Amanda's Diary: Ooops. Oh dear...
http://decorativecountryliving.blogspot.com/2014/01/ooops-oh-dear.html
Tuesday, 14 January 2014. Is it really that long since I posted on here! My New Year's resolution is to pay more attention to my blog, get fit, take better photographs and get less parking tickets. Fortunately, the lovely Monsiuer le P is a whizz with a camera and took the pictures of these frankly knee tremblingly gorgeous chairs. If someone doesn't buy them soon, they may have to come home with me. 14 January 2014 at 14:59. You are right Amanda.the chairs are GORGEOUS! 14 January 2014 at 15:04.

Amanda's Diary: August 2013
http://decorativecountryliving.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 August 2013. The date for our next open weekend? There's all kind of shenanigans going on in the village over the same weekend as it's Arnham weekend. This is an annual gala that takes place to commemorate links with the village and 216 Signal Squadron of the Air Assault Brigade who were stationed nearby during WWII and planned the battle for the bridges at Arnham, Holland from our very own village of Caythorpe. On Sunday morning there is a parade by veterans and serving soldiers. Which was a...

Amanda's Diary: May 2014

Tuesday, 6 May 2014. Our first open weekend of the year? Open weekends are a huge amount of work. Mainly because I make such a mess everywhere, so setting them up is a major task. This one has been brought to you by the power of tea, almonds and The Archers. I'm hooked. Where on earth is TOM? Do come if you can. Annie will be here on the Friday, so expect loud laughter and some inappropriate language. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Places I like to visit. Secrets of a Butterfly. Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.

Amanda's Diary: October 2013
http://decorativecountryliving.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 October 2013. Frenzied tidying, dusting and mop and bucket action at Knox Towers last week. The windows shone, the cushions were plumped, the candles twinkled and every cupboard had a warning to open slowly and stand well back in case of landslides. This preceded a visit from quite lovely people at Country Living Magazine. The day itself was perfect. The sun shone, we drank tea, gossiped and laughed a lot. Oh, and Charlie took some pictures too. I pretended that the children always. I also me...

Amanda's Diary: November 2014
http://decorativecountryliving.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 November 2014. That it's December next week? Whilst I haven't actually done very much yet in terms of preparations.OK, I admit, all I have. Done is buy three bags of chocolate balls in the shape of brussel sprouts for the children's stockings, but I have thought about things A LOT. I have decided to go all soft and neutral with the decorations. I love our parchment coloured paper balls and hand-cut paper stars. Don't know what all the fuss is about. Monday, 3 November 2014. There's always m...

Wednesday, 13 November 2013. 10 for sheer dedication from two of my oldest, loveliest customers Andrew and Jane. They'd said they were determined to be the first customers on the first day of our open weekend, and at bang on 10 o'clock I heard a commotion outside and saw this. After that it was full steam ahead for a super busy weekend. There was lots of sparkle, lots of tissue filled carrier bags and an awful lot of laughing. There were gorgeous roses on the counter and a gorgeous wreath on the door.

Amanda's Diary: Do you remember...
http://decorativecountryliving.blogspot.com/2014/03/do-you-remember.html
Tuesday, 4 March 2014. Back in October, I talked of much tidying of bedrooms and buffing of surfaces going on at Knox Towers? Well the result is for all to see in the latest issue of Country Living magazine about to hit the shelves soon. I hardly recognise the place without its usual smattering of lounging teenagers on every sofa, vast carpet of discarded shoes in the hallway and soggy towels on the bedroom/bathroom floors. So it's nice to have a record of how it could look in a life without teenagers.
