This week we have re-painted and wall-papered the store, completed a stock take and start the big job of re-decorating and unpacking boxes of new stock. We are having a day off tomorrow and planning a Day at Bangalow (Byron hinterland) and then its full steam ahead. I hope you all have a great week-end
I have never really loved heavy dark antique furniture but light timbers and painted finishes like the blue table below appeal so much more to me. I would love to use the table on my deck or under that big oak tree.
I'm a huge fan of decorating with Ginger Jars, clustered or standing with other pieces they always make a bold statement. We have ordered several different colours and designs. The green is going to work beautifully in my fashion area that we are busily revamping, the parrot book-ends are very special too!
The last few days I have had the Flu so staying in bed watching Martha and Jamie Oliver has been a rare treat fever and all! Jamie cooking at home, by the creek, his abundance of fresh herbs, his relaxed attitude to cooking. I just love the Idea of growing my herbs and vegetables in my back-yard, getting the family involved and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Jamie's garden is my inspiration all I need is lots of land and a running creek!
This post is for my friends (Marnie, Claudine and Shannon) who love high-teas, collecting beautiful vintage crockery and decorating the table for any occasion. The girl's and our partners had a fabulous Breakfast on Sunday overlooking the bay enjoying our new found friendships which I know will last a lifetime. Thank you M for such a beautiful quote, I will always remember xxx
Its been a crazy week of mixed emotions and I can't thank Vicki Archer (French Essence) enough for posting such a heartfelt message that was so beautiful to read and very true in every way. I often blog late at night and in the morning look at my blog and cringe at my bad grammar only to be told off by my daughters who love checking up on me. I really need to wear my glasses! I hope you all have a wonderful week-end. xx
I really don't expect any comments on my blog because you are going to think I have lost my marbles! Well it goes like this, I went to my computer and did my afternoon ritual of sitting behind my blog and went to visit ABT blog, its handy Anna being A because she is on top of the list and then I remembered. I then got up and walked away and then sat down again, husband is laughing because I couldn't help sneaking a peak... walked away again, I can live without my blog, I keep telling myself, I need to get a life!!! Well it's like alcohol you just can't go cold turkey. My plan after so many calls, lovely comments, emails and gorgeous customers encouraging me to continue and I will but at a slower pace and a little more lily-g focused. I may not get to make so many comments but at least I can share my inspiration, dreams and loves.
