Today I decided to post about what we put on our walls. Yes I do have a few standard type pictures but also have a few "odd things " to decorate the walls. I love this embroidered tea cosy, egg cosy and tray cloth. It was a very cheap buy in Lady Heyes ( Craft and antique centre in Cheshire) several years ago. Didn't really know what to do with it so put it on bathroom wall. Bathroom mostly white so need some colour to relieve white.

Our bedroom wall with little embroidered bits. The old frayed ones were found when clearing out my mother-in-laws sewing box. The one in the centre is beautiful silk embroidery found in an old copy of Shakespeare given to me by an aunt when I was at school. The sampler was bought in France some years ago. I have to own up that the lower 2 on the left. They are cross stitches done by me in another lifetime. Embroidery is not a strong point with me.

We both love all things nautical. This was a birthday card given to husband. It lives in our study.

Old mirrors abound. How difficult is it to take pictures of mirrors.

Beach hut postcards again purchased in France. Also live in the study with the boat curtains from Ikea.

Another study pic. Another card now framed.

This is my favourite. It hangs in the long stairwell. This was painted by my uncle and I think is inspired by my sister and brothers on the beach in Devon when we were children. He gave it to us as a wedding present. When I first picked up a copy of the Shellseekers you can imagine what I thought.

And finally this sits on the wall in our shower room. I would love a beach hut but I think I would need to live nearer the sea. I can dream though can't I ? Whats life without a few dreams on your walls?
