More inspiration - so, so beautiful

I have been so lucky while blogging to come across some of the most inspirational people...Vicki Archer is one of those people...Her new book French Essence is so, so beautiful and I think you should all put it on your Christmas list if you haven't already bought it...Here are just a few images that put a smile on my face....

Inside the pages of a book - things that inspire me

Over the next few posts I am going to share with you things that inspire me. These beautiful images are from a new book called New Farmhouse Style by Terry John Woods (first printing already sold out).... I am lucky to call Terry my friend as we have chatted for several years via email about renovating and the beautiful simplicity of white that we both love ....This book will definitely be on my shopping list for all my friends for Christmas and I really hope to be able to get some in for the shop as well...Terry's home has been featured in many American magazines and is truly breath taking!!!!!!!!!!

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot

Tears of joy!!!!!!!!!!

Well I just had to share with you this beautiful post from a lovely blog called Being Ruby. I just want to thank her so much for her kind words.... She has a wonderful give-away going at the moment so drop by and have a look, I can promise you it is worth it....

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Proud - New School Captain

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....
I am so, so sorry for the lack of appearance here lately...my head is definitely on fast forward with the shop getting closer and closer.....I want to do a review on a couple of my favourite books in the next couple of days...Just need to take some photos of my favourite pages to share with you.....I must say I miss you all and I hope you get a chance to drop by and say Hi!!!! I can't wait to get a few spare minutes to go and have a look at all your beautiful blogs too.......

Sorry I have been so slack!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.....
