Wonderful News and a Bedroom Makeover


Wow it's been so long since I have blogged that I have  had to relearn some things!

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

My very dear son Isaac got engaged in December to the very lovely Chiara! Exciting times!
We are so proud of him and so pleased for them. It is so obvious when they are together, how very much they are in love. I just love to see them so happy!


Just wanted to share some photos of the start of our bedroom makeover.


It is the first time in years that I have loved my bedroom. I can't believe that I have waited so long to make it a cosier sanctuary....somewhere that I love to go to at the end of the day.


It all started with a new bed. I never realized just how bad our bed was until I got the new one. It is beautiful!
Just an ensemble but a plush pillow top one...it's like sleeping on a cloud. Apparently that's what I needed to cure my ever aching hip....it's like a miracle!


I have been using some of the lovely old bottles in the decorating as they always look so beautiful with fresh flowers from the garden.


So, there's still a way to go including putting up the very beautiful, white linen, Jeanne d'arc Living curtains.  I'm just waiting for John to finish blacksmithing some rods and brackets.

Now I best go and save some washing from a thunderstorm that's looming....I will put up some more photos as I get things done.

Smiles,
Angela.

Little Creatures


The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.

Okay, as you know, I sort of have a fascination with insects.

You can just imagine my delight when I found these
lovely fellows at the Melbourne Museum. 
AND, look what was hanging out on my grey plectranthus near the lichen covered almond tree. I could swear that he is from another planet. Okay, a slight exaggeration...it's a leaf/ stick insect trying very hard (and successfully) to imitate lichen on the bark of a tree. SO cool!

INSPIRATION


Erica's final major artworks for year 12- I LOVE them!
















































































We've had a lovely spring makeover in the shop this week. I love the garden feel!
Typewriter necklaces and french olive oil soap.
Our beautiful new cushions from Poland on my old miner's couch that I hold very dear to me. It was my dear Aunty Frances'who I lost last December.
