A Tranquil Corner

This is a place to sit and relax and let the cares slide slowly from your shoulders

A place away from the stress and pressure

of everyday life......

At least that was what I planned when I started

redisigning the room

after my daughter got married!

I thought that I would like to show you around

the special things that make it special

BUT  first of all

I wonder how many eagle eyes

noticed the rail in the ceiling and wondered.....

what on earth it was for........??!!

The week before my daughter got married

I asked hubby to put up a hook ready for.....

when we collected her wedding dress from Swansea

When we returned

that is what met our eye...

'wonderful is not the word.......!!'

I just put a throw over the chair.

The blue embroidered cushion cover is one that

I bought in Tenerife (Canary Islands)

several years ago...just because.........

The pink owl was made by one of my daughters



As you may have gathered I love blue

I feel it is so relaxing!

 

I added the set of 3 blue jugs that my mother in law left for me

On the other window sill I added some

blue glassware.

The sun shines through this window most of the day and I love the blue shades

that fill the room.

The blue glass vase I bought in a local pub which has lots of these sorts of things

The bottles are from a Welsh company

That makes natural mineral water...aren't they lovely?

The blue dish that I have included is actually for garlic bread and is made by SPODE

The bed does not have a real patchwork bedspread alas!  Perhaps one day........?

I bought the crochet throw and pillow

reduced at a local store when they were on the sale.

They were made by Cath Kidston

The picture on the right is of Dale (a local seaside resort) and painted by a local artist.

The other is a long stitch tapestry that i did several years ago



This picture is painted by an incredibly talented local Japanese artist..Goichi..

It is one of his series of Biblical characters

This one is of Deborah

I feel so fortunate to have 2 of his paintings!

Further round the room we have a blanket chest made by hubby out of wood from one of our trees

I really must get round to sorting out the 'stuff' that I've shoved inside it!!  It's so handy!

The jug has 'Burleigh Ironstone, Staffordshire, England' written under it

I bought it several years ago in a local store.

The table and coaster were, again,

made by hubby

from wood taken from trees on our farm.

My son and his wife brought this lovely bowl

back from Scotland for me

It's Campbeltown Pottery

(Near the Mull of Kintyre)

I hope that you have enjoyed the journey around this room

As you can see.........nearly every item

has a special meaning for me!

I always pray that each person who stays in this room

Finds some measure of...

Tranquility!!
