Hoping you're all enjoying a fabulous Easter weekend?
All is hunkydory here.
We are in full-on Holiday Mode and it feels wonderful.
Busy getting things together today, making preparations.....activities and treats are being gathered for the Little People, and supplies to make an Easter Egg hunt happen tomorrow....
....my own weekend essentials are also being gathered together...making a dash over to my fabulous Wool Shop later this morning to purchase yarn colours that I've run short of.
After lunch we will be packing the car up and preparing to drive the 300 miles south to the Dorset Coast. We're spending the next week with my folks in Bridport, and I am sooooooooo excited! Its been eight months since we were last there and recently I've been feeling quite homesick for the place, missing it a great deal.
I am looking forward to sea breezes, jaunty harbours, green clifftops, bustling towns, quiet lanes, picnics, pottering, browsing, meandering, lazing, chatting, hooking, reading, laughing, walking. With my family.
I shall miss my Attic while I'm away and I shall miss chatting to you too.
While I'm gone, if you'd like to re-read a little of my previous
Dorset holidays, by all means feel free to potter in the Attic24

And you can bet that whilst I'm away I'll be observing and absorbing all the delights of being on holiday by the sea, and shall come back bursting at the seams with tales to tell and things to share.
Have a fabulous week and I'll see you all when I get back

Hope you have a lovely break and lots of good weather! Happy Easter to you all.

I forgot to say that I have passed an award your way....I appreciate that you probably get quite a few, and that you're on holiday, but just know that you've been passed one anyway! Enjoy your holiday!

Have a wonderful holiday with your family. My heart was in my mouth when I read the title 'Farewell' - I thought it meant the end of Attic 24, so happy this is not the case :)

Hi Lucy - hope you have a lovely family holiday. I have been meaning to leave you a message but keep forgetting so here it is!. It's and idea for your bathroom, we went to a painting pottery place and each put our handprint on a tile (in blue paint to match the bathroom) and our name at the bottom. They were then fired and I have used them for a splash back behind the sink and it looks really lovely and everyone comments how cute they are. Best wishes Karen x
