New Year ~ New decor...!!!


Whilst enjoying  a break over the Christmas holidays,  I have had  a chance to sit down and explore all the great blog's that I have been joining,  I must say I have throughly enjoyed looking at them all, not only do people post  beautiful inspiring  picture's & photo's, they also seem to be like a little on-line community, which I think is wonderful x

  I have recently put up some Laura Ashley's Summer Palace wallpaper in my bedroom, which I think looks lovely, but the rest of the room is now looking a little boring and needs some depth, so when I was in Ikea the other day I was chuffed to spot some pale blue duck egg velvet curtains, I thought fab that will help to spruce up my dull bedroom, but guess what ? none in stock!!  I came home a little disappointed.
So the next day I made it my mission to find a pair, I rang Ikea to be told there was only 1 pair of these curtains in the whole of the UK and they were to be found in Manchester, which is a six hour round trip for me. I have to laugh I told my friend Charlotte my dilemma and bless her she was prepared to come with me all that way even in this weather, Now that is a true friend !!

  1. I hope you had a lovely holiday! I totally understand what you mean about blogs being an online community...I feel the same way and am so glad to have found your blog.

    Your friend is a true friend indeed! Share photos once you complete your decorating...I would love to see the finished result.

    Joyful days and many blessings to you!
