Farie days

My Baby turned 4 last week.

Time flys

I must have been suffering from 3.30 itis as I just went to type and looked under my computer desk for the foot pedal?? WT!...............Anyhow....Today is a little bit exciting as I received my first 'professional' labels. Not that I don't love my hand written ones, but it's very very cool to be 'playing shops' for real now hehe. I ordered them from THIS shop, as I couldn't seem to find anyone here?
So it's the start of the school holidays, I feel like I'm repeating myself constantly already!Whipping up goodies for the Easter market in Foxton this weekend, Fleur turns 4 on Thursday and then roll on Mr Easter bunny. Hmmmmm............... tomorrow I will wake with tonnes of energy, motivation & enthusiasm.... Make B-day cake, organize crafty kiddy Easter things....yeah...I am ...honest!

Wish me luck on any of the above....All I really want is a hotty, feather duvet, pikelets with cream and a cuppa xox Or maybe some of this yummy banana & carrot cake? I'll post he recipe tomorrow.

P.S: Best movie EVER! -The hedgehogA must must see for lovers of French film & all round arty goodness

inspiration

A visit to the library found me this book

It's a crafty book but not so much a 'project' book

which I like as it inspires and allows you be more creative.

The pics are beautiful.

Even though, obviously my camera is bung

hence the half/cropped shots!

The post fairy

The postie came today

In my letter box I found...My rates (sigh)......

.....Imogen's IRD number.......

a mysterious envelope containing seeds from the lovely Cindy

(whoop whoop)

&

A lovely parcel of fabric delights

From the all inspiring Mel at tiny happy

My debit card is becoming dangerous

It wants me to buy lots of things from Etsy

Now for a little excitement in my weekend...

We all love our favourite blogs

We visit them often...sometimes more often than our own family (!!!)

So when we went for a little road trip to the french country fair this weekend

I got to meet the gorgeous Janelle from heart felt I love her blog to bits so I was a little 'star stuck' that I was talking away in person

Their stall was full of vintage lovelies...I could have curled up and gone to sleep amongst the paisley xo

I bought this little beauty hat for Ginny to grow into...

& this stunning ceramic broach made by Stephanie Cahorel

(drool drool)

Now no more spending....I'm off to sell a kidney & pay the rates.

And the winner is.......................................

Widge!

The great reveal

I have finally taken some shots of the studio to share with you all, It was such a beautiful morning....

You have to excuse my dodgy pics, I 'may have' dropped the camera on Friday and broken the LCD, hence I have no idea what my pics look like till I've downloaded them...a bit like the good old days really!

alas hope you enjoy a little glimpse into my new favourite place....
