Fragrant white lilac and apple blossom from the front garden
new spring/summer curtains in duck egg .........it is so nice to take down the long, plain coffee coloured curtains of autumn/winter and hang in their place some shorter, light floral ones in my all time favourite duck egg blue.
and it's refreshing to replace the cream sofa covers with the old shabby white jacquard ones - now 17 years old but still washing up beautifully!
some comfy thick padded cushions for the kitchen chairs in a pretty taupe floral
everything is very floral here today.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Thanks for all your comments on my last couple of posts. I am still trying to catch up with you all as well as catching up with the housework, which got a bit neglected these last few weeks whilst Bella was home for Easter, and also continuing with the Spring cleaning and garden when time and weather permits.
Have a great week everyone!
It all looks beautifully fresh and pretty. I'm sure the scent of the Lilac is wonderful. M x

ReplyDeleteHi Gill, such a feminine post! I absolutely love white lilacs, I've been trying to grow one in my yard for quite some time, I think this is the year. When I planted it, it was a tiny little baby, so keep your fingers crossed for me! I love the shade of you curtains, just beautiful.
