Hume Sweet Hume...

When flicking through the november issue of the lovely 'country homes & interiors' magazine...

I thought this looks like scrummy stuff,then i realised i have some of these lovely items...

Made by 'Hume Sweet Hume' in orkney by two sisters...oohh my you should see were they live & have their wonderful business...
Here is some of the info from one of their tags,sorry forgot to rotate the photo,hope that you are all good at reading sideways!!

And here is my lovely bag in a slate grey,well they call it mint?It is part of the 'grobust' design,52% silk,48% lambswool..with a lovely design on one side & a plainer design on the other..

The bag fastens with a loop & a wonderfully smooth pebble...

I bought the brooch seperatly & added it to the bag...

Even the brooch has a lovely pebble...

I have a purse to match..

Each item comes with a tag & a lovely pebble...one i use as a bookmark...

These clever girls make jumpers,cardi's & scarfs along with the bags,purses & brooches in different designs & colours...if you fancy taking a peek here is were to find them..www.humesweethume.com

Iwas lucky enough to stumble across their lovely items when on holiday in wonderful cornwall from christines at the seagarden portscatho..

Take a look..you will be glad you did!!..

The little room...

This week the little room has been 'autumn' cleaned,bit late to say spring cleaned isnt it?

The little room has so many responsibilities,poor little room...it is suppossed to be the spare bedroom but is also where a lot of my bears live...the office...mr h's dressing room...& what ever else we need it for really...

Our lovely driftwood mirror bought from lovely polperro...

some of the gang...

i love cushions especially with the 'nautical' theme...

pretty shell tie backs....

more of the gang & pots of sea treasure we have collected...

i love the colours of this hand blown glass bauble..it reminds of the coastal tones...

Mr hobby horse...

My pin board decorated with special cards from special people...

Sometimes a good blitz is required..fresh bedlinen even though it has'nt been slept in...

The little room is a lovely sunny little room,the light floods in ...its rather a popular sunny spot for love of my life & tai...

This wonderful portrait was a gift from my friends little girl 'princess gracie'...it is a firework display! I collected princess gracie from school on monday while her mummy went for a scan on the new baby. We had great fun,her little face lit up when she saw me waiting at the school gate & so did mine if i'm honest...off we set with our bag of bread to feed the ducks then off to the tearoom for a large slice of chocolate cake,princess's favourite! Next were the swings,i know what you are thinking is that a good idea after the choci cake!! Princess does make me smile,the things they come out with.. sooo sweet.

As a thankyou i got a box of these..yummy!! A long with lots of kisses & big fat hugs...lovley!

Yesterday was a trip to the gym,i had a great workout. Today i am in the wars..after falling flat on my face on my way home..boy did i go down with a crash!! So today i am nursing a bruised chin, jarred shoulders & arms & a very poorly knee all swollen & bruised,not that i am after any sympathy or anything?!!!!

Hope you are all having good weeks...xx

Let us tell you a story...

The inside sleeve decorated in playfull bears...

INTRODUCTION.
Three chubby baby-bears,
white,and black and brown,
Fluffy,Nig and Dingy,

How they came to town.

Where Fluffy found her bread and milk;

Why Nig liked honey best;

Where Dingy found the berries;

And-the story tells the rest!

This is on the inside sleeve,a greeting from a grandma to her little grandson on his first birthday,which we think is august 10th 1910.

Lovely illustrations..

Why they left the town....

Jolly little baby-bears woke at break of day,and found their breakfast ready,but puck had gone away.

Merry little baby-bears,thankful as could be,wrote to puck a letter,and pinned it on a tree.

Wondering little baby-bears strolling into town,first were glad then sorry,to meet the circus clown.

''watch out'',cried the friendly clown,''the circus comes to-day,and heres a notice saying:-''three cubs have ran away.''

Frightened little baby-bears asked the nearest way to leave the town behind them-then the band began to play!

How those frightened baby-bears,white and black and brown,fluffy,nig and dingy,hustled out of town.

Racing,puffing baby-bears nearly dead from fright,tried hiding in a city,and all got lost that night.

Lost and lonesome baby-bears,did they meet again? May be not-may be their story'll tell us when.~

I bought this delightful little childrens book a good few years ago now, from the antiques mill were i have my unit. It is part of a series,''little mother series'',by john howard jewett.

Inside are some lovely illustrations with six stories in all. I wonder how many times these stories have been told to help get a little one to sleep...

Love of my life wasnt to impressed,instead was enjoying a cuddle with mr h...

I hope that you have all had lovely weekends,wet & windy here today. We have been out for a lovely lunch with my mum & dad to celebrate their wedding anniversary which is tomorrow 39 years!

Please welcome William...

i think we have another shy one,come on william be a big brave boy...

Thats it slowly does it....William is the someone special i wanted to introduce you too...

Introducing William,my gorgeous Ridi bear....
Another ridi to add to the gang...& look what william arrived with a postcard of one of his siblings & a little bag of haribo teddies for his new mummy...how sweet!

William arrived all the way from germany last thursday...i couldnt wait to get the box open as i walked home from the post office..i knew there was something very special inside...& there was even more special than i had imagined..as william had a special surprise for me!

After i had carefully unpacked him & oooed & rrrd i opened williams tag to look at his details & had the most lovely surprise...ridi bears come with their date of birth & williams had so much meaning for me...it is 26th August which is my darling nans birthday who we lost eight years ago..i just couldnt believe it...the tears started to roll down my cheeks,the tissues came out..love of my life was looking at his mummy with great concern & trying to love me better.

The first thing to do was phone & tell my mum as i knew mum would think it just as lovely especially as a few days before it had been eight years since we lost my nan..so we decided nan had sent william to me...thankyou nan..i love you will all my heart.xx
I dont believe this i have just deleted three lovely pics of william...william didnt start life as william he started life as 'nick',which i thought was a bit boring...so i decided to call him 'william' after my grandad,i think he looks like a william dont you?...william has a wonderful wrinkly tummy & wears a wonderful rusty old bell around his neck...Rita has aged him,so that he looks like he has been around for years & had lots of cuddles...william now sits on a chair next to my bed..were he watches over me while i sleep or normally do!! Bit of a sore point..if i dont get a good nights sleep soon there could be a murder!!

Here are the Ridi Gang....
From the back left: william,tommi.jussuf & tinchin at the front....i could eat you all sooooo scrummy..... now i have deleted about five pics now so i am going to add them again now which means this is a bit muddled,so sorry folks!! And there goes another!! keep smiling!!
