Garden Fun

Hello Curious Readers!

It is Easter weekend and it has been very busy here at Curious HQ. From painting the walls (The Boy) to doing some gardening (me), we have been spending the weekend practicing what we preach and doing some most needed DIY!

While he was painting, I have been moving and re planting herbs and while I was doing it I was thinking, I have a "wishlist" of items that I want for my home but no pretty pieces of decor for the garden! That is what inspires this post, what would I want to put in my garden if I had the spare funds at the moment? Why do I not spend the same amount of cash on my garden that I do on my home interiors?

So here is my ten piece wishlist of what I want for my garden to make the task of maintaining it more fun and to make it more beautiful, with the all important links so you can buy it for yourselves!

Alice in Wonderland Teapot Planter
Amaonas Aruba Cayenne Hammock
Antique Three Tiered Garden Shelf
Spotty BirdHouse
Wooden Garden Croquet Set
English Rose Garden Secateurs
Pink Bunny Rabbit Watering Can
Union Jack and Rose Doormat
Blossom Outdoor Fairy Lights
Vintage Style Garden Bunting

All items are from Amazon, dotcomgiftshop or Bombay Duck. Possibly my three most favourite places on the internet to buy home furnishings!

If you buy any then please send me an email to show it in use in your home, I would love to have a reader showcase, showing your beautiful homes, DIY creations or recipes!

Until we meet again, Happy Easter and happy DIY!

Grab-A-Button and Be Curious!

Hello Curious Readers,

For all my future followers, here is the grab button for Curiouser and Curiouser, I hope you will add it to the sidebar of your blogs or websites and mention me here.

For someone not very techy, I am definitely learning how to use html and CSS coding and I am actually quite proud of this, I may reward myself with a cookie later. I have posted it here however it is also in my sidebar for you to find.

I have to thank the people at shabbyblogs.com, Mommy's Idea and The Graphics Fairy, either the images themselves came from the sites or the tutorial did! Either way, all three sites are a verifiable goldmine of information!

Vintage Stylings Free from Shabby Blogs

Hey Curious Readers! Before this blog really kicks off there is one site I have to thank for making this blog look the way it does. Shabbyblogs.com is an amazing resource for vintage style blog loveliness, from headers to buttons to page dividers, they do everything you could possibly want to add some glamour and wonder to your blog. 

The amazing thing about Shabbyblogs.com  is that everything available is free which is excellent for people like me who are starting out in the blogosphere, so please take a look at their site which I have linked here and also remember to check out their actual blog (link on the side) as they often add designs and other gorgeous vintage couture that do not appear on the site. They also have tutorials for those like me who are less in the know when it comes to website/blog design and will answer any questions you may have.

They have not asked me to discuss them on my blog, I am doing it out of sheer respect for the site so hopefully you will see just how much I love them!

Please feel free to comment and come back, lots of things to be adding later to improve content!
