Wednesday, 31 July 2013. Three cheers for Belle and Boo. Well, what a lot we've been up to since I last blogged! We've been on holiday to glorious St Ives in Cornwall and also to sunny Wales; we endured a week in when Little Treasure caught chicken pox (we did a lot of crafting! We've read books, been on day trips and shouted "hooray" when the sun came out! Now that the weather's gone a little gloomy (I'm not down-hearted.just trying to remember where I stashed my raincoat! The projects in this book are ...

Lady of the Greenwood. Scroll down the path through The Greenwood. The World Turns To Ice. Saturday, 12 April 2014. Restocking the Etsy Shop. Oh dear me, the shame! So, just as soon as I become rather less like Dorothy's lion and find my own courage I shall be re-opening my Etsy shop. However, if anyone knows some really efficient wizards out there who can wave their magic wands and fill me with confidence and techy savviness I would much appreciate it. Thank you. Lady of the Greenwood. Lady of the Doves.

Textile Treasure Seeker: February 2013
http://textiletreasureseeker.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 February 2013. These Shoes Were Made for Walking. This is the story of a pair of shoes that made their way home after fifty or so years. These are perhaps the most elegant pair of shoes I've ever owned. I bought them from a vintage shop a few years ago. Now, this is the bit where I confess to a bit of girliness.they weren't in my size and I would never have been able to wear them, but they were just so pretty. I had to have them, if only to look at! They even came in their original box. Perhap...

Lady of the Greenwood: January 2014

Lady of the Greenwood. Scroll down the path through The Greenwood. The World Turns To Ice. Tuesday, 7 January 2014. It seems like weeks since the winds and the rain came roaring in. We are being battered, blown and drenched to the core. A time to stay indoors and imagine the weather as it whistles through cracks and fights to enter. Here is a poem by Ted Hughes which is just right for reading in front of the fire:. This house has been far out at sea all night,. Winds stampeding the fields under the window.

Textile Treasure Seeker: Little Treasure Goes Abroad
http://textiletreasureseeker.blogspot.com/2012/08/little-treasure-goes-abroad.html
Friday, 3 August 2012. Little Treasure Goes Abroad. Hello, hello one and all! We stayed in a typically Parisian apartment right in the middle of Paris. I can't help thinking that no French apartment would be complete without a grand mirror like this one. Although it was built as a department store, Mr Treasure and I couldn't help thinking the interior looked rather like a theatre. I was really taken with the lighting and decoration on the ground floor. It's so opulent. I always think it's important to lo...

Thursday, 25 April 2013. Happy Birthday Cath Kidston! I had a lot to thank our postman for yesterday. Not only did he deliver a lovely new Cath Kidston catalogue, he also put this fabulous new book (hot off the press) through our letterbox. Hoorah! Fear not dear readers, Mr Treasure's Chief Chef in our house so we didn't have to forego dinner last night due to my stint of reading! Gone, but not forgotten. Having seen this photo in the book, I'm now lusting after a set of brightly coloured handled cutlery!

Monday, 22 October 2012. A Very Vintage Afternoon. Yesterday my friend Jo and I spent a very happy afternoon at the Petticoat Fair. Held at The Daffodil (a wonderful Art Deco cinema in Cheltenham that's now an extra special restaurant), we had a fabulous time browsing vintage stalls, doing a couple of workshops and eating afternoon tea. There were all sorts of stalls to have a good look at. Hoorah for royal tins and cushions made from vintage scarves! Lots to be tempted by. We also did a workshop on maki...
