♥ Three Things ♥

Three things that are making me heart-skippy happy today.........

Thing #1 :: on my table ::

:: A bunch of cheap 99p daffodils have now opened to reveal amazingly beautiful twisty-turny fiddly-twiddly bits in the centres. And they smell divine too ::

:: Thing #2 :: on my way to school ::

:: Walking to school this morning with sunshine and blue-blue skies overhead, and realising with a skip and a smile that Spring has properly arrived in my patch ::

 

:: Thing #3 :: on my sofa ::

 
:: Sarah Raven's summer catalogue plopped through the door this morning, and OH MY GOODNESS, after arriving on page 27 I'm having the most serious, heart-skippy attack of the Wanties. Just look at that jug!!! Have you ever seen anything quite so desirable for holding flowers? I want-want-want!

♥ hope you find some things to make you heart-skippy happy today ♥

ps Hello!!!!! Just wanted to say that I'm finding it extremely hard (frustratingly so) to find time to write blog posts at the moment. I have sooooo much I'd dearly love to share with you :: it's piling up inside my mind in a messy, teetering mental pile. Crochet goings-on (lots of that of course, including 2 patterns and a couple of WiP's), patchwork beginnings, more Japanese book love, some recent purchases, holiday memories, daytrips out, a recipe, my April calendar post etc etc etc.....ah well, I'll try try try my best to get it all out of the Attic window to you very soon ! Lots of love to you my friends, see you soon I hope

pps I like making these relatively unwordy "Three Things" kind of posts cos I write them very spontaneously and they are therefore very much about the Present Moment. Little snap-shots of my life's Up Moments. I made a category especially for these posts called "3Things" (obvious really) as I like to read back through them from time to time. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do x

The tree made me feel the essence of happiness. I missed that beautiful tree badly!

[lynne]

Oh, I love that jug! Are those real buttons glued on? I wonder if you could make one by decoupaging the buttons on?

[Women fragrances]

It's beautiful.
I love it.
Have a pleasant day!

Wow - it's great to see that as I check in here to deal with my Lucy-withdrawal, so many others are suffering, too! Obviously, many folks are really missing you, Lucy. (No pressure - just hoping all is well with you and yours). Blessings to you!

[Teresa Kasner]

Dear Lucy, I am worried about you. You did not tell us you were leaving like you did when you went to the coast for 2 weeks. You're now missing without telling us what's up for 2 weeks. Are you all ok? If so, please just put a 1 sentence post up. You're friend in Oregon. Teresa

[emma]

yes to Carolyn ... I was wondering if Lucy was OK. Kept thinking my pc wasn't updating her blog so checked to see if anyone else was 'missing Attic updates'

Hoping all is OK with you Lucy? I guess little B is being a little B!

Hi Lucy, your blog makes me really happy, all the nice colours and flowers!
That's why I've nominated you for the Sunshine-award!
More info's are on my blog.

[Carolyn Kaplan]

Anyone else wondering where Lucy is? I have come out of 2 years of lurkdom to search for her. She's never been this long without a post. My life isn't the same!
Miss you Lucy, hope all is well with you and your family, Carolyn

[Jayne Walton]

Hope you're having a nice bank holiday weekend with your family, I love your pictures! xx

[Joana]

Hi Lucy!
If you have time check this out! It started with me reading your blog!
Thanks!

[Sue]

I've just been reading your caravan comments over at Curlew Country Lucy. What wonderful crochet possibilites that holds!

[Christine]

I have awarded you a Beautiful Blogger Award. You are supposed to pass it on by saying 10 things about yourself and then naming 10 more blogs. You are also supposed to let the blog owners know they have been awarded. Because I have had another one of these recently I have only nominated 5 blogs this time.
Best wishes,
Christine

Morning Lucy!

I'm sooooo thrilled you've got a caravan - we have one too that we bought on whim as well, last year. We're busy doing it up and just like you absolutely cannot wait to begin roaming about in it, (first trips include the Lakes, the Dales and Dorset). How exciting, I could squeal!

Did you notice that there's a Cool Caravans book; the one that the pics in the Coast article are taken from? I got in on Amazon for about £8 and its completely fabulous. I can't put it down! Credit goes to Sairer at Vintage, Pretty & Shabby who first put me on to it). I've been buying up vintage crochet blankets and tablecloths to decorate our bav (as caravans are known in this house!)just don't tell Woody!

Hope you get a furry soon, our house feels like a proper home again. Have a lovely weekend.

just popping in for some cheerfullness after a difficult couple of days (mum in hospital...and all that goes with it...but on the mend). A special heartfelt thank you for brightening my day! Vicarious enjoyment of the flowers and little peoples antics even if it ended predictably it was fun while it lasted!! While blogging great, time with family precious and epecially at this stage, time to be enjoyed. Well still be here!

[Carole]

Hi Lucy,
Haven`t heard from you for a few days. Hope you are all ok. Just a bit worried.

Hi, Lucy! Hoping all is well with you and your lovely family. Looking forward to all the colorful, creative things that have been whirring around your head! love and hugs to you!

[Diana]

Love your blog, especially the button jug, you have given me ideas. You are lucky to have daffodils so freely in England, downunder we have them but only from the shops where I live. I have visited England a few times when the daffodils are out I love them.

[Zaina Anwar]

You are a wonderwoman!
