Well that’s the last of the bank holidays over with for this year… summer is beginning to come to an end with the evenings getting darker earlier. I don’t really want to say it but *in a whispered voice* I’m kind of looking forward to winter! I love the summer, it’s my favourite season, but […]
On my birthday last week I ran a special offer on my Facebook page Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics (where you’ll always find plenty of offers, prizes and giveaways!), all orders placed on my birthday would receive a special treat: one of my handmade ceramic magnets, a brooch AND a card! I was overwhelmed by the response […]
I was a little delayed in publishing this post!….. Just before Christmas I spent a wonderful few days in Germany and got full swing into the festive spirit with the delicious smells from the Christmas markets, yummy German speciality food and even saw some snow.

What a lovely day it has been today! The sun has been shining all day long, we’ve had the patio doors open and have had some washing drying on the line. It’s a lovely feeling knowing spring is on the way. I can’t wait for the full warmer, longer days when we can sit outside […]

I can’t wait to see the bulbs emerging from the ground, the leaves on the trees starting to grow bright and green, and the sound of newborn lambs in fields everywhere. There is a nearby dairy farm that we visit every year during lambing season, its always exciting to see if we can spot any […]
You will probably look at these photos and think I’m a greedy pig. And if you do, you are right!! I love food and trying out new combinations. My recent favourite was this bowl of nacho’s covered in salsa, chunks of chicken, red kidney beans, and topped with grated cheese. I microwaved it all for […]
It made my day today when I found out I had been given a blog award, and that someone else had chosen my Folksy Shop as their favourite in an interview. The interview is over at NiftyKnits blog, where she interviewed Chicita of Gimme That Thing. When Chicita was asked to choose her favourite Folksy […]
I’ve enjoyed looking back on my blog to see what progress I’ve made over the past year. It will be interesting to see what 2010 brings. In my last post I mentioned an ambitious new years resolution. It’s something I’ve always thought about doing since I was at uni, but I was put off but […]
