Around the house

 My little vignette next to the computer

(need a few more white shells)

This morning I looked in the garden for any trace of gardenias or roses 

that this summer heat hasnt sizzled up

The last remaining few

not as glorious as last week , but the scent is amazing.

We went for a walk early

and picked these pretties hanging over a fence.

I noticed in the background another vignette 

Lets take a closer look shall we ?

Maybe its a bit of a mix mash but its homely to us

Note the figurines , not usually my style

but my  8 year old daughter & I were

taking a walk one day

& saw this charming couple at a garage sale

she adored them. At first I cringed a little ,

 turned them over & they are 'Made in Japan'.

They came home with a little reluctance from me.

There is something sweet & elegant about them

of a time gone by.

Ive grown to love them & they fit in with my Vicki Archer Books.

And I will have memories of the time a little girl 

 saw something special in them.

Have a wonderful Sunday
