Girls Get Together

 

 

 

This weekend I am having a girls' get together. 

With everyone's busy schedules we haven't spent quality time together for quite some time so I am going to host a bit of afternoon tea for my best friend's birthday. I will fill the house with spring blossom, serve scented herbal teas in dainty china teacups and treat them all with some gorgeous, sugary confections. I'll make up petite sandwiches and tiny tartlettes to serve up with a glass of champagne or two. I can't guarantee there will be lovely sunny weather but I can guarantee plenty of laughter, chit chat and gossip!

Fuchsia Pink

 

 

I am loving this pop of vintage brights
to get me in the mood for Spring.
It's great inspiration for a bit of spring cleaning,
freshening up the house and
picking up a bunch of bright pink flowers from the market!

Butterfly Magic

 

Spring is a big entertaining season for me - with lots of parties and fun events to look forward to ~ so I am always on the look out for clever ideas and pretty inspiration. This gorgeous white, romantic butterfly theme would make for a perfect spring party in the garden.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

 

 

After a crazy week at work I have been dreaming of some well deserved 'Me Time'. Just a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon where I can sit quietly under a big shady tree on my lawn enjoying the filtered sunlight whilst sipping a cup of tea. I'll flick through the Sunday Papers, read a chapter or two of my neglected novel and catch up on the latest Vogue and Elle Decoration. Hopefully the kids, dogs, my lovely husband and neighbor's lawn mower will leave me alone in peace just long enough for me to re-gain my sanity!

Welcome Spring

Springtime Pastels

I am so happy and excited that it's the first day of Spring today.

I am looking foward to having spring flowers blooming in the garden

long walks and picnics in the park

entertaining outside and lunches alfresco

warmer temperatures and longer days

freshening up the house with a good Spring clean

packing away my winter wardrobe 

and bringing out my Spring favourites!

Design Inspiration

  

A Passion for Design

Strange as it may seem....

over the past few years I have collected ribbons, buttons, coloured paper,

invitations, magazine clippings, books on fashion and interior design.

I make scrapbooks, my own artwork and homemade cards.

All of these creative little hobbies are good for the soul!

What's your hobby?
