About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you like flowers and gardens, housey stuff, food and banter, then this is the place for you. I am a decorative artist, florist and maker of things. I sell painted furniture, plants and crafts, through a local retail shop, in my native Ireland, and wedding flowers from home. I am married to a lovely patient man and have a smashing little girl. I blog for the fun of it. Thank you for listening.

Keeping my eye to business!

Image from here.

Hello my dear readers and followers, so sorry for my long absence. I have been a busy bee, baking for 50th birthday celebrations and joint boy/girl christenings. I have been TRYING to set up a website and facebook  page, and wrestle with a new camera and computer.My head is about to explode with knowledge and learning!

I have been forming a friendship with the owner of a local giftshop and tea room and together we have been brainstorming and planning new and exciting things, that will add something to our town..I can't really say too much at the moment, but I will most certainly keep you all posted. I have also been offered some space in her shop , to sell plants and flowers and handmade goodies.As you can imagine, I am giddy as a goose, trying to stay calm and focused.

I have never been one for routine, but realise that I am not being fair to you,my loyal readers, by posting spasmodically, so I plan to post every Monday from now on. Thank you for continuing to visit me and leave your lovely comments, they mean a lot. Wishing you all a happy week ahead, love Linda x


This could be me soon!!! Image from here.

  13. Hello Linda - thank you for your sweet words. I would like to think I'll get back to blogging again - I've simply loved the creativity and kindred spirit I've found in the Blog world. Change is often good for us. Although I've met with some difficulties, I've learned much about many things. Once I've finished with the pure upheaval of another international move, I'm sure I'll feel ready to start again......
    Meanwhile I'll continue to enjoy the creativity of people such as yourself

  17. Hello Linda, thank you for your kind words. I am still in total shock at the sudden death of my husband two months ago, and now I have lost a dear mailfriend too.
    I am dealing with a lot of grief and sadness....
