Catching up with old friends
Hello everyone
Had such a wonderful Christmas this year spent with family and then returned home to see my friend who was visiting from Canada. I have been excited for months about her visiting so was amazing to finally see her. She went away in the summer and is spending the year abroad so I won't see her now until this Summer. We spent a few days together and spent time drinking lots of tea, gin and tonics and cocktails, going for lunch, catching up on news and wandering around pretty locations near by on a little day trip. Was so much fun and the perfect way to end 2013.

Vintage Thursday - Alphonse Mucha - Art Nouveau
For the first Vintage Thursday of 2014 I thought I would share with you this Art Nouveau advert for French biscuits. Isn't it just beautiful? The advert is by Alfons Maria Mucha (also known as Alphonse Mucha) who was a Czech painter artist. He was born in 1860 and died in 1939. This lithograph is typical of Mucha's work as it depicts a beautiful female with long flowing hair and loosely draped Neo-Classical style robes/ dress.
Hope you enjoyed this advert as much I have.

Christmas over in a flash!
Hello everyone,
I can't believe Christmas is now over! So much build up for it and then it is over in a flash. I had a fantastic Christmas. Just had a lovely quiet one with my family but it was wonderful to spend some time with them all. Such a shame about the weather (for those of you not in the U.K the weather has been awful.... lots of rain and wind and flooding in some areas), I had hoped for a white Christmas!
Spending today catching up on things which were put on hold for Christmas and also having a bit of a post Christmas rest before all the New Year events!
Thank you to everyone who tweeted me photos of their Christmas tree, was so nice to see all the different ones people had and how they were decorated. You all had beautiful trees!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
