Cheering Up

This morning I had to say a sad goodbye to my brother and parents, who were here for a week and left today. Not fun at all. But we had a great, busy visit and when I have a moment to load all the photos onto my computer, I’ll give you a little run down of what we crammed into a week!

In the meantime, I’m cheering myself up with a couple of fun bits and pieces I found when I had a little down time this afternoon. But back tomorrow with more fun stuff, I promise!

We’ve got raised beds in our back garden and I’m dying to start planting this weekend. Not knowing where to start, I bopped the question up on my twitter and @IrishFoodies came to my rescue and suggested this site. Turns out their more kid-friendly site is more my speed. Ha! So now I’m studying and learning so I can get growing!

This is a fantastic and easy idea for sprucing up boring old pillow cases.

We have lots of weddings to attend this summer – wouldn’t these be beautiful to wear over a cocktail dress? Especially in the chilly Irish summer!

Michael and I can’t stop dreaming about buying a house. It’s still ages away, but my dream list on pinterest just keeps growing. I think I need this headboard in my dream bedroom, no? Come to think of it, that duvet cover isn’t so bad either.

And if I had a shower that needed a curtain I’d be giving this a shot ASAP. Too cute.
