Half Term Sunshine

-
We've been away over half term but my mind's been filled with creative ideas. Devon was beautiful in the sunshine and we were so lucky to have such lovely weather.
Plans are afoot!

Hi Robin, I'm afraid I'm not very good at names of things! I so wish I was. Anyone out there know? :) I said that and didn't elaborate in case I jinx it all! ;)

Thanks Cynnie! :)

I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern.   It's based on   an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t...
