(Early) Rainbows are...

... a stained glass star hanging on our chimney breast...... a patchwork bag I picked up at Veti'relais... ... new purchases - four 'rainbow' baskets to hold things on shelves - watch this blog to see what happens to them!...


... a sweet Ikea lampshade...... which sits on a very pretty bottle which held Beaujolais Nouveau 2008...

... crocheted mats on my ironing board cover...

... a crazy patchwork cushion...


... and a very kitch crocheted one from Relais'frip (another Charity Shop)... how the boys love these cushions...
... plus a wonderful quilt which our friend Hazel made (she made two, actually, for each of the boys)...
... and if you look carefully, you will see all of the last three items on our rather OTT winter sofa...... 'dancing waters' at a show with the boys last summer...
... treasures from an old tin...
... an ititial...
... the prayer room at Toulouse International Church...

... rainbow chard from our garden...

... son number 2's rugby team (he's the small one crouching down with the head-protection on!)...
... a Gallileo thermometer...


... rainbow wool...
... and a plate of smarties used to make maths biscuits...

And that's the end of Colour Week! It's been such fun, and I've met so many interesting and sweet people, and seen so many varied photos. Thanks, Lynn, for the idea.
PS This is going on early, because we're off skiing for the day early tomorrow morning! Wish us luck! (skiing in Jaunary, son 2 broke his thumb - he is feeling very cautious now, fortunately).

Hi Floss!

Was just going to wander off for the evening when I spotted your lovely comment! Thanks so much for visiting me. I just did a new post while you were writing to me. I think I am going to stick with my original choice. I've done a lot of soul searching but I can't make myself like the other school I saw and I've re-read the details on what is supposed to be wrong with the original one and I think the measures being put in place should help. I suppose another positive which I've only just thought of is that if this has put other parents off the class size may be smaller?

I love all your colour pictures. The letter H made me remember with a bang a little trinket box I bought a long time ago with a bird just like that one it and I had totally forgotten about. I must trawl the loft! The treasure from the tin are fab too.

I will visit you again, take care, Mel xxx
