Christmas Break

Well one might think I have taken my Christmas break without saying good bye!  Not the case... I have been so busy over the past 3 weeks I am well and truly ready for sleep ins, stuffing myself with food and getting some things done around the house that have been on my to do list since last Christmas!  Since opening the shop in September I have been overwhelmed with the support from my family, friends and my new lovely customers!  Some I have known for years after working in the area, others I have only just met, either way, I am so excited to continue in 2012 providing you with a place to come and be inspired, to have a chat or even to hide...

The shop is my way of being creative without boundaries,  it is a true reflection of what I love and what makes me tick.  In 2012, there will be plenty of changes, growth and more interior work to show you.  I can't thank you all enough for supporting me, encouraging me and motivating me to take the step.  Now I will continue to take more and I really hope you will pop in and see where we are up to..

I wish you all a lovely Christmas and New Year with safe travels and safe eating (keep that seafood cold!), I will see you back here January 3rd ready and rearing to go! xxx

Bloggy Christmas

Over the past few months I have found the blog world is filled with the most talented, lovely people and tonight, I will get to meet many of the bloggers I follow at Ivy and Pipers Christmas Party for QLD Bloggers.  The dress: Fabulosity.  My reaction: AHHHHH!  Since opening the shop I haven't really had time to wash my hair, let alone shop for a fabulous dress... Luckily, I spent the weekend in Sydney with one of my best friends for her birthday... We may or may not have timed the visit so we could go the the Harry Potter Exhibition, but thats an entirely different story!  So this afternoon when I finish at the shop, there will be a quick change in to something that will mildly resemble 'fabulosity' and I will be off to drink and be merry with the people who unknowingly inspire me every day...  I will take some photos to share with you tomorrow! xx

Photography 101.

Well, my photography lesson went well!  Turns out my camera is quite capable of taking lovely photos... The operator on the other hand, not so much!!!

The store has been changed around ready for the Christmas rush, the gifts are out, the decorations are up, but there are no Christmas Carols playing... I just can't do it!

I have been practising my photography and editing skills, thought I would share some lovely gifts we have in store for this Christmas.

Our Christmas this year is a beautiful Tiffany Blue and Silver

The beautiful new Breakfast sets come in 4 colours,
they are a gorgeous gift for someone who has everything!

Wrap it up...

I have been busily wrapping presents all morning for some lovely customers... I took a quick snap just to show the beautiful FREE gift wrapping we offer with your purchase!  Hope you are enjoying the weekend... It seems many people have disappeared to the Gold Coast, I am going to love my lazy Sunday at home! xxx

Jingle Bells...

This is what my desk looks like today... I am surrounded by glorious Christmas decorations, gift wrap and ribbon and the odd gift! Stay tuned for the unveiling of our Christmas windows soon, I am so excited to share the Christmas joy - even if it is only October!! xx

New Favourite Book

Jonathan Adler has long been a fav of mine. I love his style, I love his quirkyness, but most of all, I love that he isn't afraid to be himself... His new book Happy Chic Colours, has just arrived in store and is the perfect, dare I say it, Christmas gift... I know... Its only October... But Christmas is coming so fast, I think its time to start making a wish list! Whats on yours?? xx
