bits and pieces. . .








a posy from the garden. sweet persimmons. attempting to beat a bothersome cough. fun with a hot glue gun. looking out through freshly washed windows. preparations for mid-winter celebrations. a mountain of lovely laces and linens a friend found for me at the op-shop.

  2. Lovely images,Rachel. Aren't persimons the most gorgeous fruit? I just bought a persimmon tree yesterday at the nursery. So excited about having my own. Hope the cough heals up quickly. Homeopathics are pretty wonderful. I lean on them for everything. x

  4. What loveliness. Especially those persimmons and the linens. What are your plans for them both? I quite often see persimmons, but I am never sure what to do with them exactly! My mother has never been an adventurous cook and as a result there were quite a few foods I had no experience with. I've been slowly changing that, but I am yet to tackle the persimmon. :)

    1. I just eat the persimmons whole like apples, skin and all!. Delicious. As for the linens, I'm just admiring them lovingly at the moment. When i work up the nerve, I'd like to cut them up to make a special dress for Aila.
