Sunday Lovelies

School holidays are here again! I'm looking forward to the change of pace...and the very exciting trip away we have planned in a couple of weeks!! (Hint, hint).

1) Vintage napkins, hand-embroidered

2) Wild child

3) Morning sunshine (and my table needs an oil)

4) Someone is writing her own name

5) I made sourdough pancakes with Herman!

6) This discovery could be a very dangerous one.

Have a lovely week!

Spring! I've taken the turn of the calendar very seriously, sitting here, as I am now, in a T-shirt. Luckily, the weather is obliging, with a glorious show of blue skies and sunshine. It seems my Winter is... project was just the 'break' I needed to get back in the swing, so I'm starting here today with my old friend, the Sunday Lovelies. It's a truth as old as the hills - nothing is more affirming than seeking out little pockets of beauty, even if all else is a whirlwind of chaos.

1) Go, baby girl, go!

2) These beauties lasted two entire weeks.

3) New supplies for my craft-loving monkeys. We are keeping the sticky tape and glue industries afloat, I'm sure.

4) I don't know how there could possibly be this many blooms in the garden given the quantity that make their way inside as little presents for mummy.

5) My three. I wish this photo had audio.

I have much to share in the coming weeks and months - I just hope my renewed enthusiasm is matched with a few spare moments here and there to get it all down on the screen.

Wishing you all a lovely week x

It has been a busy, but steady, transition into this new school routine. Here's a smattering of lovely from the last week of term:

1) Jupiter Girl and her sister.

2) Autumn at last.

3) First game of soccer, and she got the first goal plus another for good measure.

4) Pearl's manicure doesn't get in the way of all that baking.

5) My Stella is forever picking posies, and she carries them wherever she goes.

6) I bought myself a little treat from Christina's shop. People comment on it every time I wear it.

7) My baby out with her baby.

We are out and about this week with some school holiday trips and lots of visiting with friends. I'm hoping for slower, sunshine-filled days. Wishing you all a lovely week x

1) "Higher, Mumma."

2) I found a solitary bloom in the garden this week on the 5th anniversary of my mum's death. She was a bit partial to a pretty rose.

3) When it happens, my bruschetta is going to be so worth it (and so small).

4) Three Chubby Pixie hats winging their way to Portugal.

5) Oh, hello, autumn. I hadn't noticed you there.

6) It was a big hill, and she didn't want any help.

Wishing you a lovely, lovely week x

Sunday (Show) Lovelies

 A busy weekend - two birthday parties on Saturday, and today the show. 

(Those pigs were for sale. I was tempted.)

A sample of lovely from a wet and droopy week:

1) A trip to the general store. We needed eggs.

2) Heavy with the rain.

3) There are suddenly a lot of lunches to pack.

4) Agapanthus in reflection.

5) They had a big fight over who got which umbrella.

6) Pretty something-or-others hanging in a tree.

7) Something's missing.

Wishing you all a lovely week.

Another week down, a big week indeed. Here's what was most lovely:

1) Our school is within walking/scooting distance. Hooray!

2) Morning sunshine in the garden.

3) Late afternoon picnic right before the storm.

4) Sneak peek at a new colour (I'll be updating the shop in the next few days).

5) Grow, babies, grow. My home-grown bruschetta's last hope...

6) Tiny pastry chefs.

Counting down to the end of summer holidays, the first day of kindergarten, a very, very big year ahead for all of us...

1) Big feet, little feet.

2) A very special trip to the city, just me and my girl.

3) Ohhhh... I finally spent last year's birthday gift voucher. Ohhh...

4) I wish she'd play this independently during the day. She sets up the best games ever - right on bedtime!

5) Apple pickin'. A little early but we had to beat the birds.

Hoping all sorts of loveliness comes your way this week. I'll be taking lots of deep breaths. Lots.
