Airplants

Airplants

I haven't posted for a few days as we have had our friends Stan & Kay come to stay with us.  We have had a lovely week of chat and laughter, food and wine and lots of sunshine (except the weekend which we will try to forget - rained a lot Saturday and all day Sunday yuk!).  Anyway we had some nice trips out to the coast, one of which was to Concarneau where I discovered a newly opened shop which sells airplants!  I really love them as they are easy to keep and they remind me of my dear mum as she had one on her kitchen windowsill for many years which I bought her for Mother's day.  I have also been hanging onto a round terranium/fish bowl (!) for many years and which has moved with us from Littleborough to Bexhill to France and which had been on borrowed time as my hubbie decided that as it hadnt even been looked at for years that it would have to go!!  So I bought the airplants with this in mind and now it has a very good use and (if I say so myself) I think it makes a lovely home for the plants!  Here it is ....

 

Knowing me, I will change things around no doubt but rather pleased with how it looks at the moment.

Have made a few cards also since last posting.  I have been using stamps as a technique and colouring with Promarkers which I like the effect of together with some adhesive stones and/or glitter glue finish off a card nicely.  

Some of the cards I have sold to my friends and so I will have to get making some more, as I have several family birthdays in June and a wedding so need to get crafty busy!!  I have been gardening all day except for the airplant arrangement and may well go and mow another lawn next as it has cooled down a little.  Then dinner outside in the evening sunshine methinks!  Hoping the sunshine is here to stay a while.

Thanks for popping by!  Until next time ....
