nine little things












  1. My biggest little things - school holidays with these three. Yes, it has been a little up and down. But I'm determined to enjoy these last few precious days.
  2. Amazed at the generosity of bloggers - a beautiful parcel sent by Zara of the charming Zaranne Handmade. If you do happen upon this book it is an excellent read. Isn't the bunting gorgeous? Thank you again Zara.
  3. New Japanese Lawn for a dress.
  4. Country Style and a cuppa. The perfect antidote to school holiday chaos.
  5. Rabbit pie (based on a Jamie Oliver recipe from Jamie's Great Britain)
  6. The latest library reading pile. A Cooks Life enjoyed and completed, moving onto The Food Clock.
  7. Village wandering.
  8. Spotting an abundance of yellow. For the gardeners out there - is this Forsythia?
  9. Bringing a little bit of this sunshine inside.



What little things have you been enjoying lately?

  8. I would recognise one of Zara's bunting anywhere, they are gorgeous.
    Beautiful photo of your three Tania, hope the remainder of the holidays treat you all well.
    Would you believe I am still making my way through CS Auguest? The cover of the latest issue is enticing me though so I may flick through it quickly today.

  9. Such lovelies. Don't know if I've commented before but I really appreciate your blog. And yes, that is definitely forsythia. I live in NY and it grows like a weed here in the Spring.
    Blessings.

  10. Hi Tania,
    Your pics are beautiful. It looks as if your home is what I wish mine was a little more like!
    My little things are similar to yours too - school holiday hugs, home made bread rolls for lunch, birthday wishes from afar, and sleep-ins all week.
    Enjoy the rest of your time with the kids.

  11. Your munchkins are delightful. And rabbit pie...yes please! Here...well Rooibos tea is going down beautifully (in an effort to curb the caffeine) as well as some summer knitting ("Tikki's Adam" in a pima cotton...would be gorgeous on your girls...I've ravelled it if you want to have a sticky beak).
    Enjoy these lovely days :) x

  13. I'm glad you liked the gifts.
    Violet looks to be loving the company and playing companions of the older two.
    A great selection of reading material you have there. I love my copy of the Womens Weekly Country Collection, both for the recipes and the stunning country photos.

  14. Look at your three gorgeous one and Violet's happy face:) Blogging is a wonderful thing isn't it, the kindness and generosity of others is truly amazing I've found. I love your new fabric too, very pretty. Enjoy the last few days of your school holidays, ours are almost over too sadly. Wishing you a fantastic Friday. x
