Hello and Welcome to a Brand New Day!...... :)

Just a quick post with lots of different bits and pieces.....

Don't you just love Shabby Gates?? I know I do....

I thought this one looks so inviting......
It makes me think....

"Come in.. sit down... relax.... &

  Have a cuppa with me on the veranda"..... don't you think??

But I had better let you know I am much better at making good coffee rather than tea....:)

And how about we share a cupcake with that cuppa???

Yep.... I've discovered that even Cupcakes can be considered "Shabby"....:)
