The Art of Pottering About
Saturday morning is one of my favourite times to cruise through my home..pottering about.
I adore rearranging, sorting, plumping up cushions, flower arranging, admiring my surroundings and snapping photos.
I can spend an incredible amount of time pottering about my home and seeing the beauty in everyday things. Even a glance through a window screen from our upper storey to the blue sky and towering trees.
Might be classed as wasting time to some folk but I argue it is good for the soul.
Enjoy your weekend and spend time just pottering about, you will benefit .. I promise.

Screens are common in Australia for keeping out flies, mosquitoes, birds, snakes, lizards, spiders, beetles and any other pesky fauna which would like to invade a household.

Hi Annie, lovely photos, and your house is so architecturally interesting. I love pottering about my place too; have been away a few days and it is lovely to be back here doing much the same thing as you! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia, yes this house is fairly unique I think.
DeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.
I don't understand people who don't think this is normal......
I have lost whole days to this activity ;o)

You and me both Tania, it's nothing for the whole day to fly by!
DeleteHi Annie, I have spent most of the day pottering around. I do my best pottering in my dressing gown.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking I was the only one who works best in my pink dressing gown!
DeleteI'm another one who does that, all the while dreading that somebody will ring the doorbell !
DeletePottering about is one of the best ways to relax, I find! And your home is full of pretty things, so you should enjoy it when you can.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I truly love about pottering Sulky...the relaxation.
DeleteAmen to that Annie!

I am all for pottering around the house. Who wants to spend time rushing around everywhere and missing it all? I just love looking outside and watching the tree leaves become more yellow, orange, red. The best is when there's pops of red amongst the yellow leaves .... it's like I'm monitoring the progress of autumn! lol
ReplyDeleteI love a good pottering about, especially in the garden with some bits of 'rustic charm'.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful home to potter around in, no wonder you enjoy it so much.

A girl after my own heart. I love this post Annie. You have described what I love doing most. I love pottering around the house and puffing up the cushions and re arranging my books and vases. I dont re arrange my furniture. I like it where it is.. but i change my magazines and now and again add another flower or rose.. You are so right.. Its food for the Soul.. Its calming and comforting.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great Sunday Annie,

I like a good potter, particularly when nobody else is home.

I am definitely looking forward to pottering about this weekend! I have had a looooong week so it will be great to just relax a little bit. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect way to spend a leisurely day!

Nothing like a bit of pottering. It's always funny what little corner or pockets of home are the ones that appeal most to us. There's an outlook through one window of our lounge that I just love, because it features a beautiful tree with mountains in the background. Everytime I try and photograph it though I notice the massive power lines in the way! I just don't see them when I look out there myself.
