More of the White Stuff!

Look at Mr.Boodle!
Like a snow leopard!
Run, Buster......like the wind!
The depiction of dog happiness!
If you have caught any of the news bulletins it wont have escaped you that the country is swathed in a white blanket!
My goodness, the worst winter for 30 years, so they say!

The woods look magical because of it........
and the view through this window looks pretty magical too

Snowdrops, candles, clear glass, lovely!

And the scent of white hyacinths, sublime

I shall be enjoying the weather from the comfort of a favourite armchair

Many of the schools are closed today
Hear those cries of delight from the children
Many snowmen to be built and many sledges to use!
I love this Molly Brett illustration, seems to sum it all up!


Stoke the fire, and keep warm and toasty,
Love Sarah x

(the snowdrop, hyacinth and armchair pics are all from my scrapbook so probably started life in Country Living, Country Homes and Interiors or The English Home.)

  25. Thanks for your lovely comments about my Chalet. Someone commented saying they would use it as a gift box, I think it's not so christmassy you couldn't use it the rest of the year!

    Now that I've stumbled across your blog I have been reacquainted with memories of an amazing book I used to read all the time thanks to the snow illustration above with all the animals!

  29. I tried to find an email for you but couldn't. Not a prob, you asked about my craft punch, As for my craft punch, It's from Fiskars, I spent ages hunting high and low for it, in the end contacting fiskars US, they sell it in the States but not in Europe!

    Here is a link to the fiskars site (they don't send international, but you can see what I'm meaning).

    I got mine from a US seller on Ebay.com

  30. oh, that looks so pretty and fun - probably because I'm not experiencing it! I wish it would snow so I could take a photo of my new tree covered in snow. I'll check out that book - thanks!!

  31. Oh your snow pictures are FABULOUS. Don't the trees look like exquisite lace? There's some doggy magic oging on beneath.

    Your scrapbook pictures made my eyes pop out. Just lovely, especially the snowdrops - I can't wait for them to come out can you?

  32. T'is the season for home knitted socks, mugs of hot chocolate, slabs of chocolate, thermal vests, silly hats, red noses and chilblains... I love it..in all it's purity and extremes..
    Enjoy it while it lasts.. it is so much better that the wet and mild winter they promised us. Thank goodness the met office get it so wrong sometimes! Though I know not all agree with me..
