Tuesdays thoughts - My friend Kimberly Taylor's {auction for africa} and a pretty little collage....

Blessed are we that people try and make a difference every day.... My friend Kimberly Taylor is heading to Africa with her incredibly inspirational mum in three weeks to open a  children's home...  You can read more about this beautiful story here.  Kimberly is holding an auction on her blog for the next 2 days to raise much needed funds....You can find the auction HERE.  When my beautiful hazel eyed boy heard about this incredible story he wanted to help too so he has made hundred's of macaroons to raise money and will be sending these ladies over  $600....so if a Sixteen year old can do it the least we can do is go and bid on these gorgeous items.... {I have a bid on the cute little girls dress}

 I also wanted to thank all my facebook friends for all the sweet comments about the collages I do each morning....  There is so much beauty on pinterest {plus a few of my own photos here and there}I love sharing with you all ....

Wednesday thoughts.... New books, Coming Soon and a year ago today....

My hazel eyed girl was one of those girls at high school that just didn't fit the mold.  She struggled with friendships but in saying that she was also blessed to have some gorgeous girls in her life and Ali was surely one of them....I was so happy to spend the morning with Ali last Friday as she is working on a design project for me...In her second year of graphic design at uni and just back from 6 months in the US she is a delight and I can't wait to see what she comes up with ......

One of the collages I shared on facebook from beautiful pinterest images. 

Lots of new magazines on there way, beautiful new twines and of course a couple of the new Jeanne Oliver bags that we all know and love :)  in STORE

Do you believe it is 6 months today since her beautiful wedding day and a year since she got engaged...  This is such a special photo for me...  Four of the most marvellous people in my life....  Our beautiful friends the Eriksens were hosting my hazel eyed girl and the blue eyed boy when the blue eyed boy popped the big question... and then they flew from Victoria to be here on my hazel eyed girls big day.... Such a special day !!!!!!

I am just about to read this gorgeous inspiring book and I also have a few copies left in my store....

Coming in September this gorgeous new book from Nina Hartman called  Among Vintage and Friends....If you would like to pre-order a copy please email me.....

My beautiful hazel eyed boy sat his first ever uni exam yesterday (he is just doing one external subject while he is still at school)....23 pages in 2 hours and he was beyond exhausted....He will be so glad when this week is over at school as QCS practice and another German exam yet to come.  Lots of deadlines to meet over the next month or so but I am up for the very exciting challenge....  Take care my friends and I hope you all  have a beautiful week....

Tuesday thoughts - my hazel eyed ones, new stock coming and a little pretty winter inspiration....

I am very blessed to live the dream of having a business at home, being able to source what I love and share them with you.  My web site changes all the time so drop by often and see what I have in STORE.

I have had some gorgeous comments from friends on facebook about my collages and I must say for me they are just a joy to wake up in the morning and make for you all :)

As always it is a very hectic time for them both...My hazel eyed girl just finished 3 weeks of prac and has 3 assignments to finish before next Monday but then she can take a breather thankfully with 4 weeks off and she is heading to the coast for a week with her blue eyed boy ....My hazel eyed boy has just finished 3 exams in the last 2 days and has a lot more assessment for the next week and a half .... To think this photo was nearly 5 years ago when  andrew was preparing to go to high school and in just a few months his high school life will be all over....It all happens so very fast...
