Just Some Lovely Images

 


I used to have lots of scrapbooks, I saved clippings from magazines, pages from books that had fallen apart and little bits and pieces that would be stuck in to decorate the pages.  Then lots of house moves happened and one by one the books and folders were no longer with me.

Now I see a lovely image on the internet and save it for me to pore over in the computer memory.  It takes up a lot less room and I can save at the press of a button.

And when we next move house there will be no heavy box to carry.


Anything can catch my attention, but beautiful houses, rooms or china are pretty much my favourite things to save.  For a few years I tried to save things on Pinterest but it simply wasn't as easy to me as it is saving them into my photo folders on my memory backup box, and I rarely went back to visit them.

  So it was just an online version of dusty photos in a box at the back of a cupboard.


Isn't this lovely cool looking bedroom inviting after all these hot nights we've been having recently.

  Although in the dead of a cold Winter you would have to hang some lovely rich looking curtains, and add cushions, throws, and rugs on the floor to cosy it all up.

Yes, photos make me think and plan.


I think I would look forward to washing the pots, if these were the pots that needed to be washed. 💖


Of course it's not all just staring at pretty photographs and 'pie in the sky' dreaming.


It was looking at photos like these that helped me design my own kitchen when we moved into our current homes.

Useful and beautiful ... William Morris would be proud.

  2. I agree - I rarely clip pictures or articles these days. And I frequently take a snapshot on my phone, if I find a picture or recipe in a magazine. My new kitchen has been planned very carefully. I hope Mr Morris would approve!

  4. Lovely photographs. I screenshot pretty images to use once in free online jigsaw puzzles. They are quite relaxing, all the pieces are the right way up, and none are missing.

    1. I love pretty china, but I like it even more when it is mismatched. My favourite plate is a little green china one, I'm thinking of switching to all pretty old plates eventually. ❤️

  8. Those photos are just so you! I can see why you chose them, especially ones with green things! I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes mismatched things.
