Le Creuset

Oh, my gosh!! I went into our local Le Creuset store today to find a gift for our Cheetah's teacher who got engaged last week. Choices are very hard to make in a place like that but this is what I finally bought for her and her fiancé. A beautiful dish (in this divine colour) that can be used for just about anything; I LOVE it and I hope she does too...

More delicious cook-and-tableware from Le Creuset.....

Hmmmm.... Of course there are plenty more colours to choose from, but this one is my favourite. Maybe that's the reason I chose it for Cheetah's teacher, but at least she can exchange if she prefers a different colour. From now on I will put a little bit of cash aside each month and work on a collection of this beautiful cookware for myself.... Yes!!!

Happy Day!!

Paint effects

My husband is a keen woodworker, and a brilliant (self-taught) one at that, too! We have some lovely pieces of furniture in the house, made by him, which I am very proud to show off to everyone who walks through our door. Everything he knows about woodworking, he learned from reading books and watching videos.

Most of the time, I'm a natural wood kind-of-girl; but just sometimes the look of painted wood takes my fancy. To give me something to "play" with, my Captain made a simple long-legged wooden table.

Here is the result of my "fooling around" with paint and brushes.....
