I judge you for stealing flowers.

Buckets and buckets of flowers is the best way to dress and decorate any home. Flowers can make any house come alive. I am one of these people who picks flowers anywhere I go. From my neighbors to my place of work. I can't help myself. Confession I am a flower stealer and you can judge me I don't really mind.

I'll help Katherine out...

A few months ago now I woke up to a text from my sister who was overly and uncharacteristically excited that Kate Middletown and Prince William had announced their engagement. So begins the discussion about the type of dress "Katherine" will be wearing. So in order to help her out I have chosen just a few of my favourites for her to pick from. You're welcome Katie!
Now I know some of these dresses probably will not suit the Abbey but this alone raises the question. Do we consider the location or venue of the big day when choosing  the dress?

Stella + Dot

There are a couple of things I do when I need to freshen up my look. The first is always a brow shape and the second is a piece of jewellery. The latter are both alternatives to going out and buying something regrettable in that moment of despair aka "I have nothing to wear". I found this gorgeous company Stella + Dot, there website is just brimming with all manner of colourful accessories. Have a look at their website http://home.stelladot.com/. You can buy on line and there are some real gems with your name on it...excuse the pun!

holidays

Home from camping and in typical camping style it rained and then it rained some more, which probably wasn't too bad as it conditioned us to stay indoors and watch the few DVD'S I brought along with us. Anyhow, the exciting news is now I am on 2 weeks holidays! and I plan to do the following (you've got to keep me accountable to the following)
-sleep lots
- sand down some old furniture and repaint
- read at least one classic book
-write a letter to at least one friend I haven't seen in six months and finally drink lots of tea because whilst on camp I discovered again how wonderful Mildura tea can be.

read these books!

I am not going to explain the intricate details of why you should read these books but I will say very boldly that you will simply be changed by them. The characters in these texts will invade your thoughts and cause you to look at people, life from a different point of view.

I hate camping

It's that time of year again and I have to go camping. I hate camping. I hate that I SEE dirt in between my toes, have to shower with thongs on and that I am likely to be kept awake considering what that very unusual sound is coming out of the never, never. Now before you judge me I am not a princess nor spoilt, I just like the sanitized feeling of a hotel over a camp site. Woe is me.

happy birthday to my love

Happy birthday to the one I love. I love being married to you. Love that you make me laugh so much sometimes a little bit of wee comes out!

a cup of tea for me and jillian

It's my friend Jillian's birthday and to celebrate we're having high tea at the observatory. I am looking forward to the miniature caramel slices and cucumber sandwiches although despite the celebrations it will be a tad sad because my friend is leaving our little town, we call home, to call an even smaller town home.
It shouldn't have come as a surprise, considering we had been chatting about the possibility of her moving for some time now but when she told me I cried and cried all the way home (that's not metaphoric I actually did cry the entire drive home). I'll miss you jilly but new adventures await you!
