 Hi ....long time between blogs.My laptop died before Christmas and I've been lost without it.But we are ready to go again, so here is a pic of a table I have in  my family room.My beautiful mother in law gave me a bunch of roses out of her garden....dont they look great amongst my other pretties?

This was one of my pressies from my lovely friend Helen.They have the most gorgeous scent and so so vintage.Love them!You can see a bit of the other things she gave me.But I'll leave that for next time

Sorry about these photos ....you'll have to turn your head on the side heehee I forgot to rotate them.

I also got this beautiful book from my gorgeous friend Heidi

As well as lot's of other lovelies like the scrumptious cupcakes book.I have promised to have a lovely tea party very soon as I have so much china left over from doing high tea's in the shop.

I also have'nt got around to showing you the sweetest gift my firend Cindy gave me a while back for helping her set up her shop MISTY MEMORIES in Robertson (about 20 mins drive from Mittagong)

Merry Christmas from Hume Cottage...............may you have lot's of love, happiness and health!!!

phew!

Boy has it been a crazy few weeks for me.As per last post I mentioned we were moving the shop.Well it's all done and dusted!!!

We have moved to a slightly smaller shop in the Main St of Mittagong(not too far away from where we were) So in a short space of time we had to paint,build, pack ,sort, move ,unpack all within 1 week!!!

Here are some before shots...I forgot to take one earlier, but you can see up the back that the whole shop was painted burgundy on the bottom part and a dark cream on top.It used to be a hairdressing salon and we also built a wall up the back to give me a bit more storage.

Lots and lots of painting to cover that dark colour, but already it was lightening up the shop.

View from the back looking out.A bit dark sorry!

And all moved in!!!!We utilised the counter that was left behind and it is great for display and has given me more counter space.

Will take some better photo's ...the wall my hubby built looks like part of a cottage.We used an old windoe out of our house that was taken out for the extensions, so I can do my bookwork and keep an eye on the shop.Great!!
No more tea's and coffee's though,or high tea or devonshire tea's.Not enough room and I am up near 2 coffee shops so it's not needed so much.

And view form the back.....day before we re-opened(paper still on the window).
Wil show some more next time

Hi everyone.......I normally have a day off on Wednesdays but today I am doing a sweet little mini-tea? for some lovely ladies.They decided that the High Tea was a bit too much food for them so they are coming in for a scaled down version.They will get  a yummy scone with jam and cream, a piece of orange and poppyseed cake,a melting moment biscuit and tea sandwiches.  

should be a bit of fun...will let you know!
