Happy Birthday to ME!

Then

Now!

Happy Anniversary!

Today my mum and dad are celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary - what an achievement!

Giveaway Time

Did you all have a good weekend?

I'm loving my Sundays these days with the longer daylight hours - esp since I seem to be on top of my housework!

Yesterday Ben & I took ourselves to our local antique spot

This beautiful writing box caught my eye

for this reason

Such a shame the price tag was restrictive!

We indulged in a delicious treat in the small coffee shop

It wasn't good for the diet but my were the calories worth it!

Going Green!

Today my mum, aunts and cousins went to see Shrek the Musical

My cousin and I once again got into the spirit of things with Shrek ears!

Unfortunately despite a cast with amazing voices we didn't enjoy the show and were bored!

There seemed to be a lack of storyline which seems crazy really and it was very slow moving

I'd love to know if you've seen the show and what you thought of it? 

Faux Flower Florish

I have a confession to make.... I am a murderer.... of flowers! My lovely plant purchased a few weeks ago - dead 

I'm also not the most artistic with arranging flowers and it was frustrating me because as this tip from Danielle Proud says by way of advice - flowers brighten up your home

A vase of fresh flowers or a potted floor plant will bring colour and season into your new home, instantly lifting the room and making a bright focal feature to put a smile on your face. For bright flowers for all seasons, try investing in fabric or long lasting flowers that are prolonged to look fresh for a whole season. That way you get the unique fusion of beauty and value that adds that noticeable personal touch to take you through all seasons.

Luckily we have a fabulous local florist who only sells faux flowers and has fantastic arrangements so I treated myself at the weekend to this gorgeous red display that even I won't be able to kill!!!
