A lovely glass of Cava, a bit of deeply dark coffee chocolate, a pile of Country Living magazines and some folders. I'm sorting out my magazines, finding all the inspirational pages and filing them so that I can find them easily. The rest can then be recycled and I get a bit more space in my house.
Oh yes, I know how to live, Friday night, hey rock and roll!
lol. Sounds like quite a nice Friday evening actually! I fell asleep half way through Terminator 2..... rock 'n roll here too!
ReplyDeleteSounds absolutely perfect! Why save it just for Friadys? Mary
ReplyDeleteOoops that should be Fridays - and I haven't had the Cava?!?!
ReplyDeletePretty much my idea of a perfect night too!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! btw mind if I add you to my links?
ReplyDeleteYes that is a well spent evening indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI must say the last time I attempted that bit of organization with my mags it went like this...assemble supplies, page through, ideas tumble out of mag onto my lap and the next thing I know I am covered in fabric and threads and I only got through one mag!!! Sheesh adult ADD?
i had the weirdest dream about you last night.....
ReplyDeletechocolate and wine is my kind of Friday! Spent mine looking after poorly husband and sewing ... Thanks for lovely comments, again.

Donna, if you want to be a tasseled burlesque girl, please be mine. I love swatting at those butt tassels.
ReplyDeletemeow.
I often spen the evening with cuttings from magazines - only mine are recipes from the Sainsbury's magazine and other magazines...I start with the intention of filing them, but then it all gets too much for me and loads of loose bits of cuttings just end up all over the floor and i have to just shove them back in the cupboard the next day.
ReplyDeleteI bet yours was much more organised Dons! How far did you get?
Crickey... sounds lovely but I never do it I am usually comatosed on the sofa.. However I need to do it as we're having work done on our house and I need a kitchen plan..
ReplyDeleteI did really well and tore out lots of pages. I have yet to file them but that won't take long. I was surprised at how few pages I wanted in the end!
ReplyDeletePod, I know that's you, you anonymous scamp ;-p
Oh and Lettuce, what was this dream?!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like my type of night! x
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect. I am very jealous of your thrifty finds.....that little jug is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteWill email you shortly Dons with update on blog and house and stuff.....
Promise.
I'm very impressed that you can be so darn ORGANISED, even after a couple of glasses of wine and munching on chocolate too!
ReplyDeleteThat Pod's a devil isn't he!!
i feel unable to answer your rather provocative question over here for fear of further demonisation!! it seems that ex-scmuckie has it in for me......
ReplyDelete;0p
I always find it very hard to cut out things from my favorite magazines, mostly I store them intact and reuse them every year in the right season. But they need a lot of space, your method is more effective.
ReplyDeleteI also love dark coffee chocolate.
Hi Donna I feel like I haven't visited for ages and missed out on some posts that deserve a comment.
ReplyDeleteFirstly I was just wanting to add something to the Cath Kidston bit.
A lot of old fabrics through history have been copied by quite a few designers, there is nothing wrong in giving something a new lease of life.
But with reference to Cath Kidston - look what she tried to do to Green Gate. It's like there was one rule for her and one rule for others.
By the way I love the friday night in entertainment ... but don't get me started on Country Living either. Oh dear woe is me.
best wishes Ginny
Sounds like a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I prefer the liquid part of it, though. The rest sounds like work.
ReplyDeletedarn! i should have written it all down immediately, its rather a blur now. It was something about me posting pics of your family on my blog - without asking your permission - in some rather dramatic/traumatic context. Very strange....
ReplyDeletesounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteeek! I could never, ever take scissors to my piles of magazines...though I admire the thought! In fact I am often rescuing them from recycling bins...;)
