Small pleasures


Some things made me grin from ear to ear the last couple of days! Thought I would share a few of them with you.
My neighbour's husband gave her the most magnificent bouquet of flowers for their anniversary - they went on holiday shortly after and I was the neighbour she thought it suitable to so kindly give it to!
Then I found a beautiful new silk scarf with roses on it for next to nothing at Oasis Recycling's little shop.
The Pomegranate tree which my husband planted a few years ago is finally showing some signs of small fruit just as I was beginning to lose all hope!







I promised my daughter that I would create a few items for her to sell at her stall for a market day and so I created some greeting cards. I was inspired by another blogger who makes felt birds and am pleased to say everyone seems to find mine quite delightful as well.

  3. what a lovely pink post!
    I have one wonderful memory of pomegranates, someone in Las Vegas when I loved there as a kid had them in their backyard. And we picked them straight from the tree and ate them with salt. Yummy. And I sprayed my dress with the juices and my mother was so upset!!! Your lilies are lovely. Aren't you a lucky neighbor?
    Happy Pink Saturday- a bit late-

  5. Oh those cards are so beautiful! I just love them and now I'm inspired! Maybe I'll try and make something like that too...maybe owls to match my blog! Thank you for sending me this link...I'm sorry I didn't check it out sooner but the email drowned in my inbox and I just now fished it out! By the way, are you participating in Pink Saturday at Beverly's blog? You've got some great pinks here and then someone commented with a "Happy Pink Saturday" so I wondered if you were doing it too!

    Have a great weekend! (Is it still the weekend where you are?? :)
