Oil cloth delights

The house we moved into last August now feels like home ~ we have all settled in.  There is still much to be done though.  You know its the little things that I like doing in the house. For example, I have an oil cloth already on the kicthen table but I have been on the hunt for a new one ~ just to bring a new feel to the room.

I have recently been introduced to viva la frida which has the most delightful mexican oil cloth for sale.  Their sister site is oil cloth uk. My friend ordered a few different oils and has simply covered her kitchen stools ~ they look stunning.

When visiting viva la frida, i was drawn to these in particular:-

So I think I might order some oil soon.  Whilst on the kitchen, if you have any favorite websites that have a vintage or english or country or thrifty feel, please let me know... I'd love to find some new places to look.

Cat in the Hat ~ Zach's world book day costume

World book day was on 5th March 2009.  Every year, its one of the creative chances I get make a book character costume.  I was made up this year when Zach said he wanted to be Cat in the Hat !

So here my version of Cat in the Hat....

Anyone fancy a cup of tea?

IN our house, the kettle is always on the stove as soon as my little legs can get me to the kitchen once the morning alarm has buzzed...

 

I love tea.... always a pot on the go in our house. Until recently I always drank tea which was on special offer at the local supermarket. Since moving house over the summer, I have surprised myself and found that my favorite cuppa is now that made of yorkshire tea.

 

SO when you stop by, please feel free to ask for a nice cuppa! I can make you a cup of coffee if you prefer but would much rather take you to Starbucks for that!
