Some shots from home.

I must say decorating from home has been a bit hit and miss this year as none of the family to be really into it. And i guess with me surrounded by Christmas in store when i get home....well you can guess, i tend to be a bit over the whole thing. I hate feeling like this but i guess i will get into the spirit of things soon.

Our little tree.

Our bigger tree.....with the biggest one in store, in the previous posts.

Ho Ho Ho......

Well Santa hasn't quite made it yet; but quite a few trusty little elves have been out in force. In the last few days we have been madly unpacking and resorting stock, my only hope is that i have enough. Already a lot of the small ticket items have gone as people are looking little gifts for friends or teachers, although there are still plenty of soaps and body products that everyone can use.

The string dispensers and scissors are a great gift as too is the gorgeous clock in the background.

Beautiful lamps , cushions and quilts have been popular this year.

The willow t.pees for the garden don't last long....great for growing peas or beans or a lovely clematis on.

A french style smocked dress for that warm summers evening . The store has a little bit of everything.

Christmas is upon us.

These very large 1000gm olive soap...great for all those die cooks that wash their hands every five minutes. They should last for years ....

New rugs for the beach house or home...so easy to put absolutely anywhere.

Our large rattan Christmas bells have arrived.

New shopping baskets....nice and big for supermarket or everyday bits.

Our Christmas tree nearly touches the ceiling ......take care.

Christmas Celebrations.....

This is the time of the year when we start decorating our homes and thinking more about entertaining....with friends and or family. Whether we live at opposite sides of the globe; some of us will be warming up besides a lovely open fire whilst others will be outdoors with the barbecue going. Either way its time....

These French cheese boards have been a great hit with entertaining; great for cheeses, breads dried fruit and nuts....whatever takes your fancy.

Don't forget the free wrapping for Christmas gifts in store.

More soaps arriving soon....they also make a great gift to take to someones home for a thank you for having us gift.

More marble pears are on their way...these look fantastic on the Christmas mantle with spruce or other greenery woven in between. Have a great weekend everyone and happy decorating.

Working in the garden....

Over the weekend i did some work out in the garden; some potting, fertilizing and trimming and a basic tidy up. Things are always a lot easier to keep under control if you do a little bit at a time....sometimes i let things get away and regret it down the track when i am up to my knees in weeds.

Next weekend i need to do some more pruning...now the frosts are completely gone its safe to prune my hedges. Happy gardening to all you fellow gardeners.

Dress forms at their finest.

I would love to find a dress form like the one in the above photo...dream on Amanda. I guess because i am a dress designer by trade i have always been fascinated with the vintage dress makers form, in fact anything to do with sewing.

These two beauties are simply gorgeous....yes i know you all think the same. I will post soon shots of all my new things that are shortly to arrive.
