Happy Monday everyone. It is a public holiday here so that is a great reason to be happy. We are also on school holidays for two weeks. This will actually be our last school holidays ever. On Friday when I got home I found a envelope stuck half way in the letterbox. It was my prize of some scraps which I won on Stef's blog. Look at the lovely floral/rose material I won in a giveaway. Thank you so much Stef.
Please make sure you hop over to Stef's shop to have a look to see what she has on offer.
Over the weekend we went here for some lunch. Nothing like sitting in lovely surroundings and being served a meal in super quick time. Look at the sweet peas in full bloom on the front side fence.
We sat around the side of the home. It is a great setting with cushions etc and floral inspired tablecloths. The smell of Jasmine perfumed the area. Several of these climbers were in full bloom just near our table.
I am also happy to have done block one of this Block of the Month by Dawn. I have decided to do mine with button hole stitch. I hope everyone has a Happy Monday.

Hello Bev,
ReplyDeleteYou have been really busy. I have been MIA for a while but all good. What beautiful fabric and can't wait to see what you do with it. I finally got around to the quilt shop and found some fabric for the board to my mini quilt. I hope to finish it this week. This week here in So California we will be indoors, if possible. The temps here are in the triple digits. I guess Summer forgot it's Fall. I love the photos of that little cafe with all it lovely flowers. Looks like a place where I could sit all day and read. Your quilt block is adorable. Have a great day
What a lovely place to sit and relax.
ReplyDeletepublic holidays are the best! and to have two weeks - fabulous! That cafe looks like a great place to have lunch and hang out - like hanging out in someone else's garden. Love your new rose fabric - so feminine and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely Happy Monday post Bev. So many goodies! Spring has just began and so many flowers are blooming already. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your long weekend Bev! Twas lovely wasn't it! Beautiful photos as always - I can almost smell the Jasmine :)!
