Wonderful week

Available at my ebay store (above)

Have had a lovely time these last few days.

Went on a huge buying trip with a dear friend for her birthday and found mountains of treasures. Spent the day pouring through Antiques and goodies, jumping with excitement over wonderful finds, enjoying a lovely lunch, creating a few laybys (lay aways) and discussing the realities of women and friendships both true friends and false. You can find some of my friends treasures for sale here

Have kept a few treasures for myself, I think this is my favourite, a petit point footstool

Goes nicely with my favourite blue boudoir chair. Also found a few other lovelies that I have kept, will add photos later as it gets dark a lot earlier there these days so have to be quick to get good photos!

Had a wonderful mothers day, the girls made me some hand made books which I love and will treasure always. Then I was taken out to a Yarra Valley winery to taste the local produce.

I also finally got my beautiful bed with the wrap around sides and applique to head and end AND queen anne feet. I absolutely love it and was going to paint it white or french grey to match my wardrobe and dresser but have decided that the dark wood is amazing so am going to leave as is for now. Personally I feel that painting everything white can be a bit of a mistake sometimes as dark wood can be so beautiful (just a personal opinion about my own stuff!!).

The bed is very high, much higher than my last cast iron one, so have placed an antique prayer stool down one side so the girls can climb up easily.

Have added a few other treasures to my ebay store, I do have to share after all!!
