The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple. ~Doris Janzen Longacre

Story behind the new header ...



The's a story in everything, a spilt second of seeing something and just your imagination ... I try write stories in my other blog so if your want to pop over there your most welcome. I wish I lived in a little home just like this one.

How would you describe living in the past in this lovely cottage, the roof has faded to a dusty pink. A garden full of beautiful flowers and railing out the front. Maybe a pretty pink banksia rose climbing over a hedge at the back. Somewhere inside the smell of homemade scones being servied with a little strawberry jam and cream. I know I fell in love with this painting and had to buy it. The artist is Mrs Carmel Busfield from Sydney.




To my great supprise I found an email from Mrs Carmel Busfield Wow can you believe that! Telling me she saw her painting on my blog. First thing I thought maybe she might not be so happy about that, but then it's so pretty. So I email her back and asking if that alright with her. I am still pinching myself, what are the chances of such a lovely artist reading my blog and finding her painting there. I hope we could maybe someday meet for cup of tea and maybe share that scones, jam and cream.


Hope you enjoyed that and Hey we're all still here, Judgement Day May 21.Here's hoping you all had a lovely weekend

  2. I searched her name and you are the only one that came up with her full name on the first four pages so I guess this is how she found you. Trish

  3. Your right Trish, Her son travels overseas a lot, and he had just bought her a computer, and just for fun he typed up her name and found my blog that way. Technology is wonderful don't you think

  7. Well thanks to Mrs. Carmel Busfield and to you, Rina! I think you might be having a tea party soon and I just wish I was close enough to attend! I can almost smell the strawberries and cream right now. You are so lucky to have found this treasure of a painting!

  9. Hello,
    I am Carmel Busfield's son Peter. Thank you so much for your kind words about my mother. She doesnt paint a great deal anymore which is a shame. She has however started to sell what little paintings she has left on a website called SellSpot. Her url is https://www.sellspot.com.au/carmelbusfield-products . I have uploaded roughly 8 paintings of hers, and am in the process of uploading another 10 or so. Hope you like them. You can also contact her through that website. Regards Peter
