theres nothing quite like arriving home after a full on day at work (still paying for not being open on the public holiday) and being greeted by one very happy and excited little poppet cause mama is home. playing pretend on the surfboard in the lounge room, drawing with pen at the big table, catching bubbles and then sitting down to homemade lasagne. my day got one hell of a lot better. hope you had a lovely friday and you and yours have a fabulous weekend xo

the best kind

a lot like love

i just love this movie. i can watch it over and over again ive lost count how many times i have done. i know its just a movie but it reminds me to believe in fate. 

made me smile

i'd like to say a big thank you to jade from holigoddess and jessi from mad stitches for managing to cheer me up. i was a bit miffed the other day when i saw yet another post about scoring a fabulous holly hobbie op shop find (i somehow always manage to miss them) so i had a little sook. jade spoke to jessi and lo and behold this little bundle of joy arrived in my mail box today. thank you so much jade for thinking of me and asking jessi and a big thank you to jessi for happy mailing me some vintage holly hobbie fabric, a holly hobbie applique and a beautiful mad stitches bobby pin. it has been a pretty crappy day today and you have made me smile with such an amazing beautiful gesture. THANK YOU! xo

love in strange places

we walked to miss poppets 12 month check up today. yes i know she's 14 months but hey, the nurse is very popular and mama's just disorganized. anyway along the way we sighted some random love.

- a tree out the front of a church

and here are some other's love in strange places

m & b's wedding

yesterday's wedding was beautiful, as i've said before i love wedding's i always tear up and love how romantic they are. but when its a close friend im not such a sook yes i get teary but mostly my heart just swells with happiness and love for the bride and groom, they have found each other which in turn means they are happy. and isn't that want we all want for our friends and loved ones, is for them to be happy.

it was my friends hens dinner last night and it was lovely, her maid of honor (another beautiful friend) put on a seafood fiesta for us all and it was divine. thank goodness the bride isn't a big drinker as her wedding is today. so this afternoon we are off to tanglewood estate to celebrate her marriage. i can not wait i love weddings. i'm hoping to take some pictures to share the day with you all. well i had better go start getting ready. have a great weekend whatever your up to!

HAPPY valentines day

just married

ha... no not me. i went to take a peek at a family friends wedding today. the bride looked beautiful and the ceremony was lovely. from my experience with weddings, other peoples of course, i have never been to one that didn't make me tear up, that didn't make my heart ache with the romanticism of the whole thing. by making a declaration of love, to the one you love in front of your loved ones. oh they truly are such beautiful occasions and i am a sucker for romance!
