Cake on the deck in the sunshine

It was perfect weather today for enjoying lemon cake and strawberries on the deck with my good friend whilst the children were paddling in the pool. I've taken to using melamine plates which I bought last year as I love the colours.

Vintage Fabric Cats and my new Atelier Stella ceramics - Jane Foster

Have been making some more vintage fabric cats - these are in very limited supply as I've only a few pieces of this fabric. I've also recently discovered the wonderful ceramics of Atelier Stella which are shown below. I'm going to start collecting them. They can be seen here.

Vintage dominoes and old wine boxes - retro storage with Jane Foster

I came across these old narrow wine boxes in Totnes a few weeks ago and bought them despite not knowing what I was going to do with them. I've now turned a few of them into storage boxes decorated with some of many vintage picture domino cards from my ever growing vast collection. Polly has already chosen the ones she wants so I think I'm left with one to store some CD's in.
They were so easy to do - I used PVA glue to stick the cards on and the ones that didn't quite line up were trimmed with a craft knife. I've also done a few with vintage wallpaper that I'll show another time.

My love for children's art - Jane Foster

I adore looking at the art on the walls in my daughter's school and love how bold and brave some of the art seems. I could fill a whole wall in my study with children's artwork and never get tired from looking at it. This is my daughter's self portrait displayed in my study. (She's in reception)

70s Patchwork Cushions by Jane Foster

Am adding more patchwork 70s fabric cushions to my site. We've been gradually removing all our bedroom carpets and painting the floors white - the house is so much sunnier and brighter now and our daughter loves it as her lego structures no longer fall down!
