St.Ives Dreamings....

My holiday seems so long ago and it's back to work tomorrow, so I thought I'd have a little trip down memory lane.

Taking the train from St.Erth to St.Ives is one of my favourite train journeys ever...

Oooo cup of tea anyone?

You'd only get this graffiti in Cornwall!

Beatengreen is a brilliant vintage shop and I love the furniture in there so much. Lord knows what I'd bring home if if it would all fit in the van!

Okay, okay folks, I'll hurry up!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the little shopping trip!

Thank You So Much!

When I arrived home in the early hours, from one of possibly the best holidays I had ever had, it was pretty grim.

But a little surprise was-a-waiting for me that brightened my darkest hour.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I was the very fortunate recipient of The Faerie Factory's fabulous give away!

Not only was there one of Sarah's beautiful hand made fairies waiting for me, (I did feel sorry for her as her wings needed a good stretch after all that waiting around).

But there were so many other lovely treasures I didn't know which to look at first!

Thank you so much Sarah.

Is That A Seagull On My Awning?

Piskie Ponderings:

We've had the most glorious month in our beloved Cornwall.

One evening, just as it turned dusk we headed out to Prussia and Piskie Cove.

I only ever go there in the evening, it's just that kind of place (plus piskie spotting opportunities are much more likely at that time of day).

And then it struck me, as I first warned my little lass not to jump in the cold water, and then laughed at her when she did...

that this is what my mother would have been saying to her daughter all those years ago.

So in a way the perfect summer makes time stand still.

Just to let you know there's a blogging competition over on http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/holiday-postcards/
Good luck!

Universal Balance Is Restored...

I walk into the charity shop with a bag of donations, feeling all self righteous inside.

I leave with a beautiful, but somewhat large, vintage plastic stag's head, complete with honking great cow bells.

Feelings of smugness and de-cluttered soul cleansing are replaced with joy and giddiness.
