3 of 52 weeks of happy

Good morning

Whilst life here in the VV household isn't to great at the moment, I am determined to be British and keep calm and carry on - I will tell you eventually but its just too tricky at the moment to write it all down.

However I am determined even with all the less nice stuff to find happy things in my world and take pictures and share them - trying the glass half full approach ;)

Here's what has caught my eye this week;

1 - Gorgeous new fabric which I will turn into a dress for me - red is also a cheerful colour and if you add roses what is there not to love :)

2 - A charity shop find - a not-vintage-but-still-lovely printers tray - just needs a few coats of paint then attaching to the wall and filling with little pretty things.

3 - A sunny day and the first washing on the line for 2013 - here's hoping it won't be too long till I can do this again.

4 - Online scrabble - playing Little Son and various friends - I'm not particularly good at it but its great fun.

I have something else lovely to show you but that deserves a post of its own, so that will have a wait until next time.

See you soon

Sorry to hear things are a little tricky at the moment. Your pictures are lovely and there's little to beat washing line-dried, makes you feel spring's round the corner! x

I am very encouraged by your resolute positivity in the face of not-niceness. We are a bit bogged down in the latter this month, but you encourage me to embrace the former with more detemination!

I hope things get better very soon and I enjoyed your niceness x

1)I agree, beautiful fabric, everything to love about that!

2)Wow, great find, I've been on the look out for a printers tray for some time now, lucky girl.

3)Isn't it refreshing to peg out?! Can't beat the smell of line dried laundry (unless your neighbours have a bonfire, grrr!).

4)Online Scrabble hey, don't think I'll embarrass myself by attempting that one, I would be a laughing stock I'm sure.

Hoping you have a happier home very soon, your blog helps brighten my day, thank you X
