I'm back.........I can't believe my last post was early December!!!! After a very busy Christmas in the shop, I had a little 2 week break.My mum very obligingly worked in the shop for me.What an angel she is.So I got to spend some quality time at home with my treasures and also got to spend some time with visiting friends and family.Lovely.

So back to the grindstone.....well it's not really a grindstone.It's always a pleasure to be surrounded by pretties!

My friend Helen will get a laugh from this pic.I have had these pretty painted ducks in the shop for a while ,but was planning to give one to Helen for Xmas and as she reads my blog,I could'nt put the duckies on the blog.So now I finally can.Are'nt they lovely.

Coming up to Christmas I had these sweet little tic tac toe sets.Hopefully I can get them again.They are little fairies and dragons.

This was an old photo,I have a new camera and tripod, so am hoping my photography skills may improve??????Maybe!!!

Well that's all for today,I promise to keep you updated from now on.

Happy blogging!

This is a photo of the wall behind my counter.A lovely Gail McCormack print,sparkly butterfly,rose garland and a bit of Christmas.Pretty dont you think?

This is on the other side of the wall.A beautiful pink chandelier.

This weekend I am starting my Christmas shopping..........I know...better late than never,I'm just not one of those organised people who can get it done through the year.I have enough trouble keeping up with birthdays he-he.What about you?

Have'nt started my Xmas shopping yet, been concentrating on the stock for the shop and hence have been crazily unpacking for weeks.

We have just got back from a weekend in Coffs Harbour.We went up for my cousins wedding and it was just beautiful.Agood time was had by all and was just the thing needed to clear the head and get ready for the silly season.

TILL NEXT TIME, SEE YA

Are'nt these trees just gorgeous.I have filled them with cystal dangly's but you could hang xmas dec's or jewellry on them.Around the base they have lovely verses.

Hope you can see them Ok they are a bit hard to photograph.These dingle dangles are all $3.95

This one is $6.95 and looks like a little chandelier.Sorry its not clearer.

And last but not least,this lovely pink wreath is a new addition.You could leave it out all year round.

Have a great day!!!

Do you like what I did to this lamp? Certainly made a plain calico shade into something special.

This is a close up of some of the pretty laces we are selling.

They start at $7 p/m up to$15 p/m

Check out these gorgeous hand painted brooches for Xmas.(click to enlarge) They retail for $14.95 and the lady who paints them said her husband thinks she's crazy for putting so much detail on them.She obviously enjoys making them.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy the company of loved ones!Cheers

Look what I've been busy doing.

The local antique centre has a little coffee shop and once a month they have a little function of about 40 people or so.And the lovely lady who runs it offered me to put some flyers in her goodie bag,but I went one step further and donated these sweet little dishes for every lady as a table gift.In return, Mary Jo gave me a rave review in her newsletter that goes out to about 400 people.

She has also offered for me to come up and speak for a few minutes about the shop before they start.Ughhhhh, I'm not good at public speaking, but will have to get over THAT phobia,quick smart!

We had a lovely time at the Business awards last week,did'nt win but was'nt expecting to.Nice chance to get all dolled up and have an enjoyable evening with my hubby!

That's all my news for now.Till next time
