Gardens...... weeds or flowers.
Well, I say gardens are to be enjoyed so plant what you enjoy seeing grow there.
The base of my page is quite messy and was a lot of fun in its creating.
Brusho powders, napkins and random stamping for the base.
Next some scraps of Graphic 45 papers, die cut flowers, and yes..... more stamps
I will share this with the folk at
where Rike's theme is,,,
The colour yellow
Bleubeard and Elizabeths
where each Tuesday we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post
My drinks related reference today is these two photos ...
My new apron advertising tea, a gift from my OH.
The early morning pot of tea waiting to be enjoyed and the toaster ready for the bread when I put the camera down and get round to putting it in.
The weather has been kind recently here with some sunny days, so at the weekend we decided to visit one of the National Trust Houses not to far from us...
Seaton Delaval Hall
that is having a lot of restoration work done on it.
This costs a lot of money , but we can see much progress from last year.. It reopened to the public on Saturday and it was good to see that many visitors went to see how things had progressed'
Maybe you can I guess I like old buildings , bricks and stonework.
This willow in its bare state made me think of Harry Potters Whomping willow tree,
fancy having one of those outside your home.
Thank you for calling in to see me , I hope you have a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteNational Trust Houses / Properties are always a good place to visit.
All the best Jan
I love old buildings too-so nice to see this one being restored.
ReplyDeleteI am really loving your latest art pages with the yellows-really special
awesome tea pot!!
Happy T Hugs Kathy
I feel really dumb asking this-but where is this located? what country? I went to the site and couldn't figure that out lol thanks
DeleteHi Kathy. This is one of the National Trust properties not to far from where I live ... the county is Northumberland and it is the in very north of England, and borders with Scotland.
DeleteHope this helps.
Yvonne xx
oh thanks so much for letting me know-the home has an interesting history too
DeleteYour journal page is lovely, so friendly and sunny. Love your new apron, you will look very smart with it. That's a magnificent house you visited, thanks for sharing the photos. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour artwork looks lovely. And I like that toaster at the ready, behind the teapot. Seaton Deleval Hall is beautiful. Great old architecture. And I like those sunlight shining in photos. Thank you for sharing your photos. The tree looks nice too.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say: Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, Yvonne. I love what you said: "Gardens are to be enjoyed. So plant what you enjoy seeing grow there."
ReplyDeleteNice toaster (grin).
It amazes me that some of those mansions are called Trust "Houses." It's all relative. Today people want smaller and smaller homes.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Yummo post with the cuppa and all that brightness, like my new blog hey...love this.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page- love those die cuts too! How I love these old buildings and am so happy when they can be preserved and restored. They are true gems. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flower pages with wonderful colours to brighten any day.
ReplyDeleteAn unusual apron to receive as a gift and great tea pot with the bikes. We have one stage of the tour de Yorkshire coming to us again this year
Love the photographs of the wonderful place you visited
Have a good T day
Love Chrissie xx
A beautiful spring flower page Yvonne with lots of lovely details and fabulous photos from your visit. I love old castles and buildings too. Hope your week is going well xxx
ReplyDeleteI was in awe of your amazing journal page. I wish I'd had those die cuts a couple of weeks ago. I love their delicate look, too. You are so good about sharing your art with us at Art Journal Journey. I'm in love with this spread and it makes me believe spring may be on its way, but not this month for us.
ReplyDeleteI like your new apron. I never wear one, but I might that one (grin). I love that teapot. Fun bicycle motifs.
That's a beautiful old home and I'm delighted they are restoring it. Here in the states, they want to tear everything down and build something new. One question. Do you have to pay to visit the Natl Trust Houses? Do you buy yearly tickets? Guess that was two questions.
Thanks for sharing your trip to Seaton Delaval Hall, your new apron, and your tea with us for T this Tuesday, as well as your incredible art you shared at AJJ.
the garden page with all its layers is awesome! love the die cut flowers.
ReplyDeletehappy t-day!
I love your wonderful page dear Yvonne ! So beautiful ! Thank you very much for joining us again at AJJ - your support is fantastic! The new apron and the tea pot - both looks super stylish as does your fab toaster! I would love to have a breakfst with you just now...lol! Happy T-Day! Thank you for the impressions of this amazing National Trust House- wow!!!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Susi
Your garden page is just stunning - I am in LOVE with it and with your sentence about a garden! You chose the colours so well fitting perfect to yellow!
ReplyDeleteFunny teapot with bicycles!
I too like old buildings and trees - your photos are gorgeous!
Thank you for linking to AJJ, I appreciate it!
Rike xx
I love your journal page! I love wild flowers so they certainly have a place in our caravan garden! Seaton Delaval Hall looks interesting - I had never heard of it! Love the Teapot - a souvenir of the tour? Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteA wonderful journal page and your photos
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page! The background that you created looks amazing and I like the pop of yellow from the die cuts too 😁. The National Trust property is magnificent, I bet it could tell us a few tales if it could speak ...lol 😉. Thanks for your comments on my blog and yes you are right they make the beer in the metal vessels behind us in the photo. It's funny, America doesn't tend to have many pubs like we do, you go to the actual brewery which has a tap room or bar attached to have a pint of beer instead. It's such fun to see where they make it though and also sample the beer! Happy T Day wishes! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteYour teapot with the bicycles on it put a smile on my face this morning :) I'm always gad to see people devoted to restoring and caring for historic sites. It must be fascinating to b able to visit a place that old and see improvement in its condition since you were there last. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely colourful page. I just love that die cut flower.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting NT property. I will have a look online to learn more about it. Also the sign 'Step into the drama' intrigued me.
What a fun teapot with the bicycles!
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
That is my type of page....love it! and all the photos!!! Nothing like old architecture.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day
Your page looks very Spring-y. Cute apron and teapot. It's so nice that beautiful, old homes and buildings can be restored. And yes, that tree looks like the whomping willow. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is gorgeous with all that paint! I love the flowers that you added.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous old building. That willow is stunning and yes it looks a lot like the whomping willow.
How fun to have an apron that advertises tea!
Happy Tea Day,
