Margaret's Home and Garden...

Whew!!! What a whirlwind of a week it's been... I ended up taking transport for 2 school trips last week, spent 2 days visiting gardens, Saturday I had my applique class, Sunday was church and today we picked up a new additon to our zoo(more about that next post). My home and family are feeling a wee bit neglected!
My favourite part of the week though had to be visiting Margarets home and garden. I met Margaret in a quilting group I used to belong to a few years ago 'The Quirky Quilters' it was so nice to catch up with her again. We spent literally hours at her home and enjoyed every minute! The garden itself was predominantly a seaside garden until you got around the back. She has what I would call a potager garden, herbs galore, veges etc.
The Quirky Quilters had put on there own quilt show with crafts and quilts for sale as well. They also provided their own cafe in the American Style barn.  I had the most delicious lunch, spinach, feta and kumera scones and a cup of pumpkin soup both for only $2. Then...  we got to look through her home.  Wow!!! Now I did take my camera but I didn't take many photos as I was too busy being inspired!  A friend has taken some so I hope to get some more from her. So enough of my dribble...

The scullery...

I have finally managed to upload some photos as you can see and I still have lots to post about so stay tuned...
