Pram

Well I hope all my friends in the US are having a great Valentines Day. I tried to call my daughter in PA to tell her I love her but I guess her wonderful new husband has taken her someplace nice to celebrate their first St Vals day as a married couple.
Well its raining cats and dogs here! Some minor flooding, and the rain is just not letting up. I must admit I love rainy weather, I feel so cosy in my little house, all snuggled and warm.
I wanted to show you all something I won at Christmas time. I am not the best photographer in the world but I think you will agree with me that this is just beautiful. Unfortunately these pictures just do not do it justice. My granddaughter could not understand that Nanna did not give her this and wanted to keep it for herself..lol.



I am looking forward to the many ways I can use this pram to decorate, I have had it with a china doll baby in it... but I can see a million uses for it.



Well I am off out to have lunch with a few of my friends. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Valentines Day to all my friends. The day is almost over for we Australians. Its been a nice day... the rain here is lovely. Our hearts are still saddened by the state of the devastation caused by the bushfires and the floods here.

I wanted to show you what my beautiful daughter Heidi (Kookaburra Cottage) made me for St. Valentines Day. I think they are gorgeous...


The lovely little pink velvet bag, my favourite peppermint tea bags with the tiny little hearts on them with sweet messages..and, did you guess what they are...why...lovebugs of course...lol.

I am so gratefull for all the lovely comments I have received wishing me good health. Yesterday was a challenging day for me, (anyone with kidney stones knows what I mean by that) but today is a lot better. I will be having an operation to remove the main culprit as soon as the Professor has time to get to me..untill then.. I will have some days that are better than others :)

I thought it was appropriate that I pass this award along today as a thank you to all my blogging friends. I saw it first on Charlottes Web blog then posted by Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage. They were each offering it for anyone that might enjoy it to take it and I wish to do the same.

Hi all! Sorry I have not posted for awhile. I am not very well. Have kidney stones and they are making me a bit sick. But I will be around soon and have some exciting things to show.

Fresh New Look

I have had a revamp and a tidy up of my blog. I hope you all like the new look. I will invite you all to take a look at my older posts. Only one page away..but I finally fixed it up so that the tea house pictures are now able to be viewed closer up. I think its worth a look.

I want so show you all something nice that I won in a Xmas raffle, I will try to get pictures soon and also....da daah... the big kitchen redo! My daughter came home for a few days and said "ok, mum..whats a project you want done". I mentioned I needed my kitchen cupboards painted...soooo the next morning..I came home from work to find my kitchen had been literally torn apart. Layers off my walls.. paint pots..ladders... mess everywhere. She is being assisted by her dad, who... a few hours into the operation, hit his head on an arch, whilst climbing a ladder and almost brained himself!

Have a nice day all! Be back soon!
