Unexpected Monday!


I am a fiend for worrying- I worry if I have done enough, worked hard enough, been kind enough- helped enough. You know it all gets quite exhausting worrying as much as I do! So today was one of those days that just make you happy, loved and accepted.

Me and the wee one had lunch with my dear friend Richard. In between the whims of a toddler we talked interiors, namely Richard's great taste and all about his wee orphan lamb they are hand rearing on their smallholding. And you remember those 'wowls', well Richard gave me a pair- I was well, stoked.

The lunch venue had a few of our fav charity shops next door and two tiny dishes and a some more table linen later we returned home.

Meanwhile the postman had delivered a squishy parcel from my lovely sister in law. It contained a beautiful scarf, well its a cowl really, knitted in the softest, cosiest merino wool. It was in a recent Molly Makes and I am quite honoured that my Sister in Law's Mum knitted it for me. A big thank you.

There was also a card for the kiddos which invites us all to my Brother and Sister in Law's new home for lunch soon- Finn was delighted and so are we.

I hope you all had as good a Monday, Jo xx

    Oh lucky you, love your owls and your dishes - you always find the best things! I am a bit of a worrier too and sometimes drive myself crazy worrying about the silliest things! x

      Thanks Col- These wee dishes were 30p each- that is a bargain for over here! I am trying to be a bit restrained as care insurance and other big expenditure this month! Jxx
