plus some special gathered feathers and

 with some poppy seed pods gathered together

to create a pot pouri of natural neutrals.

Hello dear friends - 

Here we are again for

 Simply Neutrals Tuesday No. 16

and as I have been busy stacking and packing in my studio

I thought I would share some of these pics for you.

 

 

 

Such beautiful patina, patterns and textures!

 

 

 

Now who doesn't love tarnished silverware?

 

 

 

especially when it is combined with silk ribbon

and vintage lace!!! 

 

 

 

with the odd bit of wood of the cotton reels!

Changes to Blogger's Google Friend Connect

Blogger has made some big changes to

 how we follow blogs

so read on to see

if these new rules will affect you!

We announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of the plan starting the week of Jan.11th, 2016 we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.

Now we will have to wait and see how it will affect

us and our followers

as of 11th January, 2016 

 

I'm  currently working on a new

Vintage Bird Journal

recently commissioned so I will be able to share

this with you soon!

Have a lovely weekend one and all 

and 

thank you to my new Followers

and to everyone who has left me a comment on my last post!

Thank you so very much!
