it's all about colour.
The beautiful colours of Frannie, who was destined to sit on my sofa.
Look here to see more of Sweetnellie's wonderful creatures, that are so original and full of charm.
Next, my new favourite colour combination...
Chocolate,orange and aqua .
These beautiful packages were from Marion , I seriously didn't want to open these - they were too pretty, but when I did...
there was a gorgeous apron and matching mouse ( eeek, so sweet ! ), plus a very cute monster, I love his cheeks and hair.
Also this wonderful sticker book - illustrated by Marion,
Molly obviously loves it, I haven't allowed her to play with the stickers yet though- aren't I an awful Mother !
Take a look here for more of Marion's fun, quirky and fantastic work.
We've also been enjoying
the whiteness of Dartmoor on a snowy day. Where you have to do an awful lot of walking, to burn off the classic colour combination of this. Unless you want a very big bottom.
Ahem.
How cute.

What a great package, I have "favorited" so many of Marion's photos on Flickr, she's so talented. And a little more tea before we walk, please.

I think I'm in love with Frannie. Look at how great your craftsmanship is! She is fantastic!

You should rename your blog "SuperCute". It must feel like Christmas at your house :-)
Thanks for the "virtual" cream tea. I was just having my toast and cheese and it suddenly tasted very sweet :-)

Ok, you, bring tears to my eyes! I lived in Devon, Plymouth actually, for 3 years (moved back to California in 2002)and seeing snow on Dartmoor always moves me. Crunching through the snow on a long walk with the dog near Burrator Reservoir was one of my favorite things to do! Oh, and I could really do with a cream tea right now--we don't have those here!
