In Progress ...

I'm still working on the chair painting for the guest room ... the one that was supposed to be finished about 11 months ago ... the room is almost done but it needs this painting to counter balance the pink fluffy pompoms and chartreuse green dressing table.  Maybe male guests will look a little less 'bemused' when this gets added into the mix :)

Artisans at The Village Fair

Some of the local artisans at the Peony Fair on Saturday - when I was last here a few years ago the stalls were outside and it was cold and wet so I didn't take part - kinda regret that decision now as the organisers did a great job this year! 

I should have taken more photos but I ran out of space on my camera card :(

 Des Points et des Couleurs

and our next door neighbour - beekeeper Jean-Francois Marmet

Foire à la Pivoine - St Pierre d'Allevard

Today our local village had it's annual Foire à la Pivoine (Peony Fair) and it was a perfect Spring morning (usually it rains!)

Warm sunshine, soft little lambs, the woolliest pig in the world and super artisans (I'll blog them later) - it was a proper country fair :)

Here are some pictures ...

Cherry Blossom Mirrored Garland

 

Getting set for Spring!! I've been working in the garden this week and excited to see little knobbly buds on some of the cherry trees!! If, like me, you can't wait for the real thing, I made this mirrored bunting with pale pink fluffy cherry blossom blooms :)

Poets and Writers no.3

This bottle I've kept much plainer because it has such a great look just as is - a 1900's octagonal green ink jar which I've decorated with a feather made of very fab  green antique glass.
