Saturday night went something like that.
All these years of renovations and decorating and wanting to create the perfect home for us with "that gorgeous sofa" and filled with more stuff to look at.... in the end what I wish for more than anything is for the memories to continue to be created here in this old house.
I'm another year older today. I want time to slow down but I also want it to continue at the speed it is so I can have more moments such as these. Filled with food.
Hope you had a good weekend x
Happy Birthday! And gorgeous home! X
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The cutlery is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteOwww that is such a beautiful thing to say - your right your home is at its best when you think of who you share it with not how its decorated.
