We have received several emails asking for a bit more time to send in photos to have a chance of winning our competition, so we are happily obliging for one more week. The deadline is SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH. Please send them in as soon as you can so we can pick a winner!
To those of you who have already sent your pics, we thank you so much. It's been so enjoyable looking at them and seeing your pretty displays!
Today we have had some sunshine! It was perfect timing as I needed to take some photos in the garden of our new little covered seating area that Paul built.
As most of you probably know, England is not my original home and one of things I miss terriby about home (The good ole' USA)is a porch.
There are so many reasons why porches are a wonderful "invention" and one of them is that no matter what the weather,you can sit outside, preferably with a drink or book or just simply to watch nature evolve.
Knowing how much I miss a porch, Paul set to work building this lovely little seating area. He is a good man, isn't he!
I took some pretty photos of it today, adding in some of our handmade bunting (this one is an extra large size, big enough for marquee!), hand made cushions which are now on the website,
and some of our jar lanterns (attached to the trellis at the side; great for soft evening light and they keep the bugs way with citronella candles!)
Porches are attached to the house, so you can walk straight from the house onto it, like an open aired extension of the home. Of course, we can't really do that to our home ( not yet anyway!) so he built it directly behind our small "wildflower" section of the garden so that we could look out over the flowers and watch the bees buzzing and the butterflies fluttering!
I hope you have enjoyed these photos. I look forward to receiving yours!
Bye for now,
