My First Post!

Hi I'm Linda and welcome to the first post in my lulufroufrou blog. Please bare with me as I learn the blogging process as I go!. I'm a SAHM to Louise and wife to darling cycling nut Rod. I started making hair clips for Lou during her naps because I hate daytime TV. She soon had way too many hair clips and started running away at the first sight of them. I decided to try my hand at selling them and they have proved to be more popular with friends and friend of friends than I could have ever imagined.
I thought that this would be a great time to document how my little lulufroufrou business grows - and my little Louise that is!
Watch out for sale items and special giveaways here too!

I am loving the 1920's style finger waves hair in the new Autumn Noa Noa photo shoot. I am also coveting the cute bag in the last pic.

~ Great Gift ~

Everybody is so kind when you have a new baby - gifts arrive in the mail and it is always so lovely to receive wonderful surprises from family and friends. I know having a family of all girls makes it hard as everyone says "what do you buy someone who must have everything with all those girls". Well today I received in the mail a fabulous gift which nobody has every thought of giving me before! My friend Sandy who lives and Melbourne sent me this wonderful book called Cool Spaces for Kids.

It looks wonderful and is particularly perfect with us building a new house - I now have loads of ideas to help with the decorating of all the girls spaces in our new home!

Don't get me wrong I still love receiving beautiful pink clothes as a girl can never have too many outfits but this book is really something different that I will get use out of for years to come. Thank you Sandy!

~ Bedroom dreaming ~

Dreaming of going to bed early for a change and came across this lovely image in the House and Garden Magazine - I'm inspired now so off to catch up on some sleep.

Rose scented soaps

A recent addition to my bathroom, I bought these decorative rose soaps in a small interior boutique. I'd needed to top up my etched bathroom jar due to the fact I'd used up most of the bath bombs in it, and I went for the rose design soaps as they match my delicate carved roses on the bathroom shelf.

For similar rose soaps try Gianna Rose Atelier soaps with the fragrance of Gardenia jasminoides.

After looking on the Gianna Rose Atelier website, I have fallen in love with the Leaf soaps in the clean scent of Tea Leaf and Verbena.

For similar etched storage jars try Graham & Green.

~ A Stunning Success ~

Here are a few photos from last Saturday nights big event. The fourth annual Stillbirth Foundation Australia Little Feet Taking Big Steps ball was a stunning success raising $80,000 on the evening.

Here are the wonderful and dedicated girls of the committee before the event was underway.

I even managed to stay awake for the entire event and enjoyed my first night out without the kids since Indiana arrived. I am looking forward to next years event when I WILL have a new dress and not be bursting out of the top of it.

~ Glamourous Curtains ~

Time to start to think about curtains for our bedroom in the new house. I love the style and fabric in these pictures below. I am off this week to track down some nice fabric - if you know of one I might like would love to hear about it.
