Three Good Things

1. Lavender and roses making the bedroom smell sweet and look pretty...

 
2. Cute & Easy Crochet With Flowers!! I am beyond excited about this book, it is beautiful it really is. So many lovely projects in gorgeous colours and all styled so nicely. Chrissie and I are planning a crochet-a-along with a project from the book, starting next month. Hopefully a few of you will join in...
 
 
Apples given to us by our lovely neighbour, who has a huge apple tree in her garden. She was very generous and gave us a large bag full. We have already made (and eaten, i must admit...) tarte tatin and lots of stewed apples to have with custard or ice cream...
 
Hope everyone is having a lovely week...

  11. Thanks for your lovely comment on the cardigan!
    We are struggling with the amount of apples from our tree this year, I wish some neighbours would take some of them!! I might have to make a tarte tatin, we are all fed up of crumbles and pies!

  12. That rose and lavender posy looks lovely and I am sure it smells wonderful. The crochet along sounds great, what a good idea. As for the apples, I also had some dropped off last night, aren't we lucky and I can't wait to make apple pie or tarte tatin. Enjoy your week lovely Marianne xoxo

  14. I'm currently looking at Nicki Trench's book Cute & Easy Crochet, will definitely look at getting her new book. I've just made a lovely apple cake from Thistledown Dreams blog- it's absolutely delicious. Liz

  16. Such a happy little post, I'm a bit in love with the crocheted flowers book too, already made and blogged my first make from it 'flower pin cushion', but I love the flower bag so much, a crochet along sounds fun and those apples look so yummy.

  18. All good things come in threes. Waiting for my apples to be ready. They are Egremont Russets and are a late apple. Still a few plums on the tree. Will look out for the crochet along pictures.

  19. Such beautiful good things Marianne - gorgeous fragrance as well as beauty; exciting new inspirational book; and eating an apple freshly picked from the tree is such a fab experience!
    I don't have that lovely book but have ordered no less than four publications this week - shhhhh - so think I may be looked on with disapproval if I stretch things any further, although I must say a crochet-along is very tempting! We'll see!!!
    Happy days to you!

  21. Such good things. Mmm, tarte tatin - I love it so much but the only time I tried to make it was a disaster. I must try again! x

  25. That's the second time I've read rave reviews about that book this morning, am definitely going to pop over to Amazon for a nosy!

    I am not the biggest fruit eater (unless it's with olive oil in a salad) but you've just jogged a memory - my grandmother would make a french apple tart (is that the same as tarte tatin?) about once a year and I used to love it.

  26. That book looks tempting even to a total novice crocheter like me! And how lucky to have such a generous apple bestowing neighbour :)
