Happy Australia Day

I love this time of the year - long warm summer days and a bonus public holiday mid week to celebrate Australia Day.

Sienna created a lovely welcome sign for our front door, we put the flags out and then we spent the day in the backyard with family - a great Aussie bbq followed by a relaxing swim in the pool.




Love this Aussie BBQ cupcake - the sign of a perfect day!

I hope your day has been fabulous as well.

Wordless Wednesday..

 
 
 


"Go for a walk?!"

It's been forever since I asked Rox, "Wanna go for a walk?!"  It's just been TOO cold.  I got home from work early today and it was much warmer outside then it has been for awhile. So I decided it was a good idea. Besides, I needed to clear my head anyway.

Of course .2 seconds after I asked Roxy her favorite question she was sitting next to the entryway dresser where her leash resides.  So off we went.

Walking is like therapy. There's nothing better than letting go of all that stress and getting fresh air.

And today I needed it.


Roxy is the perfect companion to bring along. Although there are times where I'm tugging the leash :)

I began wishing it were Spring already, oh how I miss our walks.

But then again, I'd rather not wish my life away.

So I'm just going to be happy for today.

It's all that really matters anyway.

I have featured Rice DK many times here on Torie Jayne so I was delighted to visit their stand at Top Drawer. They were showing their new The Peace, Kiss and Glamourama Spring/Summer Collection. It was full of bright poppy colours, fun florals, toadstools, gnomes and peacocks. I also saw intricate, brightly coloured bird candle holders, kitchen towel holders and hooks. I loved the quirky crochet flowered cushions and funky jewel coloured melamine accessories for the kitchen.

Have a sweet day!
