Just a Minute ..... in July

Running.......home from school, all set for the summer holidays. My favourite day.

Discovering......this amazing book, The Art of Embroidery by Francoise Tellier-Loumagne.

Surprising...... myself, to see that I'm in another Treasury. Thank you, Liane (enhabiten: http://www.enhabiten.etsy.com/)

Speculating.....on the whereabouts of the crock of gold: surely it's just there - at the end of our garden??!

Bringing....the glorious outdoor sunshine inside.

Learning.... to become a very modern girl (unlike her mum! Don't grow up afraid of a computer!)

Thank you to August Street Blog(http://www.august-street.blogspot.com/) for this inspiring meme. Do you want to join in with 'Just a Minute...', once a month? Pop over to her blog and let her know.

Things of Beauty...

I am in love! I was having a little shufty through flickr (so many gorgeous photos), and I came across these simply wonderful items of jewellery. Aren't they divine? I absolutely crave the blue and tan choker. Well, not the choker...no, all of them! These creations are all available for sale from enhabiten (http://www.enhabiten.etsy.com/). Based in New Hampshire, her background is in fine art and painting, and she lists her inspirations and favourite things as 'little hand stitches, beautiful sentences, soulful rooms, long, long walks and art.'

I think that sums it up in a nutshell. Go and take a look - she makes very desirable pillows, bags and artworks, too! I am so glad I found her...
