Gorgeous gifts & other pretties...

Hello to all my wonderful blogging friends out there!!

Firstly, I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read my little blog... I really do appreciate each and every one of your lovely comments!

I wanted to share with you the lovely gifts that Natasha gave to me when she visited a couple of weeks ago. She knows how much I love vintage dresses and brought with her this gorgeous vintage wedding dress for my mannequin (Coco) to wear. I just love it on her!!


The lace detailing in this dress is amazing! And of course no outfit is complete without some vintage rhinestone bling....for that extra bit of sparkle!!

Natasha also gave me some of her lovely new Christmas decorations that she has made using real silver glitter. They are amazing! I had to fight the kids for these...they think they are getting to keep one each (I have news for them!)

She also made this great glittery sign for Mitchell too (sorry the pics don't really show the detail). He absolutely loves it!

Now onto other exciting news....well probably not so exciting for most people. But I was very excited when the rose bush that we planted a few months ago started getting lots of buds and flowering beautifully! I can't wait until the stems are big enough to put them into vases around the house. Such a pretty shade of pink!

I think I might need to get myself a bud vase for in the meantime. I saw the perfect little pink vase at the local market this morning...might have to go back and get it!

I have been busy this week making a few things. I finished these pillows yesterday...I love these fabrics!

And another thing that I really enjoyed making was this vintage bunny pincushion. I found the bunny at an op-shop (looking all sad and alone), so I just had to bring her home with me! I think she was originally meant to be an egg cup, but I decided to turn her into a pincushion.


I LOVE the way she turned out!! I added the rhinestones, vintage flower and the ric rac just to jazz her up even more. She is so sweet...I think I am forming another addiction (vintage bunnies!)

Well, that's all from me for now. We are going away for the weekend to the Gold Coast, where we will catch up with Natasha and her family. It's been so long since I have seen her (a whole 2 weeks!)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will talk to you again soon.
