Hello & welcome!

  • My name is Jane and I live in a seaside town in Devon, England. I'm a mother to 3 lovely children and I'm happily married to Anthony. I work part-time as a Teaching Assistant and the rest of the time I can be found sewing, treasure hunting, crocheting, gardening and re-painting the furniture.

March Photos ~ Day 12

P3170039

As I recently have been the recipient of some lovely gifts I thought that you all deserved a little something as well.  So I'm doing 3 Easter Giveaways with..now don't laugh...some cleaning cloths!  Yes, cleaning cloths, but not ordinary, bog standard, boring cloths; no I wouldn't do that to you or me.  No. As it's the season for a little spring cleaning what could be better than to clean your home with pretty, flowery cloths.

So, if you would like to go into the Flowery Cloth Giveaway, please leave a comment, and on Monday I will put all your names into a hat and will draw out 3 lucky winners.

We are off to Salisbury in an hour to spend our Easter celebration with my mother and Robin.  We will be going to all of the services at the cathedral culminating on Easter Sunday with a 5am service to greet the sunrise and a champagne breakfast with the Bishop.  I'm hoping I get just as moved by the whole experience as last time I attended a service - though the children are hoping that I don't but it's angelic sound of the choir that sends me!  I'm told that each service is quite beautiful so here's hoping.  We are even squeezing in a trip to Shaftesbury which I'm really looking forward to. So, we'll be back on Monday with some wonderful photographs, I hope. 

I wish you all a peaceful and joyful Easter.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter.

What could be nicer than spring cleaning with flowery cloths? :-) It definitely would make the experience more enjoyable.

Hi Jane,
wishing you and your family Happy Easter,that is in German: Frohe Ostern!
Have some lovely days and enjoy yourself. Looking foreward to your next photos...
Tschüß,
Sabine

oooh put my name in the hat please. So far my actual cleaning is only theoretical having read Anthea Turner's Perfect Housewife and I'm sure one of these cloths might give me the motivation to actually give it a go!

Oh my gosh! Definitley could make cleaning more enjoyable. I love the light blue & pink one the most. Lovely

They're the kind of cleaning cloths that make you want to clean (well, almost!). Wishing you all a very Happy Easter

*Hali*

OOO! Those cloths are far too pretty to get dirty! I'd have to just sit and stare at them lovingly over a cup of tea. Have a lovely time away at Easter. Fi x

Yay!! What a fab offer, please add me to the list, hope you have a lovely time away, all the best for easter to you and all the other readers x

Hi Jane,

Sorry i havent said 'hi' sooner (i've been reading your blog for the last year or so and i love it)! We live near tavistock in devon so I always recognise the names of places that you talk about and some of the pictures too. Actually, you should try and visit Tavistock some time if you get a chance-I think you'd love it. There is a pannier market with some lovely stalls (similar to your friend Amanda) and some great charity shops for thrifting too ;) Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend x

These cloths cry out for a floral pinny! And how handy that I just happen to have one...hope I'm lucky. Have a lovely Easter.

Hi Jane - Hope you and your family have a lovely easter - I am really enjoying your March photos. Please count me in for the giveaway! - Natalie x

oh! i've never seen such cute cleaning cloths! i'll cross my fingers for the contest. how generous of you! have a lovely easter and weekend.

Easter blessings from Winchester; looking forward to the passion at the cathedral on Good Friday......is there one in Salisbury? Such a special experience I'm sorry I don't leave more comments, always in such a rush but I so enjoy your blog (my tiny respite in a beautiful baby busy day!) thank you more than you know x

Happy Easter from Nova Scotia, on the other side of the pond! Oh to see Salisbury Cathedral again. We did spend Easter '78 in Durham Cathedral and it was quite wonderful. Enjoy the music!

Hi Jane,
I finally sat down and caught up on your lovely blog. I must confess that I have barely opened the laptop recently, and have missed your lovely writing and pictures. It sounds odd but I so enjoy hearing about your family and your life. I put the lack of computer down to being nearly 12 weeks pregnant (Nonnie is going to be an Aunty again!!). For some reason the very thought of the computer seemed to add to my general feeling of nausea. Anyway I am hoping that will pass soon and a new phase of Spring energy will engulf me. On that note, I do think your gorgeous cloths would help my enthusiasm for a spot of Spring cleaning. In my pregnant haze I have felt totally unmotivated to clean anything!!!! Wishing you all a very happy Easter. X

I adhore how the packaging has a vintage-y feel to it. Love that your giveaway is cleaning cloths . . . a reminder to everyone that we can find pretty in the most utilitarian of things.

Happy Easter, Jane!

What pretty cloths, how could you use them to clean:) Thanks so much for the nice giveaway!

Hoping you have the most wonderful and happy Easter Jane.
The cloths are adorable, I discovered these last year but I see the designs have changed, they are much nicer than the old ones I've had.
Pretty-please enter me into the draw, I would get incredibly jumping-up-and-down excited over winning cleaning cloths, really!! :o)

I love those cleaning cloths... (never thought I'd ever write that sentence down!). Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter xx

They are just so pretty! Now look, you've forced me to de-lurk..I'm a sucker for the pretty things in life.

Even though it's Autumn (not that you'd notice with 29 degree temp. today) in Queensland, Australia, I feel the need to clean and polish since I set eyes on the pretties on your blog. I love the girly pink best. Have a lovely Easter. Joy

Hi Jane ~
These are just what I need to do some Spring cleaning, so please throw my name into the hat for the giveaway!

Hope you have a nice Easter!!

Smiles...Bebe :)

Those are some crazy cute cleaning cloths. And I think they have given me an idea...

Hi Jane, wishing you and your family a HAPPY EASTER, and to all you'r Blog readers as well!!! And what pretty cloths, where do you find these thing's, I think we are seriously deprived of such wonderful things here in Ireland. Got my Country Living Magazine today (Yes Binny I will be getting you one and posting it to you next week, I did promise you), and have been drooling over it. Why isn't my home like those in the magazine - may keep dreaming, eh! once again HAPPY EASTER! And thanks as always for a wonderful blog makes the day's worthwhile.

very pretty cleaning cloths! hopefully i win one :)

Oh those are just to cute. What a fun way to clean.
Have a Happy Easter.
Hugs and Love

Those cloths would make cleaning so much more fun! Thank you for your wonderful blog. It is one of my favorites!

Those have to be cutest cleaning clothes I have ever seen! It would be shame to get them dirty wouldn't it?

Those are the cutest cloths EVER! Thank you for doing this fun giveaway. May you and your family have a Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter to you and your family! The cleaning cloths are very pretty. We don't have such pretty ones here in Canada! I've begun my spring cleaning already, even though it feels like winter. I love to spring clean!

I never thought I'd be vying for a cleaning cloth, but hey, I never knew I would so look forward to reading someone's blog everyday either. Easter Sunday at Salisbury Cathedral - lucky you! I know what you mean about the choir. My eyes have been known to "leak" right in the middle of a church service as well. Wishing you and yours a most joyful Easter.
Kathy

Happy Easter to you, too! And what a lovely idea just in time for those spring cleaning chores...

Happy Easter to you & family!

I never see a cleaning cloth as pretty as the pictures above.. and count me in your Easter giveaway! would love to have those in my kitchen..

Happy Easter again Jane!
