Next Thursday a photographer and stylist from a national magazine are coming to photograph the house.
It will be the first time that the house, rather than the garden, has been photographed and it has made me realise how many things we put off finishing.
2 years ago I bought these zinc stencils for Euan - a rather typical example of my present giving as I had fallen in love with them and couldn't justify just buying them for ME.
Since the big space has been finished we have been intending to put them up on a wall above the dresser but haven't been able to decide what to spell out
for there isn't a full alphabet
and I am very bad at anagrams and crosswords
So I thought I would throw it open to you -
We have B C E H I J K L M N P Q R S U V W X Y Z AND &
As you can see I am quite happy to use the & as an A and to upend the P to make a d Needs must. But we only have one of each and I want to use the stencils as the lettering rather than stencil the wall.
What words do you think we should make?
A packet of Alphabet postcards to the one we use!
Be calm, sip wine & relax
More of a mantra really, it is Friday after all.
