The top pic is a lovely sunny pic of my mum (She is on the right, complete with flower in her mouth!) on a girls holiday abroad when she was about 17. By its tattered state you can see I love this picture and have kept it in a wee wallet with my other old pics since I left home. Its just such a happy, sunny picture and so totally the essence of my lovely Mum. To celebrate the sunshine this week it is currently residing on my favourite print from Kerry at Seventy Tree, bought for our re-decorated bedroom and so kindly customised for my colours (I have tried to photograph the whole pic but they didn't come out well- will keep trying!). So Kerry thanks again- we really love it.
The second pic is me and the kiddos fab Friday afternoon at a dear old friends house. It was a lovely catch up instigated by my bestie Richard. The kids and I had a ball in the sunny garden, great company, food and maybe a wee bit of wine for the adults!
The last pic well it wouldn't be a post from me without a weekly thrift shot! You know I saw this handsome Wade pair at the start of last week and only bought the wee bowl as my own words from previous posts echoed in my head and well, like I needed another milk Jug........But I just fell in love with the James Borsay designed Raindrops pattern and by an amazing stroke of luck the wee jug was still there this morning and the two are reunited again! The blue green glaze is unusual and beautiful.
Hope you are having a great weekend,
Jo xx
Hello lovely lady. Always love seeing who is behind the blog!
ReplyDeleteHope the sun continues x
Hi Andrea, thanks- we had a really happy afternoon on Friday. The sun is still shining today- morning coffee in the garden is always good! Enjoy Sunday, Jx
DeleteJo, you look so like you mum. I have a picture of my mum with her three very stylish best friends when she was about that age, and it is in similar shape from me carrying it around!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are both gorgeous and clearly very happy in life! I am so glad you bought the jug for yourself, I fully believe that if we truly love something, and it's not out-with our price range, then we should have it. Life is too, too short!
Thanks Lisa-Marie- I missed you! Yes we are quite alike but she has blond hair now so its not quite so obvious these days!I am a bit guilty of indulging myself with vintage things but most of it is just a few pounds. The jug and wee bowl were just a pound each!Have a great Easter break, Jo x
