To Paint or Not to Paint

A little while ago the Daily Mail Weekend magazine contacted me to ask if I would send them one of my eiderdowns from my website for a photo shoot. This morning I was very excited as I walked to the paper shop as it was going to be featured today and here it is. Mine is the pink paisley one more or less in the centre of the picture.


The weather forecast promised this to be another warm and sunny day so the dilemma for me on a day I had entirely to myself was whether to paint this old sun lounger I had bought


or whether to have a really lazy day and sit in it reading the paper, magazines and my current book...... I chose the latter!

There's always tomorrow!

  1. Saw it first thing this morning - at least hubby showed me the page as it's "my sort of stuff" (well done, him!), and I noticed your name there. Well done! Here's to many more opportunities!

  9. How exciting to have your lovely eiderdown featured! I so badly want one of those for my own bed, and I want to purchase a nice vintage one from England... shipping is astronimical though. I suppose I need to make a personal trip! =)

  13. I have posted a photo of the missing UK girl Madeleine in the hope that the more people see her, the more chance she may be found. Please take a sec to pop over to Cheltenham, to put her face in your head. Thanks to you and your readers.

  14. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Yes you are right, St Agnes Last Stand is about the nun and the cowboy and a bit gruesome! Margaret Lawrence trilogy is fantastic with a bit of everything in it - love, murder, craft, history etc etc. Come and check out my current post about Mary Webb and Shropshire.
