HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Hi ladies guess where I went for my birthday treat today?THE BUTTON TIN in Rotherham!!!Two of my daughters took me and the lovely Gemma helped us to each make a sampler using vintage fabic and a doiley.It was the BEST time and we had tea and cake using vintage china and a live pianist,I wish I could do it all again tomorrow!!This evening hubby treated us all to dinner at a local restaurant then we came back home for tea and lovely birthday cake (From M+S)Here are some photo's of the day and my gifts...........I cannot get the photo's that I took with my camera!Only the ones I took using my web cam!I will have to try again later.

LOVELY BEING A MUM!

Good evening,have all you mums out there had a good day?My 3 daughters bought me the things that you can see in the picture,my middle daughter Alice made the little bird house,she got the oil cloth off ebay it has Humming birds on it!and is painted my favourite shade of blue.Youngest daughter Holly got me bulbs and sun flower seeds and Cath Kidston flasks and chocolate pretzels!Eldest daughter Laura Jo got me a GORGEOUS rainbow pendant from her shop ADORN.My cards were lovely too.We drove down to Derby to see my mum,I made her a sponge cake and bought her a trough of primroses and some money in her card.We had tea at mums and two of my sisters and my brother were there,we laugh easily when we are together so we all had a lovely afternoon.We saw some sunshine and now we have a light dusting of snow,hope it goes during the night,I hate the stuff!!Hope you all have had a good day too.'bye for now.

A BIT UNDER THE WEATHER!

Good evening,I wonder what the phrase means a bit under the weather?Well I came home from work early as I was feeling thus and after a few hours sleep I feel slightly better.So I've been reading lots of lovely blogs to cheer me up.The only thing I find is that reality comes creeping into blogs and I know we're all friends and should chat about everyday things that get us down but am I really mean in just wanting to hear about the frippery to escape from reality?? What do you all think? Here's a picture of the GORGEOUS Narcissi next to my front door.Hope all you mums out there have a lovely day tomorrow.'by for now Pam.

A MADE BY ME

Good Morning,I think I'm addicted to blogging even though I don't get many comments!I made this bunting for my daughters birthday last week.And I got a lovely comment on my birthday cake,one of my daughters friends thought it had been made by a shop!!What a warm glow I got from that!Busy antiquing at The Roundhouse in Derby yesterday,then called at Ripley and Bolsover antique shops on the way home!Hubby bought me a Crown Derby teaset for my birthday.I'll post photos later I want to put a new heading picture on my blog but not sure how so will have to ask holly for help!!
