My Week On IG....

 

 
 
 
I thought I would share my IG images with you, I will try and do this regularly, IG is great, 'quick fix', for when you need a bit of eye candy, but haven't got time to blog......I don't know about you, but it can take me an age to get onto everyone's blogs.....so e times Blogger just won't play ball!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's instant, no lengthy sign in process!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It was my Big Sisters birthday, she's a bit of a fabric addict too, and for me, it's any excuse to me to buy more fabric!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thank you for all your comments on my last post, I must say, I'm really enjoying our home revamp.....loving the colourful, vintage vibe!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We are down to the last room now, our living room, which will be completed in June....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
More colour, although I've not quite decided which shade just yet!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And this is now waiting for a revamp too, I've got the paint all ready, but was hoping for a dry warm day, not sure this is going to happen this week!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, it might be cold, damp and grey outside.....but at least it's colourful and cheery inside!
 
Have a lovely rest of the week, lets hope the sun shines soon!
 
Bye For Now,

What Ada Bea Did This Morning.......

 

 
 
 
 
 
I've been playing again......well, you know what I'm like!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've got out my rolls of Vintage Wallpaper.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A little splodge of glue.......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I've put a Vintage Sheet Addict twist on my stairs......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Think I'm a bit bonkers.....hope the family approve!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh well......bit late now!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Two posts in two days......think I must be running a fever! If I don't see you before, have a lovely weekend, we've got a long weekend here, and half term.....I'll let you know what we get up too, furniture painting is on the agenda! (Weather permitting!).....it's very dull today, hence the dark photos!
 
 
 
Bye For Now,

Recharge, Refresh, Renew.....

 

 
 
 
 
I've just returned from a wonderful long weekend, with my lovely friend.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A time, very much needed by both of us, to recharge and refresh our very depleted energy levels. Walks along the beach, I still can't go very far, but I'm determined I will again one day.
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
Time given to pottering, reading, chatting and laughing.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
We stayed in a perfect little cottage in the Suffolk seaside town of Aldeburgh, the weather was warm and sunny.....the fish 'n' chips, just right! We sat on the beach eating them with a bottle of Boudreaux......yes just right!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We bought fish from the local fishermen and ate simple, wholesome food. My friend is an excellent cook, I'm an excellent 'tidier upper'.....the perfect team!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We loved the little fishing boats....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We took a little drive up to Southwold....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With its perfect rows of beach huts, my friend hadn't been before, and whilst it was strange not being there with my family, it was good to share and introduce to someone new.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh those beach huts.....good enough to eat!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We walked along the pier, stopping of for a small glass of wine....then giggling like schoolgirls in the pier arcade!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, recharged and refreshed......ready to face what life throws at us, (since we have got back my friend most of her time in hospital with her very poorly parents).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'twas lovely, 'twas perfect, 'twas just what we needed.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And so I continue renewing our home, the latest room to be revamped has been the hall and stairs, you may remember we revealed some wooden panels on the stairs a few weeks ago, well these have now been freshly painted....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And are just waiting for some VSA treatment! Oh yes, I do like a bit of colour!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And then it just needs a bit of titivating, another favourite activity of mine!
 
 
 
I know I've been neglecting this little space, but I'm hoping with my battery recharge I can give it, and you more time, more of my energy. I feel like I've got my voice back, I'm feeling the need to create again. It feels good...so good.
 
 
 
 
Bye for now,

Flying Visit.....

 
 
 
 
 
 
I appear to have had a little, impromptu, Bloggy Break!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm not sure why, perhaps, for once I have very little to say!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So here's a few images from my garden this week.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've adopted a very laid back approach this year.......(ok lazy, approach!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
But it still looks lush......I'm ignoring the weeds.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And loving the colour!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Even if some of its in miniature!
 
 
I'm off tomorrow on a little adventure with a good friend, if you see two ladies, sat by the sea, drinking champagne and eating fish and chips......that will be us. Suffolk......watch out!
 
 
Will pop by to see you all when I get back.....perhaps then I'll have more to say!
 
 
 
Bye for now,
 
 
Ada :) xxx
