Corners of Our Home and Fireworks

The above photograph is from our bedroom. I really like the old patchwork quilt - the long hours that must have been spent patching it all together so beautifully.

This is our chest of drawers. I suppose mahogany is a bit out of vogue these days but I still like dark furniture. Am I still the only one out there who does?

In days before our daughter was born I was into making tapestry cushions. Did you spot the four of them on our bed? This one is my favourite. It reminds me of our cat Lu-Lu who was a Persian / Long Hair tabby cross who was sadly struck by a car and died some years ago now. She was a little cat but full of personality. When I would stroke another one of our cats she would get incredibly jealous. She would  flatten her ears and give me a filthy look  as if to say "How dare you? Aren't I the number 1 cat in this house?"

I also really like old books - especially childrens books. Some of the art work in these books are lovely. I may do a post soon showing some of the illustrations - you will not be disappointed! I will show you a glimpse of what I mean at the end of this post.

The brown teddy bear on the bookcase was given to me by my grandad when I was born. His pink ribbon is a bit mangled as I used to suck it!

This is some of the shelving in our study - we aren't the tidiest of people as you can see! I could never do minimalism!

Some photographs from Bonfire Night! Although the one we went to could only be called a Fireworks Display as there was no bonfire! I felt cheated having paid to get in and no fire!

The fireworks themselves were very loud and very colourful. I don't know whether I mastered taking photographs in such dark conditions. It really was a case of pointing at the sky and hoping for the best!

I liked the reds as shown above and the glittery explosion as shown below.

Here is a photograph from one of the childrens' books I alluded to above. Don't those dogs look cute! They look as if they could get up to some mischief - I wouldn't trust them with those leather looking car seats!

And there we have it - Corners of Our Home and Fireworks.

Hope you're having a good week. The weather has certainly started to feel much colder and the trees have almost shed all their leaves. Time to cosy up by the fire.

Until next time.

June.
