vintage delight!


Step away from the window... Sometimes a girl needs to remind herself that there are bills to be paid.
"Vintage Delight" is located at 448 King Street, Newtown.

Ding Ding Ding!

It's Friday! Time to unwind and kick up our feet! We have no real plans this weekend and I can say I am happy about that. It's been a slightly stressful week at work and I'm ready to relax and spend time with the hub. Though we don't have a three day weekend like many I'm still thankful to have two full days of being a home-body.

Enjoy your weekend!



This week I'm grateful for... hope


The chips were down this week, no doubt about it. It makes me even more determined to be grateful for the things I have.

This week I'm grateful for...

1. Hope - That spark of light that never gives up, never accepts defeat, never goes out.

Share some hope with a softie if you can...


2. Community - We rally. When things are rough, the human spirit really begins to shine. We work tirelessly into the night to help those around us, we give up a treasure in order to help out with money. We are the reason that we can look at destruction all around us and say 'we are blessed, we are lucky, we are okay'.

3. Love - my beautiful husband who I cried together with at our friend's funeral this week. It was so hard to say goodbye, but with LOML by my side I could do it.


 So, what's making you smile today? Grab my I'm grateful for... button from my sidebar if you like, add your Grateful post below and please add a link back to me in your post. Then pop over to visit other bloggers who are spreading a little sunshine. Happy day to you!

I've linked up a 'January' post at the Fibro today. It's not really a rewind as this is the only January I've ever blogged in, so the post is from last week...

Have a sweet day!
