Tulips



One of my favourite flowers are tulips and I love this time of year as you can start to buy them again.  They do a wonderful job of freshening up your house after all the fuss and clutter of Christmas.

I found this gorgeous Greengate range from Winter 2010 online today and I'm not usually one to go for purpley interior things but I love it!  I am sensing a new look for our new kitchen! A great excuse to treat myself to some lovely new tea towels, apron etc etc!  Plus, it goes so well with the sagey green colour I already want.

I am a huge fan of Greengate and when their new catalogue used to arrive at work we would all just gasp and sigh over it and wish we lived in Greengate world!  Oh well, we can dream!

Lovely new chalkboard

This morning my little boy and I set off down to the village to go to the post office and chemist.  However, it appears to be a local holiday so they were both closed for the day!  I decided that because they were closed we would go to the park instead as it was a lovely sunny morning. 

On the way we pass a little shop called Coastal Reflections which opened on the day we moved here.  Perfect timing as it is all things beachy and coastal!  I treated myself to a new chalkboard for our kitchen.  I am imagining it will be just right for the style we have in mind.  We started to look at kitchen units at the weekend, very exciting!

The fabric behind it is a gorgeous Greengate one that I bought a fat quarter of from Jonathan Avery a few months back.  I think I will make one of those fabric covered noticeboards with it for my new office/study.

I hope the sun is shining where you are!
