A 'stay at home' weekend, was the order of the day.
I wasn't allowed to go out to play!
And so this is where we went..
Camping in the garden, without a tent!
They say when the sun's out, you should make hay.
As the weather was kind , we beavered away!
We've yet to do the doors, windows and frames.
And yesterday was fun as we thought about names!
'Snippets Corner' appeals to me!
I'm longing to invite friends here, for tea!
He climbed the ladder and painted the side.
Whilst she took an hour off to nip inside.
And sew the curtains, floral and bright!
Then put them up..they look just right!
A few fave posters hung in place,
All carefully done... cos it's not a race.
More to follow.. rugs, chairs, throws, hooks.
And somewhere to sit those favourite, old books!
We're getting there slowly,whatever the weather!
'Snippets Corner' is coming together!
Oh Sal that is wonderful. I shall have to come and visit you.........

It looks fab, Sal. Can just see you taking tea in there!
ReplyDeleteSnippet's Corner is just right ... after all, George Bernard had Shaw Corner, did he not? What a pretty garden hut this will be, all you will need now is time to enjoy it. I shall immediately order that the clocks be changed to 28 hours a day, so you can have four extra hours a day to spend as you please in your lovely summerhouse!

It looks lovely! I can't wait to have a little quiet haven in the garden but must finish landscaping the garden first...Quite a way to go yet as it has to be all dug up to re-route the sewage pipes which we have found out have been put in the wrong place!

What a lovely little place to escape to. Enjoy it! M x
ReplyDeleteIt's looking lovely Sal. Snippet's Corner sounds just right....just don't let Mr Snippets & Mr Cottage settle in there or you'll never move them!
ReplyDeleteShed? Shed? I don't think so.
ReplyDelete'Summer house' is more the lingo.
Pretty curtains, posters too
I wish I had one just like you.
Lovely. Enjoy! xx
What a Cozy little cottage.....I could just move right in! Can't wait to see what is next!
ReplyDeleteSaturday, Dearest, the Test is on
ReplyDeleteBut No! to the corner I am gone
With me ladder and me brush
Decorating, all in a rush
First the back, then each side,
Then the doors opened wide
How about a coffee dear?
Not till you're finished, is that clear?
Sun, relentlessly shining down below
Paint brushes flying to and fro
I'm off to sew curtains, I'll be just a minute
Back an hour later, typical innit?
Eventually , allowed a sit down
But still no cricket, just my frown
Do you like these curtains? Fix the wire
No not there, up a little higher
Why do you need the doors off?
Why can't I have a try?
Here's the brush I'm off
England v India on Sky
Get back here! and have some lunch
A torpedo roll of salad crunch
And some bickies with your coffee
Now what do you suggest we name our bothy
Hally's Holt? no, cos I won't be allowed in
To skive and rest with tonic and gin
Nor plum pie, like Jacky Horner
Let's just settle for Snippets Corner
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in my little bolt hole now. Even in the cold, snowy weather two fan heaters kept me toasty. You'll never be out of it! Its looking really cosy.
ReplyDeleteYour little retreat is shaping up very nicely indeed! What fun - can't wait to see it all finished...

It looks wonderful, I love all the prints and the lovely curtain fabric. Snippet's Corner sounds like a great name to me.
ReplyDeleteAnn x
great house
ReplyDeleteI love it
hugs Conny
Cricket over, we've beaten the world's best
ReplyDeleteAnd so I wend my way, to our love nest
Down to the corner, I sneak unseen
Now, doors and windows all painted green
Flats and edges plus all the joints
Now I wonder if I'll get any brownie points
PS for green read some poncy fashion name that costs £5 a gallon more
It looks wonderful. Already so inviting. Enjoy every minute. More photos please of Snippet's Corner. "A room of her own..." I must admit a bit of envy here.
ReplyDeleteSnippet's Corner is looking fantastic, love the curtains. Giving me a bad case of the wanties.
ReplyDeleteCarol xx
Well. that is a seriously lovely little place. I'm sure that Mr Snippetts is (as Mr Fixit would say) "bristling with Brownie points". Love it!
ReplyDeleteLesley XX
Serious case of the "wanties" here...........
ReplyDeleteLove those curtains!
Hey Sal...it's looking lovely already!
ReplyDeleteKnow it will be totally gorgeous by the time you've finished with it...I await my invitation to tea with much anticipation!
