Let it snow!
Well, we've finally had some snow here in Oxfordshire and as I'm sure it will be a dim and distant memory by this time tomorrow I thought I would show you some photos of the wonderful white stuff!
This is our neighbour's dog in the lane outside the cottage; isn't he lovely?
This is the snowman my husband built this morning! I hope he looks after my scarf!
Now this is just what you need to keep you warm during this cold snap; what could be more cosy than a snuggly eiderdown? Oh, and that reminds me, my online shop opens its doors next week on 14th February! There'll be lots of cosy quilts and eiderdowns for sale but until then, please stay warm!
What a poser - the dog, I mean, or do I mean the snowman? I'm not sure!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck etc for 14th Feb. Not that you'll need it, of course! I think there are a lot of bloggers just itching to see what you will be listing.

What gorgeous photos! Has the sweet dog ever seen snow before? He looks a little befuddled! =) Your snowman is just lovely, too. I can't wait to see your online shop! I hope you ship overseas!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that dog.
ReplyDeleteHe appears to be quite wet..silly boy..!
Your cottage is pretty in the snow, and you had enough to make a good sized snow man..!
Looking fwd to Feb 14th and not just for Valentines Day..!
;);)
Oh, it snowed over here yesterday as well but since it was getting warmer at night, it all melted away last night.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tall snowman your husband built!
Can't wait to visit your online store on 14 February .... and last but not least, your last photo is gorgeous!
You know we did'nt get a spot of snow but the childrens school about 10 mins away and tucked away in the downs was covered - they had a great day playing in it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to checking out your website but am sure it will be like the start of a car race or the Janurary sales. At least I can't get stamped on in the rush...
Good luck with it all.
Best wishes Ginny
Clare, it all looks so lovely! I could definitely use that warm, cozy quilt with the cold nights we are having here!! Can't wait to 'see' your online store!! Congratulations & good luck with it all!!
ReplyDeleteHi Clare, here in my part of the south the snow didn't last long.
ReplyDeleteIn a weather like this a eiderdown and a nice cup of tea is almost all that we need. :)Will come back to visit your shop. Lots of luck!

Your neighbours dog is gorgeous. What a beautiful face. The snow with you looks so much more pretty than it did here in London where is quicky turned to grey mush.
ReplyDeleteVery excited to see your new shop on Wednesday!
Wish we had some snow up here- love your snowman-lol
ReplyDeleteKeep warm

P.s that is a beautiful dog - is it a lurcher??
Isn't the snow amazing. We've had loads of snow here in south Wales the past 2 days. The schools have been closeed and there's been snow ball fights and sledging all round.
ReplyDeleteI love the dog and the snowman is so tall.
ReplyDeleteI live in France but my family are still in England, I heard on the news that it was the most widespread snow for a decade.
That quilt looks just what you need to keep you cozy and warm.

Greetings from snowy Norway ! I simply love your blog with all its wondefull photos of everything vintage. I can not wait to see all the goodies you have in your online store. I will be there with bells on on February 14th - and what a great day to open - on Valenties Day ! Good luck !
ReplyDeleteClare, the snow looks awesome! The doggie is so adorable. And I think your husband is great for building that snowman. Good for him!
ReplyDeleteYou did get some snow. Adorable photos of the doggy and your hubby's super snowman. What a gorgeous vignette with the roses and quilt. Can't wait to see inside your shop. I'm sure it will be a very big hit.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Your husband did a wonderful job with the snowman!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till your shop opens! Will you ship to the U.S.?
Hi everyone, thank you for your lovely comments. Tracy; yes, he is a lurcher! Unfortunately all that's now left of the snowman is his carrot nose!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite a busy time here getting everything ready for the online shop and I really do appreciate hearing from you all - and yes, I do ship overseas!

Thanks a lot for leaving a comment on my new birdcage. ´Guess what, I bought two little sweet pink (plastic) birds on Saturday and put them inside. It looks much better now, not yet perfect, but much better.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of putting a heart inside, too. I just need to sew a little one now...
Good luck with your last preparations for your online shop! I will definitivly try to pass by on Wednesday!
Your last photo is so beautiful, you really have a knack for decoration.
ReplyDeleteThe pic of that dog is precious! He is beautiful.
ReplyDeletedont forget, you've been tagged to write 6 weird things. See my blog!
