Well, Wednesday is over for you now, so I hope that it went well and didn't go up in smoke!!

I love the Noddy eggcups...I'm sure that we had a couple of these when I was little.

Good morning Sophie..I'm trying to visit a few of my friends, catching up from our weekend wedding extravaganza.

Congratulations on shortening your mortgage!

I've begun Christmas decorating! I love it!

I'm very late in catching up with everyone, too. I hope everything is going well for you today, Sophie, and I will picture you relaxing tonight with your wine! Your mother's living room looks so lovely!

I can't imagine the stress that must result form the responsibility of teaching people something then add in all the paper work and..............

Your Mom's house a so beautiful. I love the ceiling and the fireplace especially.

2007-11-21T04:19:00.000Z

Sweet Sophie! I wish you the very best of luck. It is not Wednesday here, but it may be there, I am not sure of the time difference. Maybe you are already through and can settle down with a lovely glass of wine:)

I love the egg cups, our Public Television runs a Children's program called Noddy. It is cute, my little boy loved it when he was younger...*sigh*...good memories.

Take Care. See you soon.

Sophie I can relate to school stress. I have taken a well deserved year off from teaching and all I can say is Phew...hope your days get better :)
And oh the egg cups are cute!

Ta for now, Adla

2007-11-20T20:03:00.000Z

Oh, I do hope you will come to the states and open a delightful little shop! I'd visit it!

I know how you feel about the job stresses, and I applaud you for being proactive on dealing with your mortgage in order to possibly be free sooner! Hooray! We have a humongous mortgage (at least it feels that way to me!) so things are always tight, but somehow you'll get by! I too wish I could stay home and putter, and that might happen in the future, but doing something you love (like I do with decorating) makes it all that much easier to work! And earning money isn't all that bad either when you do it in conjunction with what you love. We all just do what we must! :-)

Wishing the best for you! The end of the week will be here before you know it!

Melissa

What absolutely lovely egg cups!! I agree...they will be very hard to give away!!

Good luck with school...as I've said before, not long now till Christmas break!

Speaking of bacon sandwiches...do you put HP on yours?? Weird question, I know!

The little Noddy egg cup holders are so sweet! My children loved the little Noddy books growing up (we still have them ...can't bear to part with them). Your sister will love her xmas pressies.

Don't worry, I feel the same all of the time. Work really gets in the way of what you really want to do, doesn't it? :)

Those egg cups are sooo cute!

Soon be Wednesday and then you can have a nice g and t and relax. Christmas break not too far away - although I imagine you have lots of prep work to do in your breaks.

Take care

I completely understand work stresses! I had some rough patches over the past several years until I finally decided to change my attitute to the positive (I know easier said then done!) and it has made a difference!

Oh Sophie...I have missed you! I am finally catching up and hey...if you need to vent, you vent!! Just keep thinking that this too will be a memory and will be over soon. You are SOPHIE and SO special!!!

Your Italy photos were gorgeous. I am so sorry it was not ALL glorious but I so envy anytime spent there! But yes...no matter how much I love to travel (and I DO!), getting back home to my humble little house is always the best.

And YOUR home is just too splendid! The photos of your bath take my breath away!
Oh my...that mirror alone is to die for!! Now I am seriously envying you SO much!!! *grin*

Your little noddys are just too delightful!!

YOU are delightful!!!

Hugs,
Sue

Okay, now relax Sophie, take a deep breath and repeat after me...I am a teacher, there is no one else like me...my brain just holds the knowledge but my hands still have the key...now relax...slow deep breaths...and run over and pick up your present at my place
hugs to you all

The egg cups are so cute, Sophie! I've never seen anything like that.

I'm very proud of your for shortening your mortgage. That's a huge step and you'll be glad you did. How long is a typical mortgage in England? 30 years is very typical in the States. And I have almost 30 years left on my mortgage! I'm trying to pay it down faster, so I know exactly what you mean.

2007-11-19T18:12:00.000Z

Not that I know all that much about retail, but I think you would do well at a shop!
Handling customers and buying the merchandise and setting it up to look tempting to the customer....you could do all that!

2007-11-19T17:35:00.000Z

I just found my way here via Heather at Pretty Petals. What a lovely blog! I am a big fan of Noddy (well, my kids are actually but I think he is very cute), and I am a big fan of egg cups! (Hubby and I run a gourmet shop, so my eyes are always peeled for sweet little kitcheny things, especially vintage ones!)

THEN I saw your profile! My brother and SIL got engaged in Amsterdam, and they too had a vintage style wedding (they had a flapper/deco wedding). =) I will be back as I LOVE your style and your blog! =)

Sending you a hug Hunny Bunny. *Squeeze*
I love your mums fireplace, eek & I must admit some festive fancies are creeping into our home too as I'm making them, they just keep appearing on shelves and the dresser in the dining room, it was getting a bit crazy the other day so I've banished them back to the work table for now!

2007-11-19T15:00:00.000Z

OMG - Noddy - that name certainly brings back a lot of English memories - and gives one an idea as to how old I'm getting LOL!!!!

Hope all goes well for you at school Sophie - I know it's hard work but I'm sure you are appreciated and loved by your students and co-workers.

You are so sensible to pay off your mortgage faster - you will save a lot of money in the long run! As for moving to the US.........well, I was coming for 1 year and have been here 45, so what can I tell you. Of course I did marry an American so had to stay - but really no regrets, life has been good. Of course life IS what you make it, no matter where you decide to hang your hat.

Love your Mum's bathroom and fireplace - she has great taste, just like you!!

Have a great week dear.
