Dear Dear Lucy,
Now I finally know what I will do with all of the jam jars I have been saving! You always know how to inspire me. Have fun with your house guests. I'm sure you are the perfect Hostess!

Leah

its all lovely as always. love your tea lights. You would love paper bag tealights amongst your flowers. Paper bag, brown or white, 1/4 filled with sand, tealight candle plopped into the sand, roll the top of the bag down a little like you roll up your sleeves, light it, that's it! We put them all around the garden, they don't catch on fire, and the wax drips into the sand! Very cute.

Hello Lucy, I love your blog, and read it very regularly. Your sense of colour, and humour is fantastic. Which leads to my question, would you consider joining a quilting bee I'm thinking of setting up? Info here: http://clairesmakeanddo.blogspot.com/2009/07/quilt-front.html
I know you'd be a great member!
Thank you for your time, Claire

Your relationship with your Bossy calendar makes me giggle every month!
You're right though, it does have a point this month ...and joy of joys we finally have a table AND chairs for outside ...better get off and invite some friends round... hope you have a great time with yours too

I always read and look at those inspiring things and think 'that'd be really good'. I love that you actually DO them.

I always have plans to eat outside with a pretty table setting like yours, but with our unpredictable weather they often get scuppered!
July will whizz by with all the end of term fun.

Have been on a very busy and very hot school trip to the seaside today and it has been lovely to read your blog again (before i rush to drop off at cubs!)It has given me a lovely 5 minutes to chill and relax.

Christine

The little table candles you made are brilliant! I love that you tied the wisps of lemon-thyme with the ribbon! I will have to give this a try. Thanks so much for the inspiration :)

Deliziose le piccole lanterne, brava Lucy!
