Happy New Year.

 Well hello,and a happy new year to you all,i hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year,i know we did and we enjoyed every minute of all the hustle and bustle.Do you like my flowers,they are just some of the many that i received for my birthday,dont you just love flowers,they make me smile and feel loved.
I love the glass dome all dressed up for the season,it has little lights and they were lit every evening in our lounge,they were very relaxing and we looked forward to our quiet time just the two of us,i mean lets face it,at this time of year nobody really gets a minute to themselves.
My favorite...a trifle i just love it,and this year i made a boozy one(yummy),well if the Grand Marnier is good enough for Ina Garten(barefoot contessa )its good enough for me.I was going to put fruit soaked in lacquer in it but i thaught it would knock every ones socks off,but i must say it was lovely and i will make it again.
As you can see our little darling has also enjoyed himself,plenty of walks because Daddy is on holiday,he also loves this little quilt and one of my wraps that he lays his little head on,not a bad life is it Harry.!!!!...
A new lantern that i am so in love with,and why is that..it runs on batteries,its fabulous,my sister gave it to me as part if my birthday gift,and i must say its great as in the past iv always loved them but the smell was awful because they worked by putting oil in them,so one very happy antique little girl am i,the easiest thing in the world and the cleanest.
Do you remember my last post...rewiring had to be done everywhere.Well behind this picture is the most ugly electricity box you have ever seen and its big!!!!!.infact its so big it just would not fit into the cupboard where the old one lived,its a nightmare,so up comes Mr B with a fab idea.
My darling said he would make me a wooden guard,you know what i mean..like a mini fire guard to go around the box and he would paint it for me,it made me think of a collage with cut up magazines,and i have many of those,so the guard was made now it was up to me to think what to do,and this is the result,center page from one of my magazines and lots of flowers to cover the rest i even did the inside,so at last the problem was solved quite quickly and cheaply,and were both happy with the end result..what do you think!!!!.Anyway thats enough for today,so you all take care and stay safe,my best wishes to you all.xUna.x.

  1. Happy New Year to you Una, love your festive decorations and can image the lovely warm glow in the evenings,the trifle sounds scrumptious. Harry looks very relaxed on his blanket but I hope he lets you have your wrap back! What an ingenious idea your hubby had for hiding the electrical box you wouldn't know it was there.

  2. I have to say the Grande Marnier caught my attention...it is my favorite drink, ever! I am drooling, but it is pretty expensive here in the states. Your darling pup is so cute!
