this year i decided to be incredibly organised and buy all my christmas presents before lucas was born. incase he didn't like shopping centers, prams and car seats. I ended up gettting lots from etsy, ah handmade, such joy. stores like sugarloop and roundabout . we will be popping in a little christmas treat into all our brown packages. So jump onto the website if you so desire.
introducing Lucas Tate. the warm little bundle now filling my days with joy. who knew i could feel like this, such an intense love that makes everything else seem insignificant. such beauty. the most creative thing. life. 'all that has ever charmed my eyes is but the poorest reflection of your infinite beauty'. i am blessed.
Finally we have counted, assembled and boxed all our new things....I'm especially in love with the butterfly notepads-ahh the springtime. I gave a pad to one of my nieces- she ran off to her bedroom and covered her pink wall in butterflies. she knows how to make my day, that and practicing ballet with her two sisters make for sweet moments. anyway, anyway everything is now available on our website and will be in stores over the next few weeks. yay for new things.
two pregnant poppies, a whole lot of lollies and new things = the melbourne trade show.
all our new things are up on the website but not available for purchase until mid august. we hope you enjoy their brightness! thought I'd share a few snaps of us setting up and how the stand turned out. Our yellow paper strings turned out a treat- If you'd like to make your own all you need is a pack of doilies, spray paint and ribbon. we cut ours in half (big mistake- as they we're tricky to attach to the ribbon) I think folding them in half and hanging them over the ribbon would work better! I imagine them looking rather lovely in a little girls room.
right, time for tea.

we have a tiny bundle of our notebooks left, if you'd like to get your hands on one of the last 20 simply spend over $50 on our website and we'll send one your way.
We are back from our little adventure. we had two days of summer weather- such a delight. I had forgotten how green england is,
so leafy and thick, that beautiful deep green. No tired trees worn by this drought of ours. Oh how I long for weeks of rain to kiss our earth back to what I remember it as. I've popped a few holiday pics up. My brother in law said I looked so special in my purple coat that he couldn't walk next to me. I hope you enjoy it, I had matching boots ( thanks to my in-laws who never throw anything out- they have everything you'll ever need) There is a photo of my dear johnny and I, a little pathway, a few cows we met on our walk and the hill I huffed and puffed up. xx
dear johnny and I are off to visit family for three glorious weeks. this little snap was sent to me by my mother-in-law just the other day. they live in a little village in Yorkshire, I plan on laying a big blanket under those trees, and staying there for hours with my thermos of tea, what joy.
