Fresh flowers and blue sky

What a difference fresh flowers and blue sky make! 

Even if it is cold, the sun is shining,
the sky is a bright winters blue,

and we have fresh flowers on the table to make us smile. 

It's a happy Monday!

It's a Rainy Friday...

and we're all a bit under the weather. 
I'm feeling a little like this butterfly. 

Anyone else?

Sale in full swing

Etsy and madeit are both in full sale mode - I have grouped the 5x5's into sets, and they are going out the door at ridiculous prices! Still to be added is sets of 4x4's, and I am also going to be adding to the sale....photo blocks! But with the blocks, once I have sold out, I will not be adding more (until I reopen Etsy in New Zealand), so if you have had your eye on something, best you get in quick!

Also, to celebrate reaching 400 'likers' on Facebook, I am running a giveaway of a cotton tote bag (winner ot pick the design, I have a few in stock, like The Resting Place, The Minolta, Rainbow Swings and more...) and some extra goodies.  Open to all Facebook 'likers', just leave a comment under the giveaway post by end of day Sunday 27th June.

All of my excess stock must go before the shops close.  If you see under the 'sold' section a set of photos that you would like but isn't in the shop, send me a message and I will see if I can add them back in for you.

Thanks for all of the support, it has been totally, incredibly, overwhelming. 

Sarah's Full Page Feature

I love sharing in a friends excitement, and can't imagine what could be as exciting as a newspaper feature....so when I heard that my lovely friend Sarah, who is a talented photographer, crafter, and author of the blog Faith, Hope and a whole lotta Love was featured in the Herald Sun on Saturday, of course I had to race to have a look.  And it was a FULL PAGE spread!!!  Go Sarah, I share your excitement, and say yah for you!  Very well deserved, and might I add this is not the first time Sarah has been featured, but the second, as the first was a little while ago for her amazing dolls house. 

I am sure this won't be the last feature in print for my wonderfully talented friend!

Girlfriends

Seeing these girls in the city over the weekend made me really miss my best girlfriends. 
Soon.  So soon.

Little steps

Our little guy is walking.  It is amazing to watch, from the first shuffles forward, to suddenly tottering from one side of the room to the other...it feels like a huge transition phase, no longer do we have a baby in the house.  It feels good.  I love their faces in these polaroids (managed to track down a few packs!), walking side by side, big protective sister, and the little boy who just wants to do exactly what his older sister does - and looks so proud of himself. 

Happy Friday to you...I plan on wandering the city this weekend and soaking up Melbourne...what are your plans?

Sale

As things tick along (movers booked -check, flights booked - check..), and we have final dates in sight, I am having a huge sale in both madeit and Etsy...a lot of over stocked items, and some are just marked down because I am feeling the love.  I have more to add over the next few days (including a whole stack of few 4x4" prints). So I hope you enjoy, and for all those madeit shoppers, please remember this store will be closing for good mid July!
