On cold nondescript days like this, burying my head in a shelf works a treat for lifting my mood. No money involved, no bother to anyone else, just me, a few shelves and a little bit of china ❤️

No matter how far your travels take you in 2025 ⭐️ I hope your journey is safe,full of happiness and filled with love ⭐️ ….
The pressure to “entertain” on New Year’s Eve can be heavy, so know that I am sat on the sofa, glass of pink lemonade in hand ,debating what to watch on tv with the hubby…. While keeping count of the truffles so I get the most 😆 x
Have a wonderful evening however you care to spend the last few hours of the old year ⭐️

May your star shine in 2025 ⭐️

Love, Sharon ⭐️

It’s a strange old time this “twixmas”, and I do struggle with it, not knowing what day it is or having any purpose in those days, other than eating and pottering and waiting for the new year.
I thought today wouldn’t bring anything more exciting than reduced price mince pies in Waitrose , but I was wrong!
Santa brought me a beautiful velvet bow ! …
Well maybe he didn’t ! But he did send me an amazingly talented friend , who not only makes delicious cakes, but sews, makes candles and gorgeous bath bombs too ! And today she surprised me with a Christmas gift of gorgeous goodies, including this fabulous bow ….. Thrilled is an understatement 🎄🎁🤩 x

I love this little girl 🐈‍⬛
She’s so feisty, wary and nervous of so many things. Rescued 8 years ago by a wonderful woman as a kitten, who knows what her fate would have been without her Angel !
She has lived with us since she was 6 months old and lives life on her terms ….
Having her want to spend time with us is a Christmas gift in itself ….
Her name is Spencer, she loves belly rubs ,and does not tolerate any mushy behaviour 🐈‍⬛
And she is also the reason my beautiful Duresta sofas are shredded !

I’m just not feeling very Christmassy yet ! Hopefully I will have finished my bag of humbugs before the presents are wrapped and the turkey is stuffed 🎄
The tree is up, but I can’t seem to make the effort to hunt around the attic for the rest of the decorations, thank goodness for twinkling lights is all I can say !
My sister gave me some cinnamon sticks, I’m adding some gorgeous velvet ribbon I picked up on a recent trip to ! It’s worth shopping around, and although you’re wading through a minefield of…. Well let’s not go there ! You can find the odd treasure 🎄

Sunday scones ❤️
Not mine (obvs)
Made with love by the lovely Lesley ….
What a treat ❤️

I remember a friend’s mum-in-law yonks ago, always baking on a Sunday morning, the smell around her house was delicious, and the samples were in abundance.I often wished that lovely woman was my mum-in-law, in fact I fantasised about it for years 😆
If like me you missed out on the “MIL”, find yourself a Lesley Berry ❤️

Finding so many treasures I’ve kept safe that have no connection to me,or anyone I know.
Time to let someone else have the pleasure of reading cards and letters from a bygone age…
I do hope that the simple things are treasured and kept and passed down through the years ✉️.
And I do hope Joan had a happy marriage and enjoyed the coffee spoons ❤️

Today is the start of “10 for 10” for me !
What’s that ?
I thought if it last night ( although it might already be a thing)
I have so much clutter since closing the shop, so now we’re at the point of moving things from one place to another, then to another, only to repeat again and again with no end in sight,and just clutter everywhere 🙄
As much as I love my stuff, I feel it’s time to do a little in-house cleaning….
So for 10 days I will remove 10 items a day !
It won’t be easy for someone like me, but here goes, let’s see how I get on.
Again, any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated ( but no holding things to feel connected, I’m connected to everything 😆)

Following on from yesterday’s thoughts, I’m rummaging through my old sewing projects and finding all sorts of unfinished pieces that will now become Christmas gifts 🎁
This is all thanks to Julie for reminding me of past little makes 🎁

So in between making soup ( get me 😆) and popping along to Lanercost to see candles , I will be dusting off my sewing machine.

Have a great day x
