~Spiders Webs and Kicking of Leaves.........

Salutations.....
The days have gone by in a whirl wind since my last postings..

I have noticed how quickly the seasons change and this can bring on a little melancholy  for the summer that never really was ......

Hydrangeas at there most beautiful dried and displayed, the colours faded, but beautiful. 

*************

I have been reading and enjoying this wonderful book, a gift from a dear friend.

It seems just the perfect time to enjoy the pretty pictures as they reflect the time of year and the seasons changing all around us right now!

**********

I simply love the magic of Fairies and you may know the book already.......

A Flower Fairies Journal by Cicely Mary Barker.

It reminds me of a film I love also 'Fairy Tale' a true story.
A proper Sunday afternoon movie, especially with a cup of hot chocolate!

**************

Have you noticed 'spiders webs' already woven in the corners of your windows?
I have.

They don't bother me as I simply fell in love with Charlotte's Web, the book by E. B. White, when I was in my primary school years.
I also read the book to my children, I still have my original copy, a little tatty, but just as adorable.

But again October is usually the month to see spiders spinning busily.
*******************

We had a 'Special home coming Gathering' over the weekend with all the usual trimmings!

I made Angel Delight.... 
Very simple, but effective.
My kind of dessert.

A very Nostalgic Treat!

It always reminds me of my child hood.

It was just a gathering to reflect on all the excitement and wonderful days we have just enjoyed.

I do love a Tea Party though!

A rare picture of Pedro, my charismatic 'Tom', he shares his life with three female cats so can often be a little touchy!! hehe..

More beautiful Hydrangeas.
I love to display them every where at home......
Before the rains spoil them.
*************************

Can you have too many hydrangeas?
All picked from my little garden.

****************

I couldn't resist this little vintage style milk bottle, from the little vintage shop, where I spend all my hours and my pennies too!
Oh the good old days of drinking milk, left by the radiators at school, lovely and warm!!
I soo hated this!
Can you remember ?

*****************************

Another treat for me recently was these Converse!
I am wondering whether these are for vintage girls, but any ways I enjoyed stepping out in them in London...
I swear something happens when you reach your mid forties and you just go with your own flow of fashions... hehe.

********************
I have been asked this week to join my friend to hug some trees and kick some leaves, so I will wear them for this. Such fun!
I wondered are the leaves falling in September too?
Wishing you all a week full of Nostalgia!
Bye for now.

Thanking you kindly for sweet words always!!
