Bits and bobs + Happy Weekend!

Posted on December 7, 2012

parents roses If last week has hectic, this week has been just as crazy in the aftermath of last weekend’s wedding festivities. Things haven’t exactly quietened down, what with all thirty or so relatives from abroad (aged 7 to 83) descending upon our cosy little abode for dinner one night! However, we have had time to smell the proverbial and not-so-proverbial roses as well as gorge ourselves on the best fruit that summer has to offer…Can’t complain!

2. Roses and pompoms make the perfect combination in their backyard.

3 & 4. The bean bushes have certainly been amongst the most successful of our vegie plants!

5. A rare moment of quiet to myself. Calm before the storm I tell ya…

6 & 7. One of the reasons I love summer…And no these did not come from our garden – but hopefully someday they will! (Chance of this happening? Around 2%…)

Have a lovely weekend everyone! Be good! Anyone done their Christmas shopping yet?

A bunting we will go…

Posted on November 5, 2012

We recently hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Rani. My OTHER sister-in-law, Rachel, made this sweet bunting. So gorgeous! So talented!

Here’s the lovely lady herself.

She’s promised (read “been coerced”) to do a “how-to” guest post about her bunting in the near future – so keep your eyes peeled!

I thought I’d share a few more snaps from that sunny day! Yummy food, happy ladies, and of course – cucumber sandwiches, without which no high tea would be complete. See if you can spot the beautiful Rani dressed in red below. Baby Gabrielle has since been born, both mum and bub are doing well – and yes, photos are forthcoming :).
