My husband likes the Victorian look still - I have grown out of it! - and I was quite surprised when he chose these in the shop. We have some similar (smaller) ones in what is called an antique brass finish - sort of slightly yellowy pewter colour) to go down in the kitchen of what was my mum's flat. <br /><br />Glad I have another fan of the wallpaper. Had a quiet snigger at your final remark about your husband's taste! I think that also applies to my husband!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11618607015406487422017-08-09T13:28:13.267-07:002017-08-09T13:28:13.267-07:00I really like your new spotlights.

I know I "should" sell it, but then think, once we have moved I can do what I like and would love to have my entire haul of it on display - probably in the kitchen - so will just wash and wrap it and put it away for now. I am trying to modernize here without losing the farmhouse look which attracts folk and which this house has in bucketloads.<br /><br />Less housework is ALWAYS good and I should be pleased to have a few less dust-collectors around!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-66605326456783063772017-08-09T05:21:04.873-07:002017-08-09T05:21:04.873-07:00Just a tad Pat!

I love your blue and white china It reminds me of "Old Chelsea" which you always find in Landmark Trust holiday cottages and looks just right in old scrubbed farmhouse kitchens. I have a lidless tureen in this pattern which holds all my husband's gubbins on the Victorian pine chest of drawers. Fashion in interiors change so rapidly I just stick to what I like. I like your taste in furniture very much but I can see that less is more and certainly means less housework!

I want to be better, and it's scary when your body gets knocked sideways by things like this. Each morning I seem to have a dizzy spell when I first get up, which is Not Nice, but hopefully will pass.<br /><br />Lovely to have your sewing group, and all ladies you have worked with. Dawn has kindly included me in her little group which meets up once a month to chat and craft. I forgot to write about my recent meet up at Dawn's, but a lot of chatting was done, and some good crafting ideas. We are all off to a Quilt Exhibition in Bristol on 1st September and I can't wait.<br /><br />Don't worry, I shall make sure to mark my freezer container with Dyestuff - inedible!!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-20045464211544753732017-08-08T22:13:20.252-07:002017-08-08T22:13:20.252-07:00I daren't be the least bit energetic at the mo...I daren't be the least bit energetic at the moment Sue. I am trying to keep the steps down, but it's difficult when we live in such a big house - it's a hundred steps just coming up to the office and going back down! I know when I've done too much as I feel like I've been hit with a barge pole. My painting arm is itching to get going though, and I have a LOT of jobs on my to do list now, so I think I am in for a very busy autumn. <br /><br />I am glad the wallpaper is meeting with approval (I love it).

It's tucked away on a small trading estate the far side of a busy roundabout and we don't often go over that way any more now. However, I like the stuff they sell and they have a really good selection of bedding, towels, curtains etc, and I have my eye on a few more improvements in the curtain department . . . I've always made my own in the past, to save money, but tbh, I can buy some ready-made ones cheaper than I can make them up.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-48349783339938183242017-08-08T22:08:51.819-07:002017-08-08T22:08:51.819-07:00P.S.

Keith has NO IDEA about interior design but I buy magazines (the occasional Country Living, Homes & Antiques etc) and must have viewed (on line) 15,000 houses in the last 10 or a dozen years, so I know what looks right and what I LIKE. I think the current Laura Ashley styles are fairly me. Oh, and I do love William Morris fabrics and wallpapers, and Sanderson. Keith hates ALL wallpaper. I think he thinks he will get lumbered with putting it up, but I am quite good at it - though I've not done much in all the time we've been here, needless to say! Just a lumpy ceiling going up the stairs.<br /><br />I have always loathed the kitchen cupboard doors too (bought for about £3 each from a car boot sale on the way back from seeing his mum when she was still in Manchester.) They have the ogee top on them and were dated when he bought them!<br /><br />Oh yes, the worm has turned now. Next job is to break the news to him that the blue room needs to be . . . unblued.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-37780185048097751012017-08-08T17:55:00.438-07:002017-08-08T17:55:00.438-07:00I think the wallpaper is rather elegant--in a myst...I think the wallpaper is rather elegant--in a mystical woodland sort of way!

My friend has started needlefelting has been on a couple of courses and is managing to produce some lovely bits and bobs. There is a group of us who all used to work together in a solicitors office and we have all kept firm friends and kept in touch despite two of them being retired one through ill health the other because she is the eldest but she does not act it. And then the younger one. We all have needlework and crafting in common. These days I only get to see them once a month. I look forward with interest to see what you come up with the on the dyeing front. Just be careful to make sure that the pot is securely marked up for the freezer.
