Here's a pic of the pretty little pictures I bought in York yesterday

they remind me a little of old fashioned seed packets
I think Pear and Cherries is my favourite

the label on the back says: This 'n' that which is a bit like today's post... 

And here's a pic of my newest pillowcases

I know, I'm a machine!
my little tribute to the Beastie Boys...
these are so much fun to make
any suggestions for the next ones?
what about?

"laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone"  Anthony Burgess

I'm talking to you Anthony! My Anthony btw not Mr Burgess!

I bought myself So Frenchy So Chic on the weekend (or as my husband cheekily calls it So Frenchy So Sh_ _!)
I'm loving it all, but I keep playing one song over and over...Be My Man by Asa. Her voice is amazing. I have to share it with you...please, please, PLEASE listen and crank up the volume!


Did you love it too? I bet you couldn't help getting out of your chair and dancing, could you?

I'll end quietly with a tea towel

a favourite of mine...
how cool is the Narrows Bridge?
I'd actually never noticed what an interesting strucure it is till now... and I've driven over it all my life!

I'm off to listen to Asa A-G-A-I-N!!! x

    I love your pillow cases, being married to a snore monster totally agree with the quote!

    I remember seeing some very cheeky printed pillow cases for couples, on one side they said 'Yes please' and on the other 'Not tonight' ;o)

    Kylie, I think your monkey needs a wee.
    The pictures remind me of Greece for some reason?!?
    My pillows if embroidered would say something like "if your serious about me getting up, bring me coffee". Not very fancy but it wouldsave my breath when I'm very tired!

    I was thinking about the Charlotte Bronte quote 'A ruffle mind makes a restless pillow' and thinking it would make a lovely embroidery on a set of pillowcases :-)

    I love the new pillowcases!

    Kylie, I'm loving this song! Her voice is so beautiful. I expected the song to be something slower and romantic after that tea towel so I was super surprised when I hit play. Thanks for sharing! Also, that Beastie Boys inspired pillow case set is my absolute fave so far!
