Lots of colour

You just can't beat bright colours to help with the winter blues. To say I love bright and zingy colours would be an understatement, but strange as it may sound I also love pastels and gentle colours too.  I have all shades of white on my walls at home, I even  call it the 'white house' jokingly because I have lost my daredevil approach to decorating that I had when I was younger. That's a shame really, as I was quite adventurous with colour in the home, but now I go for shades of white (mostly) on the walls and inject colour in other ways via personal things and touches about the home. here are a few of my favourite colours around the house. Sometimes taking photo's about the place makes one realise that  we probably take all our treasured things for granted as we see them so often, but through a camera lens they seem special again.


My Favourite Indian Hat


Bric a Brac finds on the dresser





An antique hat-stand with a heart mirror that I bought years ago


Just a little bit of Blue
Bright coloured posy from the garden




I love wearing bright coloured nail polish


Celtic stained glass cross and bric a brac


The only crocheted square I've managed to make so far in the new Rowan wool


A little bag in the making for Florence



Another view of the bag, a little quilted Angel for the front.


New Fabric and yummy threads


The lantern projects a lovely colour around the kitchen when the sun shines through it.
