Out and about bib!



Well aren't these just such a great idea? Just bought a few of these Out and About bibs as pressies because I couldn't resist them and their lovely fabrics. This nifty reversible bib folds up and snaps shut and comes with BPA free cutlery and wipes that fit into the actual bib. Great for traveling or if you are like me and end up feeding your bubs on the run then this is perfect. A nappy bag essential. Caryn also makes gorgeous little purses, mobile phone covers and more check out her madeit shop here and her lovely sewing blog. Thanks for posting them so quickly too.

~ 100th Post ~


Well I have made it - my 100th post that is. I can't believe it has arrived so fast and how I have come to love my little blog and my blogging friends.

I have been trying to think of something exciting and appropriate for this milestone? I thought that maybe I should do a giveaway like so many of the other blogs I read do but then I thought that I only have a few lovely blog friends who come on over so it wouldn't be much of a competiton - I could however be wrong and there others out that do come for a visit and never leave a comment - if you are out there I would love to hear from you and if you have your own blog I would love to know about it so I can pay you a visit.

So this leaves me without anything grand to celebrate my 10th post with other than a smile on my face knowing that I have this special little world that I come to each day that is all mine - it is sort of like a secret little garden where I can write about anything I want - so nice to have something that is just mine!!!

Thank you to my special friends I have made in this lovely new world - I hope we continue to communicate for 100's more blog posts.

Red Direct - Fall '09

Love letters at Red Direct
Brown plimsols at Red Direct
Wooden crate at Red Direct
Leather floor cushion at Red Direct
Bunting at Red Direct
I recently got my new copy of Red Direct come floating through my letter box. They do some lovely interior and fashion pieces that are a 'a bit different' to the High Street. I've got a thing for old wooden crates at the moment so am loving their basket version, which would be great for storing herbs in. I am also loving bunting and want to hang some on my garden shed.

From the website:
"Started in 1999, we launched Red Direct following numerous requests from Red magazine readers who were desperately looking for that ‘hard-to-find’ boutique style buy for themselves, their homes, their children, their friends and family."

~ A Happy Fathers Day ~

Well my surprise for Mr A worked and I got him to cry on Fathers Day - as I posted a few weeks ago I had some beautiful professional photos taken of our girls and we surprised Emilio on Fathers Day with them. We started with a beautiful slideshow with 40 photos from the session, followed by the presentation of some large framed favourites and a devine coffee table book.

Fathers Day (and Mothers Day) is always one of those days that makes us count our blessings as we are so lucky to have our beautiful children but also makes us think of our angel we lost and in my case my dad who I also lost just a few short weeks after our first daughter.

Thank you Chantelle from Forever Bliss Photography for capturing such beautiful shots of our family. We will treasure these wonderful memories.

Here are a few more of my favourite shots.

I hope your day was as special as ours.

The creative Rachel from A little bit Vintage bestowed upon me a Friend award! Thank you!

This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. deliver this award to six bloggers who must choose six more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award. I will pass this award to some of my bloggy friends that I find exceedingly charming…
