Feeling Better

Hi everyone!

Hope you have all been well. I am sorry it's been a while since I last spoke to you, but we have all had the flu here and are just getting over it now. Seems like everyone around here has it at the moment!! Not much fun at all!

Well, anyway I am finally starting to feel human again and so thought I would post some pics of a few different things.

First up is the lovely package that I received from Holly last week. I was lucky enough to be partnered with her for Natasha's Matchbox swap!

Lots of gorgeous goodies...aren't they just beautiful! Love the little ballerinas, the tiny paper flowers, the white glittery doves ~ everything! She not only filled a matchbox but also a sweet nutcup that she had decorated too. Just too wonderful ~ thanks Holly!

My daughter Sarah is only 5 and already she is appreciating everything pretty and pink. When she got home from school that day she tried to claim everything as hers! Here she is with her favourites picked out.

Another gorgeous thing that I want to share with you is my vintage mannequin. I have been searching for one of these for years now and they have always been too expensive or not able to be posted. So I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this beauty sitting alone in one of our local St Vinnie's. I practically ran over to it (nearly taking out an old man in the process) and then wouldn't let it out of my grip. We all know that when op-shopping or marketing...never take your hands off something that you really want (or else someone could steal it from under your nose!) It had no price on it, so I casually asked the man behind the counter what the price was. I nearly passed out when he told me $10!!!! Yes, I know...bargain of the century!!! So needless to say I was a very happy camper after that.

I am still trying to decide on the perfect outfit for her, but at present she is wearing this lovely vintage ivory number with a shawl that I made. And also featuring some of my favourite vintage pink rhinestone necklaces. She's lovely, isn't she?? What do you think I should name her?

And finally, I just wanted to share with you a pic of some cute teddies that my Mum and I dressed and donated to our local Church for their annual fete. Mum did the knitting and I did the rest. It really was lots of fun! Thanks so much for all of your lovely comments and kindness. This blogging world really is a special place and who knew there were so many sweet ladies out there!!
