I’m feeling in a very purple mood this week which is, I assure you, a lovely mood to be in! Here’s why . . .
One of our orchids is in bloom, with such vibrant colours. And we now have a few more flowers on the first one.
Postlady brought a surprise package for me containing
Some gorgeous fabrics, little embellishments and the most beautiful handmade card from Avis, to celebrate my birthday earlier this week.
I also received a lovely crochet flower from Monique
This is a scissor fob, and also to keep my thimble in!
And, last but not least . . . something that had been on order since before Christmas, was finally ready to be collected – my “Purple Wonder” ^^

What a brilliant birthday! Many happy returns 🙂
thank you Kate ^^
Happy birthday. My you will get a lot of crafty shopping in your purple wonder!
Love the colour of your car!
a gorgeous purple, isn’t it? My attitude, might as well go for a colour not many people choose.
I love Purple Wonder and am so jealous! Enjoy the ride in her!!
yes she is pretty, isn’t she lol
Beautiful flowers and I love the new car/truck? The scissor fob is adorable!! I love reading all of your updates. You make beautiful things!
thank you Kimberley ^^
The Picasso is a car – I guess you don’t see many French cars where you live, this is a C3 Citroen. Quite common on French roads, but very few in purple lol. I chose purple a) because it’s such a fun colour and b) it’ll be easy to spot my car on the carpark lol.
Purple….that is a beautiful color 🙂 and the flowers are very beautiful!
Beautiful orchids, a friend of mine used to grown a house full of them 🙂 I love all your goodies and your car is Awesome! Purple is a fabulous colour 🙂 and Happy Belated Birthday Claire, I knew it was this month but didn’t know the date. ox Izz
Your Moths orchids are amazing, perhaps he can convince my moth to grow some 😁 lovely car, not a common colour for a car in OZ, happy driving
