I have joined another seasonal swap called Homemade Ornament Swap hosted by freshly{blended} and Cake & Pie. This sounds like so much fun! You make and send 8-10 ornaments and receive the same back.

Day 5

Day 4
Today we’re feeling a bit sad because our pet garden frog has met an untimely end. He was hiding behind a rose bush when we were cutting the grass and is no more. Sigh. So here’s a nice picture taken in Teignmouth this summer. We’re off out to our friends house for dinner.

Winter Cath Kidston catalogue
The Winter Cath Kidston catalogue was waiting for me when I got home from work today. These little tins are cute (although I have plenty of proper vintage tins for my button collection). I love this new Christmas fabric … and these decorations. I think I’ll be heading off to my local Cath Kidston shop…
