No posts here this past week but there have been a few firsts
on our other blogs:

For the first time we took part in Today's Flowers which is such a nice idea that we think we'll make it a regular post at Renaissance Little Green Notebook

Another first was the rather ludicrous photograph of one of our Silkie Bantams at The Chicken Daily and talking of firsts our eldest son exhibited some of his photographs in a gallery for the first time. There is a photograph of his photographs on the website http://www.renaissanceshop.co.uk/ in the What we are doing section.

Whilst we are on the subject of photographs isn't the one above adorable?
It's of Charles the baby red squirrel who fell from his nest.

Red squirrels aren't the only wildlife in need of a little help so we were pleased to be able to use the Renaissance Newsletter to help promote a WDCS Walk for Whales in nearby Hunstanton.

Over at Renaissance Vintage Notebook we seem to have spent quite a lot of time at the V & A looking at vintage inspired quilt fabrics and enthusing about the Grace Kelly exhibition.

We're always on the look out for beautiful ways to display vintage books, we are vintage book sellers afterall, and we found a rather lovely photograph whilst blog hopping which of course lead to the discovery of lots of new, to us, blogs

Maybe you'll find the time to visit them?

Happy Easter (& a weekly roundup)



It's been a busy week getting ready for the Easter hols at Renaissance HQwith little being uploaded to the website http://www.renaissanceshop.co.uk/.


It didn't start well with the news of Elspeth Thompson's death, so sad.


But we've had a reminder of new life with our quail starting to lay again, very seasonal.


We went all Eastery here at Renaissance Childrens Notebook with Easter Gift Bags,



And all wistful over at Renaissance Vintage Notebook with a sort of if we had a real bricks & mortar shop we'd stock:



And now of course it's April ,we had to mark April Fool's Day with a little joke or two,

and Easter is upon us.


We'll be spending it together, the whole family is home this weekend, bliss.


Wishing you all a very happy Easter.
