Friday Favourites: Painting

I discovered this victorian oil painting in a second hand shop 12 years ago. It was without a frame and in a pile of old pictures. I asked the shop owner the price, to my amazement he said $6! I paid him quicker than you could blink your eye.

I love the little dragonflies.

Wishing you all a fab weekend.

Tuesday Treasures: Tin

I thought that I would do a Tuesday Treasure instead of a Friday Favourite this week.

I bought this tin a few years back at a local auction. It is German and holds two perfume bottles and the original mirror. It may have been a traveling set, I am unsure?? It is one of my favourites, although the perfume is pretty smelly now.

Happy Treasure Hunting.

Friday Favourites: Brown Eyes

Hi guys,

well my cast support came off yesterday and I had my first visit with the physio. I am sure the other patients next door were terrified at the screams coming from my room, but boy did it hurt. My tendons in my wrist and fingers are as tight as drums. I have very little movement in either, let alone start on my little finger. I have a lot of exercises to do, painful but necessary so that I can get movement back. New nickname now, 'The plank'..hehe

I have been given another 2 weeks off work, so I have to try and get my wrist to bend. It is currently as straight as a board, I can't bend it down. My fingers are still swollen like sausages and the cut along my wrist is starting to pull. Gross...Now that is making me woozy I might have to lie down..haha

Now for another Friday Favourite, sorry I had to remove the linky from last weeks post, it was doing crazy stuff to my blog (sorry Catherine). This weeks favourite is brown eyes, I love brown eyes, my husband has brown eyes. My children both have beautiful brown eyes too. (mine are green/hazel eyes).





Do you have a favourite eye colour too?
