My birthday

AAhhhh I’ am 43 …oh no !!! don’t feel like thank goodness. 

I had the best day with my girls and then Ryan came home with a bunch of gerbera’s some chocolate muffins and a kinder surprise…funny boy he can be…bree also bought me some flowers and spoilt me at a craft fair we went to in Innisfail….Ash got me Adel’s latest CD,  so I had lots of phone calls and Facebook wishes and had a great day….Tonight (Sunday) my mum is taking me out to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant…can't wait !  As you can see my puppy is growing very fast,  I have taught her to sit and shake hands,  She is very smart and didn’t take long to learn.

Well that’s all for today, as my mum will be here soon, hopefully cause I ‘ am starving !!!!

New Puppy

Last Sunday we got a new puppy,  she is a German Shepherd ,  7 weeks old and beautiful….She has bought alot of happiness and laughter to our family.

We couldn’t resist  this face,  she is a very smart little dog and learning very fast…Her name is  “ Bear”…..we love her.

Sunny Summer Sunday

I love Sunday's , they are a day to do nothing if you want.  A day to sleep in, take it easy have a couple of bourbons and have a roast for dinner.  A day to potter around the garden, swim in the pool and spend time with the kids….that’s why I Love Sunday’s….these are some of my tomatoes I picked  today.  I think they will the last of the crop, time to plant some new ones.

Some op shop finds

I love this old glass cake stand and set of scales.

I have changed my style alot over the last few years…I used to be right into the real country decorating,  everything had to be a cow or chicken or pig,  and the only fabric I bought was country colours,  no floral or light coloured fabric…..I wanted to change styles with out spending to much money ,  it took me a couple of years to completely give the country things away or sell them,  I just wanted to hang on just in case I changed my mind.  So now I love everything white and vintage shabby chic….I love it,  I was able to use the furniture I had and slowly one at a time I painted each one  when I was game enough to.  Its not easy when you spend lots of time stripping paint off furniture to then go and repaint it again years later.  But they look so good and fresh and I ‘am really enjoying the transformation. I didn’t realise how much of my stuff was already suitable for this look.

I painted this little cupboard on the week end,  looks nothing like what it was.

I ‘am just loving painting and my look…..It’s a little bit addictive.
