Well my little girl got tonsillitis again last Friday and is still very sick....She has so much on at the moment(awards night tomorrow night where she needs to speak) I feel so sorry for her !!! I just wanted to share with you these photos which are part of her major art work for the end of the year.....I think they are truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well this week has been an emotional roller coaster.... Over the last month or so Kirstie has been in the process of becoming school captain for 2010. I know I am biased but she is an amazing young girl and this week all her dreams come true she became school captain and to make it even better 3 of her dear, dear friends will make up a team of 2 girls and 2 boys....She is a little scared but also so excited.... What a wonderful exciting last year of school she has ahead of her....
Well my friends it just feels like so long since I have been here so I must apologise. So much going on and then school break which was so nice to have the kids home. Anyway we are getting pretty close to the shop being opened now and in one of my mad idea moments I decided it would be cool to have Kirstie's sleigh bed in the shop as a display for our gorgeous Petit Coterie cushions which just arrived from the US from dear sweet Michelle... So Kirstie and I went shopping and we fell in love with this bed...I so wish I could get better photos of her room but the light is really hard in there but this will give you an idea....She chose basically everything herself...She has lovely taste.....Hope you like it......Drop by and say hi I would love to hear from you all.....
Well I loved looking back through photos tonight....He was such a cutie...He is now nearly 5 ft 10 inches tall and he turns 13 tomorrow...He was always my cuddly boy and the one who would always talk to anyone when he was tiny...He would make friends with strangers in the park and was such an easy baby.....Loved information books from when he was little and would throw all the hardest questions at us on road trips..... He had a D and M about girls with me this morning - Wow he is growing up so fast....Love you my sweet boy Happy 13th Birthday!!!!!!!
Well this week I had a bit of a decent clean up of my bedroom as I know in about 6 weeks from now there isn't going to be many spare moments while we get settled into the new shop..... So I thought I would share a few photos....Our old club lounge that we got recovered with beautiful raw linen. My powder blue iron bed....and some of my charms that have tarnished a little tied to a sweet little pillow that my friend made sitting on an old ironstone plate on my dressing table.....
Well I was just sitting here thinking of all these ideas for the shop as I do most mornings lately so I thought it would be a cool idea to give away the lastest gorgeous Spring Issue of Country Style (the cover is very pretty and colourful)... Ok all you have to do to be in the draw is to tell me words or short sayings they inspire you....A dear friend Andy used this one the other night when in conversation with me on facebook about our kids "embrace the butterflies". I am going to use it on a new charm.....Apparently it was a quote from a movie!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear what inspires everyone else......
Well as you can imagine (and I have told you on numerous occasions before) I often need to have a decent clean up in my little studio room...It is a tiny little sun room at the end of our house were I play all day and all night!!!! Sometimes I have clippings of paper from one end of the room to the other so last night I cleaned up properly (well sort of) and it felt much nicer to walk in here this morning!!!!!!!!! Here are just a few photos I took...I think they came out pretty nice... I must tell you that the gorgeous ear rings in the first photo were made by my dearest friend Paige and I am keeping them to wear on the first day our shop opens because I so wish she was here to share it with me.....
