Last of the summer wine...

Hello my lovelies,

Sorry I have not posted in so long I have been very busy with enjoying the summer sun. The summer has been a long warm one for me here at Hand Made towers which I have enjoyed very very much. Life is plodding along very comfortably as we move properly to Autumn, I have many joys and feel very lucky indeed. I practice counting my blessings very often as I think it keeps you young and happy.

Autumn leaves down by the mud flats along the Thames River

Now the leaves are turning over and the sun light hits us from a low angle, the clocks have changed and the nights are longer. Soon will be the time for fireworks and cosy blankets on knees with hot chocolate to drink and marshmallows to toast. I take great please in welcoming season changes.



Take care
Love Clara x

Doors...

Hello my lovelies, 

How are you? 

I have been fascinated by doors for quite some time. Where do they lead? Is it better through there? 
I admire the colours and features like letterboxes and knockers.

A gorgeous pale blue door with lace and roses

I am in love with all these doors which are fairly local to where I live. The church doors are from a church from 1894 and they are weather beaten and in need of some water proofing but I adore the paleness of the wood in this condition. The white door is from a small bungalow that still has its original stain glass windows and gorgeous original features. The blue door pulled at my heart strings due to the lace and roses each side of it and the features of it rather than the colour. I just think it is so quaint and charming. Please feel free to pin these images and check out my other favourite doors at:
