Soul Food

After wasting another hour of my life loosing the plot 

over my kids constant mess I found this image kind of funny 

and perfect.  I think I need a copy to hang in the play room.

I have been a bit slack on the blog thing lately, so much to 

do around the house and working on top of general 

domestic duties.

I forgot how inspiring reading my favourite blogs and 

discovering new ones can be.

So I will attempt to get my beautiful new house in some sort of order 

this week and start sharing some of it with you.

Going to do some creative decorating while waiting for

my new dining table to come back into stock, and for 

that winning lotto ticket to buy the rest of the furniture

that I would love to finish off the house.

Some of my favourite inspirational images.
I completely love linen

Off to take my little man to the movies to see Cars 2

He is four today.  Happy birthday Tobey xx

Rain, Rain Go Away

I know it is not a good thing to ask for it not too rain but the more it rains the longer it will take to start our house, and we are so close, very frustrating.

Keeping busy with Ruby & Belle things and waiting until I can set this up under the tree on our property, looks like the perfect setting for a girls lunch :-)

Image source unknown.

I love Bird Cages and am always on the hunt for new ones and inspiration.

Beautiful Birdcages at Butterly Tree

Tomorrow is the 2nd Butterfly Tree Markets on the Gold Coast.

I have been madly sewing to build up lots of lovely stock and have a rack full of clothes, my trade mark sweet Ruby and Belle dolls and my new range of bird cages.

These I think are my favorite so far.

Have to excuse my photography, cloudy and windy doesn't help my amiture skills.

These are in limited stock so if you would like one let me know and

I can put one aside for you.

I love the little wire flower on the side.

Here is the official blurb.

The last market was great and this one should be even better.

Bella

I don't usually post pictures of the kids on my blog, but Ruby looked so sweet in her 

dress I had to share.

It was a lovely night, and we had dinner with school friends after.

Then it was back to business as usual on Sunday.

It was a great day at Hamilton, clouds threatening a few times but stayed fine all day.

Online finds

I was on the internet yesterday looking for place card holders to display price tags on my market stall and I found these little beauties from here  

 I love the little bird baths but I ordered the little bird cages to go with my bird cage theme and couldn't resist one of these. will look lovely in one of my  decorative glass bottles in the kitchen.

They do more than just wedding things, have some lovely party supplies for kids and adults parties.

Don't forget the Butterfly Tree Markets are on this Sunday, so if anyone is down in the Gold Coast on the weekend be sure to drop in, entry is free.  Click on the link on the right of my blog for details.

Have a happy Tuesday.

A beautiful day down at Hamilton.

A sad good bye to Leasl as she leaves us for other things.  All the best, we will miss you.

Off to get ready for Mathilda's on Saturday.
