Time Flies.........

Thought I would do a quick blog post! I will actually be away over the weekend with three of my closest friends, off to a cabin out country, cant wait! These are real friends, not the type who start up a yahoo group just to be nasty about people they pretend to be friends with (sorry but it still hurts and learning curve or not it doesnt take the sting out of it especially as most of them were too gutless to make a heartfelt apology or obviously didnt give a shite anyway or were too busy throwing counter accusations to see clearly what a truely hurtful, nasty, incredibly immature and crappy thing they did).
But sorry I digress, this is going to be a lovely weekend to kick back and relax with real people who actually care about you, support you in good times and bad, are thrilled with the achievements you have made in life and also we will get to do a bit of antiquing too yay! So wont be able to answer any emails till I get back which will be weird not having a computer for a few days :0)




Just dont know where the time goes these days, to say I am "time poor" is an understatement! Just did a big post out of ebay parcels this morning though so am catching up. Of course having a cold doesnt help either but at least its not swine flu!!


Look what my husband brought home for me the other day as he knows I've been unwell for a bit. Cheered me up no end :0) I adore lillies and the climate and soil is perfect for them up here plus a friend of hubbys has a lillium farm just down the road so I am determined to fill the garden up with them as soon as I can.



Of course I still managed to find a few more treasures during the week, its gotta take more than a bad cold to stop me lol! In my ebay store if you are interested...


Who can resiste a vintage pink "frou frou" hat. Have you ever seen so many pink millinary flowers??

You hardly ever find these old celluliod vanity boxes in Australia and this one is just divine with all the gold scrolls and cherubs



Chalkware Crinoline Lady, just SO PRETTY!

And a matching pair of Italian crystal candleholders....
As usual I would love to keep everything myself but am being strong and can be found at my ebay store if you would like them for your own home!
And look what I found on the side of the road this week, out with the trash (I cant believe what people throw out) ~ A Victorian Sea grass chair in white and pink. I think it looks lovely near our front door!

Hi Alicia,
Glad to see you back. I hope you are well & truly on the mend from not being well.

I am just about to head over & check out your ebay auctions, you are just too good for not keeping any of those beautiful finds. That had is amazing.
Catch you soon,

Hi Alicia,

Oh yes, a catch up would be lovely! I'm up for it for sure, just let me know when.

Your hubby is a keeper...beautiful flowers! I hope you have a wonderful time away with your friends and bring back lots of treasures to share with us.

Get well soon :)

Hope you enjoy your well earned break Alicia. Nothing like a girls weekend away to brighten ones spirits. Lots of vitamin C for you girlfriend to chase away that bug.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne

Hi Alicia
A weekend away with the girlies sounds just the medicine you need!

You have some lovely treasures up for offer - that chair you found on the side of the road is GORGEOUS!

Enjoy your weekend - don't forget the camera

I love, love, LOVE lillies. I love lillies. Have I said I love lillies?

Sorry you are still feeling hurt. A colleague at work said to me on Friday "When are you going on one of those shabby girl's weekends you used to talk about? I am so jealous of your wonderful weekends with good friends" I didn't have the heart to tell her that these so called 'good friends' were not even able to apologise to my face (or phone, or email) yet still go about their day.

Perhaps in their worlds, it's OK to do that type of thing to others.

Guess what world? That type of behaviour is what got the world in such a sad state of affairs today. How would you feel if someone did that to your kids?

Happy lillies and a happy weekend to you, Miss Alicia, you deserve it. xx

Hi Alicia
I am feeling a wee bit better so I thought I would leave my 1st ever comment for you.
You are a Lovely Lady and a great friend to me, and believe me life is to short to worry about other people that carnt see the light.
Life is short and we only have one so keep that heart of yours open and happy because that is the Alicia I love and calla friend.
Glad to hear you had time out as you need it even just to look at the stars at night is a blessing.
Gosh starting to sound a bit of a peot HA HA.
My days up and down not out of bed much now, Daryl loves it as it saves him money little does he know. LOL
Love to you and your family
Keep on keeping on like I do
Lots of Love from your friend Lynda
