Hello Friends.

Before I began my painting kitchen cabinets, I made this Mother of pearl vintage buttons heart.
A vintage vase with snowdrops and Hellebores from the garden.
I had a lot of Hellebores but with this last Summer very hot weather a lot of them died despite the constant watering.

 Here is one of my favorite!

Today, last day of sun, tomorrow
 it will be grey and rainy, but we need  rain ☔️ we are in Normandy !
I painted half of the cabinets ( the lower part is done) 
Today the top ones must be done. I hope to finish by the end of the week.
Tomorrow  I will have a rest and have my hair cut
😮‍💨 
« Spring cleaning! »  I love books about granny’s recipes.
Cleaning, washing and cooking I had these books for many years, but I always find new tips in them.
They are up to date with the ecological movement nowadays.
The real « Savon de Marseille » is very useful in Spring cleaning! This is the real one, the real recipe.

I remember using this  carpet beater to clean the carpets  and take the dust off. We also cleaned the copper pans
And the ought to be very shiny!

I have already cleaned the windows, took the spider webs off the beams ( all the time!)
I will have the carpets cleaned, but later in Spring.
Did you start your Spring cleaning yet?

  2. i do my "heavy" cleaning during the winter, always, a little at a time. while i am home much more during the winter, it makes sense to do it then. i don't want to be stuck inside when it is nice outside.

    your craft creations are beautiful!!

  3. I don't do spring cleaning. We do some house cleaning every week. Deep cleaning happens once in a while when there is a reason.

  4. I love your heart! Everything you make is always so pretty.
    I don't do Spring cleaning, just have a schedule for cleaning. However, I've been cleaning and purging and organizing for a few months.

  5. Those books look so interesting. I've read about savon de Marseille, and it is available by mail order here. Do you use it for everything?
    This week I cleaned the doors of the kitchen cabinets, but I'm not going to do much spring cleaning because in a few weeks the kitchen will be torn apart and made ready for the new one.
    The mother of pearl button heart is so pretty!
