The Renovation Game

Interesting! I’ve never made anything like this but may try it!

Healing herbs and wild medicines are all around us. They are to be found in meadows, forests, even our own backyards! And we should never underestimate their potential. Some of our favorites that we eat

2023 has been a difficult one. The loss of Mam back in January has been tough. But we have had blessings too. Our beautiful Rory arrived in March and then the Twins came along in September, little Miller and Maddison. So it is with mixed emotions I say farewell to the old year. Thank you for your teachings and blessings. Goodbye to the year we lost our precious Mam.
Looking forward with positivity to 2024. Time to invite some sunshine ☀️ back in. Time to make some plans. Time for some special birthday celebrations, some nice holidays and precious moments…..
Wishing you, my friends, the best of years ahead xx

Thank you so much my Insta friend for this beautiful, stunning door wreath. It did arrive on Saturday but I have been a bit poorly - so today I did the big reveal. You exactly hit my brief and it is just spot on. Autumn meets winter. Classy and colourful but not blingy or bad taste 💕💕💕
I’m sure Cheryl won’t mind me sharing this stunner! But get in quick because she is going to be one VERY BUSY lady! Xx

Another item no longer needed. This was a special order and I went waaaay over ‘just incase’ 😂
So I have 3 full unopened rolls of Romo ‘Inari’ wallpaper plus 2 long strips
£50 the lot!!
Beautiful statement design
Pale gold/bronze on black background
Cost of delivery will depend upon where it’s going!
DM if you would like this little bargain 😀

Time to make some decisions re. Things to keep/ things to let go…… after 9 years of renovation in this old house, our loft space is fit to break through the ceiling!! I hate to let things go ‘incase we need it’ 😂
So I thought perhaps this space may be a good one to begin with advertising some bargains and beautiful things….. I have a timer for decided I now don’t need and can’t use.
First up is 6 metres of Schumacher, table printed ‘Chang Mai Dragon’ linen fabric in duck egg blue.
Stunning design. Retails in excess of £100 metre.
This little lot was grabbed from the factory as it is very slightly imperfect. It is so much so that I could hardly find the ‘fault’ which consists of a few tiny droplets of dye around a flower….
£220 is all I ask plus postage.
No scammers or time wasters, no offers of vans to pay cash on collection. I am fully aware of your tricks!! If you are interested I would require bank transfer and will post to you. Many thanks
