little things you may not have known about me...

 Hello lovely friends...

It is a beautiful rainy morning in my part of the world.

Autumn has arrived in all her glory and I am delighting in the cooler weather and rainy days...

I have something a little different to share with you all today...  My sweet friend Elizabeth from Ponderings From the Inglenook (one of my very favourite places to visit by the way...) recently shared this delightful Q & A with her readers and I thought it would be fun to do it too!

Oh...and you may have noticed my lovely new blog design...{{Smiles}}  

Elizabeth very kindly offered to create a beautiful new design for me and oh...what a wonderful job she did!  I love how femininely simple it is...and of course all the flowers make my heart sing! 

Elizabeth also did my previous blog designs for me too...she has a way of creating something that really reflects my personality and interests... And she is such a precious friend too!  {{smiles}}
