It's beginning to feel a "bit" like christmas....

-
Hello all my wonderful blog friends...if you are still all there...lol...coz it sure has been a while! Life just has a way of getting too busy doesn't it? Menial things like work and responsibilities (hee hee)have a habit of getting in the way of doing what we really want to do dont they?

Oh well, as Ned (Kelly that is) said - "such is life...."

I am pleased to say that (apart from getting anything else done that I am supposed to) I have managed to make a start on my christmas decorating.

It is Sunday morning, hubby was having a well earned sleep in, so I  thought this would be a great time to share some pics with you...

Please allow me to show you around my now "somewhat Christmassy" home....I hope you like enjoy the tour...

As you walk in the front door....welcome!
 

a short stroll down the hall and into the kitchen
...a closer look 


..just a hint of holly and a plum pud
on the old metters stove

...what's christmas without a ginger or two!

Now lets toddle on into the back family room...
I have decorated this room mostly with snowmen. I dont know why but I think the blue and cream tones of this room lend themselves to a few cool snowies!

Snowie tree in an old suitcase topped with an antique tophat
I just love this tree...

In the nook of the dresser...


Snowies everywhere!!!
These three stand on top of my set of huge old Dayton scales

                                            

....more of the little beggers!
         
 ...and more

...hanging out in an old timber meatsafe

...and for a bit of bling

and finally some cool snowies hang out on  a twig tree
that stands in an old wooden pram base
 

Now lets take a wander on into the front loungeroom.
This room is a bit more Santa and red and green themed.....
main tree with handmade ornies...
A Santa themed gathering
(soory about the "t" in santa....it took a t for tumble!!!...lol)

...and finally into the spare bedroom
a simple twig tree with some snowie ornies

and a gathering on and beside an old chair
Well that's it for the decorating piccies. I still have a bit more that I could show you but will leave it at that for now as you probably have picture overload... but I will leave you with a couple of pics of some more Christmas decorating I have been up to...
...this time they're of goodies for my upcoming market next weekend. (Saturday 8th- Richmond Showground )
...hope to see you there!

Until next time.... Chris x

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... šŸ˜²... 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...
