Happy 4th of July!


My fondest wishes to my American followers across the pond. Here's hoping you all had a glorious day!

And, if ever there was a day to splurge on all things 'cowboy', well, today is the day. And I have!

These were my 'stars' for today on BT Yahoo homepage...

    Go ahead and treat yourself to an expensive luxury; you deserve it. Lately, you've been so focused on work that you have forgotten just why you've been toiling away. Now you have a marvellous opportunity to take some time off and indulge in some creature comforts. Buy yourself some beautiful lingerie, fragrant flowers, or fashionable clothes. Splurge on a luxurious status symbol or a piece of jewellery.

So, what did I buy???

An absolute corker of a quilt! I have admired from afar Hens' quilts, then, lo and behold, this appeared on her blog, Hen House, about 4 days ago. Somehow I missed it until yesterday! And now it is on its' way to a new home...MINE!

Hen very kindly said it was OK to use her blog photos, (thank you, Hen). So here is a montage of "Saddle Up" in glorious detail. Wow!

It should arrive tomorrow by 1 pm, so fingers crossed, then Mr Blossom gets a peek before he flies off to Dublin for a week. I guess this quilt can be my 'blanky' while he is away!

    I'm so behind in posting comments on the blogs I love. Sorry about that. I'm going to blame the looming birth of my tiny one. :) We had a wonderful 4th of July here in the middle of the old USA. Nothing Earth shattering, just lots of fun. I LOVE that quilt you found. Looks fabulous, and perfect for snuggling. Hope you are having a great weekend!!!

    Oh that is BEAUTIFUL! Hope it's arrived by now (I am shockingly behind with blog comments, I know!) and that you're enjoying snuggling up to it :)
