a little Autumnal posy

I was out foraging in the hedgerows by the beach today. I picked some ivy and rose hips (just a few – left the rest for the birds!). I popped them in one of my trusty Rosemarie Durr vases with one of my dahlias et voila! Here they are on a shelf in my dark and moody bedroom.

I caught up on painting a few details in my house that I have been meaning to do for ages. One that has been really annoying me is the white ceiling in my tiny hallway which I never got around to painting and it has always looked so wrong to me.

The hall now seems bigger  as without the colour junction the illusion is created that the ceiling is higher.
