My little boy turns 13 tomorrow

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!!!!!!!

a little spring cleaning

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.....

Not a exactly a competition!!!!!!!!

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......

Cleaning up and playing around!!!!

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.....
