a Set - Fashionable Friday

{long distance loving}

has set the theme this week as...


Some people play this game picking items that they would actually wear or are on their wishlist.
Most of the items I pick I would not, or could not ever dare to wear.
These Friday's Fancies posts are pure fantasy for me.

Pastels are my very favourite colours.
Always have been.
Always will be.

Pretty in Pastels

my Song

I was in primary school when Kate Bush was on the charts with this song.
I thought she was a little bit nutty, but I loved this song.
Still do now.

a Snap - Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is one of my favourite ways to visit blogs.
Mainly pictures, not too many words to read, love it!
Starting from this week I'm adding a linky to my Wordless Wednesday post
so I can see your great photos from the week.

I'm still going to link up with Trish @ My Little Drummer Boys each week.
I'm just spreading the Wordless Wednesday love a little further.


I love that these flowers come in so many different colours.
I don't think I've seen one this pretty peach colour before, though.

a Snap a Set and a Song - Irish

my Snap

The most Irish thing we have in the house at the moment is this bottle of deliciousness that we bought to celebrate St Patrick's Day last Sunday.


my Set

In my set this week I've found a gorgeous dress that was designed by Sybil Connolly, the Irish designer who created fashions for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
I've also added the very Irish claddagh and shamrock jewellery pieces.

my Song

My favourite Irish band is the Corrs.
I wonder what they're doing now.
I'd love to see them live!

I love reading books set in the past.

a Song - Tuesday's Tune



I think I may have developed a wee bit of an obsession with Keith Urban... *sigh*
I can't stop playing his songs...over and over and over.
Yep, I'm like 15 all over again!
This particular one caught my listening ear as it reminds me a little of the one and only song I wrote in college.
(Not the lyrics...the melody sounds similar)
I have it on tape somewhere, but even if I found it I can't play it because we don't have any cassette players in the house anymore.
But I'm sure if I did find it, and could play it, I'd realize that it sounds nothing like this song anyway!
Have you ever written a song?

This week it's all about the jewellery!
