday and Friday so I’d had an early catch up with them. All around it was a lovely day. I received some lovely flowers, chocolates, hand cream and body scrub from my beautiful kids. I went to bed last night feeling happy and grateful.

Getting rid of dust bunnies!!

As our long hot summer is drawing to a close I have been busy trying to get rid of some of the dust that seems to be coating everything. In fact I’m beginning to think this whole house is joined together with one big cobweb. It just makes me feel so settled to have my beautiful china sparkling clean. Cushions and curtains have been laundered and floors and windows washed in my sunroom.  One room done and lots more to start on!!

I’m planning on starting out in the garden as soon as the weather cools a little more. We had such a busy weekend…..after 13 years we will have none of our kids living in our city unit so on Friday we travelled to the city to complete some maintenance before our tenants move in. I must admit I do feel a little sad that we won’t have that as our base. We do have two of our kids we can always stay with or our beach house is only one hour away. In fact after we had the quick cleanup we stayed with our daughter and her family for a night then we drove to the beach house. We are now home at the farmhouse so that makes it 4 different beds in 4 nights!!! Talk about crazy!
Have a lovely week!!

Tea for two!

This morning I was doing a little housework (sometimes it just has to be done!) and the sun was shining through the window into the sunroom. Such a beautiful morning, if we didn’t desperately need rain! Nothing I can do about that, I keep telling myself so back to the cleaning. I was washing this lovely tray my friend had given me for a birthday a couple of years ago and I thought it was just so pretty that it need some equally pretty cups and teapot to go with it. Instantly a tablescape was in the making!

I adore pink and green china……..not sure just what I’m going to do with all this when we retire to the beachhouse as that is just not a pink house at all. Maybe a giant garage sale! Haha

Blue Monday at the farm

I was looking through some photos I had taken in my sunroom and thought I would do a mosaic with some of the blue china. Firstly I changed them all to watercolour which I thought looked really quite nice.


I'm going to try a watercolour on a photo of my grandson - thought it would be really fun to frame and hang on the wall if it's ok.








I'm joining Mosaic Monday and also Blue Monday so please check out what's happening there - lots of fabulous posts...

Spring clean in autumn!

Today I am re-posting this post about my sunroom to show you my favourite cupboards! I'm joining MyFavouriteCupboard@NoteSong and PorchoftheMonth@GypsyBrocante. Come and have a look - they are great!!


Yesterday I finished cleaning my sunroom! I have about 20 ladies coming for lunch next Saturday for DNo 2's baby shower (how exciting!!) so I thought I must spruce this place up!
I have a lot of pretty china  in the room so I started washing all of that - what a job but it looks so beautiful after it is done I just love it all the more. This room started off as a verandah (porch to you Americans!) and was filled in with glass doors and windows. I have redecorated this room many time - in fact the sofa has had many face lifts from brown to dark green to blue and now to pretty pink and green stripe.


I have stripped all the sofas and washed all the covers along with the cushion covers so it's looking good!!
The chairs were originally natural cane colour but a few years ago I gave them a coat of Antique White - much better I think.



This is my gorgeous Robert Gordon china which I have shown you before in a tablescape - so pretty!



This is another little cupboard that I gave a quick facelift to. I have this between the door and the window - such a tiny spot but this fits there perfectly.



This old cupboard houses some of my blue and white china collection - I couldn't bear to pack it away when I changed the room colour so I just added a couple of pieces of pink to the display and it seems to work quite ok.



Cushions are a favourite of mine - the rose fabric on this one matches perfectly with the print I have on the wall which I showed you last week. Such a lucky find.



More roses!!!  I'm so lucky Mr FH really doesn't care how much I paint the house or move things around (as long as he doesn't have to do it!!) so I get a lot of enjoyment out of redecorating and changing things.


 This really is one of my favourite rooms where I spend a lot of time.

My pink and green sunroom

Is it Tuesday already??  I am totally confused with the Easter break but I see Marty's Table Top Tuesday is up and running so it must be Tuesday. I have a little sunroom at the back of the farm house which really cops the morning sun in the summer so we have timber blinds we leave down in the summer but now the sun is not so fierce I lift the blinds right up and let in the light. I have done a quick bit of dusting so I can show you a corner of the room.

I decided this room needed an update a couple of years ago so painted it this gorgeous soft green which has the lovely name of Lacey Fern.



This fabulous canvas was the start of the room coming together - I just love this jug of roses in the pinks and greens.



I already had the old cupboard which I purchased for $50 so I gave that a quick coat of paint. The potted geranium in the corner is fake and the beautiful trays at the back were a birthday gift from a friend (I think she knows me very well!!).



The hot pink candle I picked up on sale somewhere - wish I had got more in other colours and the rest of the display are either gifts or things I have purchased from time to time.



I will show you more of this room when I manage to get the rest of the cleaning done!!
Have a lovely week.

Suzy
