What a dfference a day makes.....

-
This last weekend I had the pleasure of spending Sunday afternoon at my brother and sister in-law's lovely home set on 2 acres with a gorgeous view of the great "aussie bush"!.

They are off to the US today for a business trip/holiday for 4 weeks and arranged a family BBQ to catch up before they left. For those of you who know me....you will know that this also meant playtime and lots of cuddles with my cutie-pie niece before she left!

The day was one of Sydney's best winter days in ages....sun shining , not a cloud in the sky and (dare I say it) even slightly warm-ISH!!!....lol


Anyways...the BBQ was great and Charlotte and I had fun chasing bubbles around the backyard (courtesy of the bubble blower that I spotted at the store on my way over (I knew it would be fun!).


I thought I would share a few pics with you (none of CJ chasing bubbles as I was the chief bubble blower and frankly.....got far too carried away to take any pictures...lol).

Nanny and Poppy bought her this litte desk and chairs
 ...so out came the colouring in books

"clevva aren't I ??"....well I admit I did get a little help!

Next it was out to the backyard for our "barbie"

Hmmm...what will I do while we wait for daddy to cook the BBQ .....
Hmmmm....thinking!!!!

I know...lets play with the pets!!
with Bonnie the border collie....
would you believe this is CJ saying "cheese!!!!" for the camera ??
Now with Bosco the cat...

How's your day been Bosco???

Awe come on..don't chew the girly shoes....hang on that tickles!!

Mmmmm...getting a bit sunny...
no matter I'll just pop on Aunty Chris's "shades"...

A great day was had by all....a great day indeed!!!!


NOW......onto to the title of my post....

"What a difference a day makes" .....
Look at the snaps I took while driving to work yesterday....
(very naughty while driving I know....but???)

BRrrr back to the wintery weather I am afraid...lol

Foggy!....

Foggier...

Oh boy!!.....
Can you see the car ahead of me ?...

Well that's about it for me for now.......
Thanks for sharing

Till next time..........stay warm!...

I'm a bit late with this post...... but better late than never has always been my motto! Now..... the little cutie-pie pictured above I am sure you will recognise as my little neice Charlotte and ... although I am struggling to believe it.... she is one already!!!...my how time flies. This major event came to pass about a month ago..but I have only just received some lovely up to date pics from my "sis"...hence the late post! It seems like only yesterday I laid eyes on my new little "best friend"!....and that is what we are fast becoming. She is the sweetest little person I have ever met and the joy I get from my visits, her cuddles, chuckles and sloppy kisses is immense...well its practically immeasurable!!!. I just love her to bits (but I am certain you will have guessed that already...lol) Having not been blessed with kids myself I am so grateful to my sweet brother and sister-in-law (who is more like my sis) for allowing me to be so involv

Eighteen pair......and counting!!!

Regular followers of my BLOG would be aware of my passion for all things "old and prairie" and in particular my fetish for old victorian boots, about which I have written on a couple of occasions. Well.......I have been on the scout for some for a couple of my customers and happened to come across a few lovely pairs....four to be precise....however as it seems to be with everything else in my life...this was not to be without dilemma...lol The dilemma this time.....how do I sell them when they are just so perfectly prim & prairie and especially when I DON'T have a set like that in my collection??? Well the four pair quickly went down to three, then two...then one.....oops!!!..(be strong lassie and put at least one pair back)... aaaagggghhhhhh ........back to two again, but very reluctantly!!...lol I decided to keep these two pair (youno coz I truley-ruley need them) Anyways I have today popped the remaining two pair up on my Little House

  It's only taken me 4 years to get my act together ...(can't rush these things can you)...but I'm back! Lots of  life's highs and lows over the past few years... wont get into the nitty-gritty as you guys don't want to hear about that ....but for most part... my absence has been due to returning to full time work. I am loving the extra $$$ ...but sadly I've found myself very time poor. If you read back through my last post from April 2013... 😲... you will see that when I last left off I was most excited to have welcomed my new little niece (no name at that stage). I'm pleased to say that she now has a name....Sienna Rose to be exact. At first her big sister Charlotte wasn't to sure about the new addition to the fam-bam but skip to 4 years later and she is now her much loved (and I'm told very annoying) little sister. Sienna is now in fact a big sister herself to little brother Noah....he's three! (they're all just waaay to cute a
