This is ....

... the space in which I would like to post pictures for this week's theme from Lino Forest, 'My Best Op Shop Find'. Unfortunately our house is being replastered and painted this week, and I don't know where I put my camera's USB cable in all the frantic packing. Boo!

My camera is also hoarding some pics of the pretty apron I received from Shawnee in the July 4 Flirty Apron Swap. I love the apron but unfortunately the pictures will have to wait a little bit longer for their blog debut.

For now I'll post these pics of gorgeous ceramics by Aida Dirse, found via Dear Ada. I totally agree with Dear Ada in her appraisal: "Such happy patterns, happy palettes, extra happy forms and finishes. And now happy me."
