Spring is in the air!!

Spring is on it’s way!!! Yay!!!  I just love autumn and spring so much. The days are now getting a little longer and not quite so cold. We have received some beautiful rains so the farm is looking lovely and green and the crops are doing well. Life on the farm is easy when it rains!!!! As I was walking through the family room yesterday morning I happened to look over towards the bookshelf and saw the glorious rays of the morning sun shining through.  I just had to take some quick photos….so quick in fact that I didn’t have time to do a quick dust but really, who cares? I just wanted to catch the rays at that moment.

Today I went for a long walk. I have a new app on my phone which records my distance, number of steps etc and I am hooked on it!! Lucky something has me hooked on walking. I walked 7.5kms around some of our canola crop which is such a vibrant yellow at the moment.
More walking tomorrow after work. I just can’t imagine at the moment how I can possibly put on a bathing suit to swim with my grandies so I must do something!!
Have a lovely week,
Suzy

Pink for girls, blue for boys!!

I know Easter has been and gone but I have one last set of photos to share with you all. Last week I used blue and yellow melamine plates for my table and now I’m sharing the pink and green version. As I have two grandsons and two granddaughters I could not resist either set – both purchased after Easter last year! I simply added the pink and green plates and few extras bits and pieces to my kitchen dresser which I had decked out in lovely green and white for summer. You can see it here …… lovely and fresh for summer.

How lucky was I?? I had bought my self this bunch of liliums at a market on the way home from the beach house and when they opened they were the perfect match for my Easter dresser.  I promise this is the last of Easter decor from me for this year.

Christmas at the beach house

Over the weekend I started a little Christmas decorating at the beach house. I didn’t achieve as much as I hoped as Mr FH had an unplanned trip to the dentist, I drove 80 miles towards home and back again on Saturday for a Christmas function and we had a family dinner for our son and his new fiancé on Saturday night so things were a little hectic. I don’t have a mantel there so I used my sideboard in the dining area to make my displays on. I am very happy with the way it turned out (I took my inspiration  from ‘Dear Lillie’ – her home is to die for!!!

PS I didn’t light all the candles as some were wrapped in paper and as we were outside I was afraid they would catch fire while we weren’t there!

Summer at the farm house

Do you ever have a block and can’t think of a new table colour combination?? I was like that this week. It’s funny as soon as I start to see some of the inspiring tables around blogland I think ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ So this week’s table came about when I was outside gardening and saw this lovely creeper starting to flower. I matched it up with some ‘earthy’ colours for the table runner and plates and of course I had to add the essential white tableware.

Summer has really hit hard here at the farm house. We had a total fire ban yesterday with very dangerous conditions. And I had a 4ft snake in my chicken house!! This is why I like being at the beachhouse during the summer!!

Wet paint!

I had found a few old bottles around the farm and as much as I tried they still would not come clean. On the weekend I decided I  would paint them and distress them a little. Well, the painting got done but not the distressing! I am very impatient and as soon as I had slapped the paint on (yes, I was going for a vintage look!) I wanted to use them on a table, hence then heading ‘Wet paint’. I felt they needed a little something on them so they weren’t quite so plain so I found some of my old earrings from the 70’s and took the backs off and glued them to the bottles before I painted them. As you will see, I had to place the bottles on a white platter to stop the paint from getting on my dining table!!  Ah, the things we do!

I see in one of the photos the gremlins have been and shifted a fork a little! How come I don’t see these things until I look back at the photos?
