It's all about...

...green and white today.

Things started off very well, when it was another gloriously hot and sunny day - which meant I could wear this super-duper skirt that I love with all my heart (and it only cost me £1.50 from a charity shop - you'd never believe it was from Primark originally would you?)

They then took a rather surprising and fabulous turn for the better when I received a message from Lucie at lusummers/Summersville/blu-shed saying I had won her giveaway of a piece of her totally cool hand-printed Avenue fabric! I was perhaps a tad over-excited by this news [blush]. I'm a huge fan of her designs (and her blog).

Finally, I spent an idyllic afternoon with the girls in a glorious meadow by the river, paddling and searching for old bits of broken pottery (we are hoping to make a mosaic with them one day - something like this would be good!), and eating strawberries. It's funny, I'd never noticed how lovely the green part of a strawberry is before...
