If Wishes Were Horses…

Today is another reveal day for The Endeavourers. How do these reveals come round so fast? Our theme this quarter was Wishes and, when that was selected by Mr Random Generator, I immediately thought of the line, ‘If wishes were horses, beggars would ride…’ but I decided to let it lie. I was hoping for […]

The first very exciting thing that happened this week was that my younger daughter, who has been in New Zealand for a year, came home. Of course, that called for tea and cake! The second was that we hosted a Vintage Afternoon Tea Hen Party for my elder daughter and that, of course, called for […]

The Trial and Error Cats

As every pet owner knows (and I’m using the word ‘owner’, here, in the loosest possible sense because we all know who really owns who), now and again, when you are not thinking too much about it, you fall quite naturally into speaking each other’s language. And so it happened the other afternoon. It was […]

Another week in the Makery

A collection of old buttons, a dress that has seen better days, a vintage napkin and some knitting in progress… And, in the Rainbow Hare Makery, another week has gone by… Janine @ Rainbow Hare
