Quiet times

22 07 2007 181

After all the excitement of Vanessa's party it all seems very quiet here in blog land with people taking time off to holiday, spend time with family and some even giving up completely.

It seems quiet here at Willow House too giving me plently of time to watch the world go by.

Time to quietly try and fill my Etsy shop.

But it's definetly not quiet for everyone and having just read her exciting news I'd like to offer my congratulations to the lovely Maryam of My Marrkesh.

I'm late, I'm late

Just like the White Rabbit I'm late for a very important date. I'm supposed to be over at Vanessa's http://afancifultwist.typepad.com for a party celebrating her 200th post, but I'm not ready yet.

I've spent much of the day shopping for an outfit like this:

Peg doll clothespin people 019 (Miss Peggle)

or these:

Fairies & things 015 (Fairies Flora & Rosa)

but to no avail, so I'll just have to go as I am. I have a long journey through the magic forest to get there

and I'll almost certainly have to stop and ask the way:

but never fear I will get to the party, hopefully before all the cake has gone!

Midsummer Flowers

The garden is loving this weather, rain one day, warm sunshine the next and there is an abundance of flower as a result. I have an archway (well more like a tunnel really) that leads eventually to the lawn, I'm surprised it's managing to stand under the weight of the roses,
