Whims and fancies

Although I am by nature, a very practical and down-to-earth sort of person, I have a slightly more whimsical side to my nature which I enjoy indulging from time to time and a mid seventeenth century cottage seems to be the perfect place to do so.

Since I was a little child, I have loved the flower fairies (name a young girl of my generation who didn’t?). I find the art beautiful and the notion charming so I got some of my favourite flower fairies blown up to fit some old 8″ x 6″ wooden frames and hung them in the stairway. Despite the angles of the first picture, they are evenly spaced, I promise…

PS ….

Oh and many thanks to C over at Second Hand Shopper for her kind comments on my organisational skills. A friend of mine describes me as a hobbit as I need my little hobbit hole to be ordered and I do like my second breakfast and afternoon tea! The painting is going well – 3/4 of the study done with two coats and hopefully soon the first set of curtains will be done and ready to hang and show off!
