Inspiring Books, French Fabrics and a bit of Baking

Today I have set up a new page on my Blog featuring Books that I have come across, enjoyed, and that I think you might like too.



 I hope (ha!) to add new books to this page regularly, to keep it updated (yes, probably as updated as I've kept my Flowers page and Made page, and my BlogShop - which is hardly at all! ) with books that are inspiring me now and which may inspire you also.

The french vintage fabrics mentioned in my last post arrived this morning.


a pretty Indienne type of fabric



taupe and off white ticking



a pretty country floral



and from a different seller, and from good old England, a new piece of traditional blue ticking









This cooler, almost autumnal weather we've been having this week has seen me eager to spend a little more time in the kitchen cooking.

So far this week I've made a vegetarian Green Thai curry with brown rice (Monday), vegetable soup (Tuesday) vegetable Parmigiana (yesterday, my version of Eggplant Parmigiana inspired by yummy photos at My Farmhouse Kitchen but I didn't have any aubergines!)



and also yesterday I rather excelled myself by baking a moist Banana and Walnut Loaf
(a variation on a recipe I shared here a few months ago)



and wholemeal Irish Soda Bread




So I've now made myself hungry and I'm off to have some of that bread for lunch!


Hope you all have  a great weekend!



PS  Don't forget to enter my Giveaway (on 11th July post, Its Giveaway Time finally...) if you haven't already, as it ends this weekend (Sunday)!
