Simple Things, Beautiful Charms

I recently got a comment from Cathy Penton, who's inspiring work room you can see above. You must stop over at her home blog 'Simple Things, Small Joys', and have a look. Beauty abounds here.
This is another pic of her beautiful work space...love that cabinet, which actually has a hutch on top, but Cathy took it off 'for a change'.
These are here hand made soldered charms. Most have a French theme, which I love. I could totally see these little beauties become part of my wrapping ensemble of brown paper, linen twine, flower...and a charm. Ness xx
Don't forget to have a look at her shoppe

  1. Hey Ness,
    I am new to your blog & have to say am so glad I found you. I have just come over from Mels blog about the keep calm posters (I am the Lyn who wrote in my blog about the price of these). I just want to thank you for mentioning the ones on Etsy, I am about to go & have a look at them.
    Hope you have a great day

  2. Cathy's creations are divine and she has such an elegant style. I would love to have her come through my new home with Madam 'Lily G' to give me some pointers and between the both of them I would end up with a dream home! A-M xx

  4. A-M...I totally agree. I would love miss Lily (Judy) to come through my place with Cathy. It would be something special I am sure....when I win the lotto I will shout us both a home makeover!

    Welcome Lyn. The whole original poster price thing is ridiculous...I am glad to have found the Etsy shop.

    Mel, I have been soooo inspired after looking at Cathys blog. I am thinking the all white makeover will be coming sooner than expected...look out Mic!!

  6. Wow, what a gorgeous way to start my Sunday morning. Thank you so very much for doing this gorgeous post for me... I will definitely put a link you your lovely blog...These comments nearly made me cry. Just a quiet country girl doing what she loves. My cottage is so very tiny one day I will have to do a video to show you all because no one believes me (lol)... I have another building that hopefully one day will be my pet project...Anyway off to paint an old wardrobe white and I am thinking about leaving the door the soft blue it is but will have to see....May put some chicken wire as the panels not sure yet... Thank you again.....I have a big smile on my face...Luv Cathy xxxx

  7. Cathy,
    You are more than welcome. About your house, I think you will have to do a video or something..not because I don't believe you, the opposite - I would love to see the rest of your place. You really got me motivated on the Weekend, I got heaps done.
