Sorry, but I've had a hard time getting past the enema pot!
Love the shade, basket and flags though and of course the sweet hearts...they're beautiful :o)

Love the bunting and the tiny suitcase....not sure if I could cope with the enema pot either.
I think I would be getting flashbacks to my nursing days every time I needed a piece of string!
