new additions

i have been very lucky in the last few weeks to be on the receiving end of 'just because' parcels and Pay It Forward sets and since starting this blog i have won 2 give aways and taken part in a swap. our study is slowly becoming a space for all of my blog treasures. i finally put up some post cards i won from vanessa at a fanciful twist and i added some lovely photographic art from maria-therese at afiori. the wall is really coming along, i have plans to make a second inspiration board out of fabric and ribbon so that i dont have to put pins in my photos. i still have some wonderful stained glass hearts to hang which i received from kimberly at seashells and silver during our valentines day swap. and when i finish my flutterby stitchery from clare at clare's craftroom it will be a special feature on the wall. i love this space now as i spend at least an hour each day here in the study. it is nice to be surrounded by so much creativity and generosity!

here it is with the new additions.

the larger post cards are from vanessa and the tiny exquisite photo is from maria-therese.

click on it to make it larger.

the lovely Polaroid from maria-therese.

head over to my other blog to read all about the PIF parcel i received from afiori. if you don't, at least visit those girls i have linked to here in this blog, you wont be disappointed.

have a great weekend!

a place to call home....

do you remember this???

i started painting this little shadow box such a long time ago and finally found the time to finish it off. all of our miniatures have found a spot to live and i can see it every time i sit here in front of the computer.

i know that these miniatures have no real value, but they have been a fun thing for us girls to find whenever we are out and about.

it is up nice and high for the time being as old 'fingers magee' aka Claudia would cause havoc if it was any lower.

i have more to add to this wall, namely the postcards i received from a fanciful twist during a giveaway and i do believe that it is slowly becoming my inspiration wall. actually the whole study is slowly morphing into MY space and when mister moo finishes converting the garage into a rumpus (he has only started converting it in his mind) then it will be mine all mine!! (cue sinister laugh)

have a great weekend, two more sleeps for me and my holiday is over :(
