Talohan on siis ihana, vaikka kaikki onkin pikkaisen vinksin vonksin. Vähän killillään sinne tänne, seinät vinot, lattiat kallellaan, ovet kinnaavat, mutta sehän kuuluukin vanhan talon henkeen, eikö vain? Ihanaa lokakuuta kaikille, Riikka
Fans of Wes Anderson will be delighted to learn that there are places in this world that will make you feel like you’ve stepped behind the silver screen and straight into one of his movies.
Talohan on siis ihana, vaikka kaikki onkin pikkaisen vinksin vonksin. Vähän killillään sinne tänne, seinät vinot, lattiat kallellaan, ovet kinnaavat, mutta sehän kuuluukin vanhan talon henkeen, eikö vain? Ihanaa lokakuuta kaikille, Riikka
An orchard once far afield (as any sensible grove should be) has encroached upon the back hall, dear ones... Enchanted frui...

Welcome, A couple of weeks ago on Labour Day weekend our town had it's Annual Art Show, it's held in conjunction with lots of other activities/events and it's a weekend we look forward to for ages. Each year l try and finish a couple of paintings to enter but this is sometimes a bit tricksy as it seems it's just Christmas and then the show, these are not the kind of paintings l can whip up in a couple of days. Anyway did get a couple in and was very encouraged to learn that one of them had sold. l've popped in a pic of it below. Generally l paint native flora of some kind, mainly 'cos l love it , and no-one else seems to paint it, it's great to find a bit of a niche if at all possible. Acrylic on canvas. Flowering gum. Since it's now Autumn and soon we'll be stuck inside for months, a garden room or conservatory is one way we can still enjoy the garden without having to don the gumbies. The pic above shows my Hydrangea showing off her Autumn foliage. The pic above shows the same room all spramped up for Christmas lunch. When we first built our house about 16 years ago this room didn't exist. The area was intended as a courtyard/barbecue space, but after the first Summer we knew that wasn't going to work, we almost fried ourselves out there. It took some time but we finally decided on building the entire area in. It has triangular windows each end to allow the Northern sun to enter, as well as 2 skylights. A couple of years ago we also put in a wood heater, we used to close the area off in the Winter but now it can be enjoyed year round. The English style conservatory seems to be the first thing that comes to mind when deciding on a conservatory "look" so l began my search for images there. l found these beautiful examples at valegardenhouses.com or amdega.co.uk Can you believe another week has disappeared, soon be Easter. Til next time, thanks for dropping by, Bron.
I grew up with a mother obsessed with indoor house plants and gardening in general .. our home (inside and out) was filled with lush, bohemian greenery, macramé holders, potted maidenhair ferns (remember those? They’re so pretty and frothy looking) and leafy vines dripping luxuriously down bookcases and such. Then I moved out of home and gradually over the years it[read more...]

Founded in 1987 by Naheed Mir, RugKnots has been serving the United States with high quality rugs for over 30 years. With factory direct shipping, customers pay a lower cost for higher quality. Every RugKnots rug tells a story of Pakistani heritage, and positive ethos with every knot. We use 100% cruelty-free wool, organic plant based dyes and hand knotted techniques to create each work of art.Proceeds of each purchase go towards fighting child slavery in Pakistan. Each proceed is donated to The Citizens Foundation, building schools and bringing education to those who are without. With our customers help, we've been able to build 5 schools! We even have one named The Hagerstown Campus.The traditional rug knotting jobs we support in Pakistan are all very real to me and I wanted to ensure those families would have genuine financial stability. I wanted them to send their children to school, to educate them, and try to give them the same opportunities my father worked so hard to give me. By opening another outlet in America, we could increase sales by providing the very best rugs to our valued customers- whilst also helping those traditional workers who were making our beautifully handcrafted rugs back in Pakistan.RugKnots is a family business in which I have over 30 years active experience- it has been and continues to be my lifes work. While most interior designers and business owners spend money to educate themselves about traditional Oriental rugs, I already have that knowledge at my fingertips- a free education ready to pass on to our customers.Lastly, because this is my life, I have a genuine love for our products. I firmly believe in all the rugs we sell and stand behind them 100%. I appreciate the hard work, quality, tradition and family values- my core values- that go into each and every one. So why not share that with others?

I love our house. Love it love it, lemon love it. But, if I had a magic wand, I would wave it frantically over the conservatory at the back of the house. I have never ever been a fan of conservatories, too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter and I always find they are full of strang
