Every Silver Lining...

has a cloud!


I know they can sometimes have ominous connotations but for me there is nothing nicer than a sunny blue sky littered with lovely white clouds. They look so comforting, like you could just curl up and have a little rest in them. So today...

let's look at clouds of the fluffy, friendly variety!

Clouds can be pretty and porcelain -

Whichever way you look at them, I think that there is some "cloudy" goodness for everybody - I hope you found this guide to Nephology most useful!

  3. It's pretty isn't it? Your rainy morning sounds perfect! We haven't really had any rain here in Sydney for weeks!

    Thanks Kena! Me too - I am really smitten with the cloud factory. I have book marked it for another time when the budget permits some shopping!

    Happy Monday to you and talk soon,

  5. I agree - I love how they add character to your day. Portland has the gray blanket verity at the moment, which isn't as lovely as your example. Thanks for reminding me about the silver lining.

    I love the cloud pillows, I would love to curl up there.
