From the Sublime to the Riduculous - and back again!

Well, I think this is pretty sublime, anyway! I had fun this week playing around with the enamel-ware on my buffet.Our pastor's wife admired it when she came to visit - she had never seen anything like the Portmerion bowl, and really liked that, and also said that the rosy enamel bowls reminded her of her childhood in a French farmhouse.

The worldly sofa is looking pretty good too, with the ever-present jeans and doiley cushion made by Sarah, and some fun Vide Grenier and braderie textiles.

Let's face it, though, the rocking chair looks ridiculous.

But fun, again in my opinion. And the shawl on the seat of the chair belonged to a friend's elderly mum, so I like its history.

Finally, have you met this inspirational blogger? She was on the BBC website so I imagine a lot of you have, but if not I suggest you take some time to watch the BBC video and then visit Phyllis at wedeb90.

So that's a few sublimes and one ridiculous. Finally, for the good news: Raja is free of the Cone of Shame! The vet proclaimed her operation scar: 'très jolie' - I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but all is well.
