It's been way too long between posts, but there hasn't been too much to share lately. Things are sure to change with the very busy silly season fast approaching. Our letter box had a little party of it's own recently when this invitation arrived. I am counting down the sleeps until I board a plane to Noosa to attend what is sure to be a beautiful wedding. My cousin/best friend is marrying her sweetheart just after Christmas, and my photo doesn't do the invitation justice - everything from the wax seal, the woodgrain paper and the blind embossing makes it truly special to hold. To top it off, the bride designed it herself - see more loveliness over at Zed & Bee.
The things you do for the one you love...my husband loves cricket as much as I love guacamole, and today we found ourselves at Kingsgrove Sports Centre to buy his 'dream' cricket bat (it's his birthday on Wednesday).
No flowers caught my eye during a visit at the local market (is anyone else seeing way too many Gerberas lately)? I settled on some very cute baby pineapples instead.
A visit with my grandma on Saturday, and she had dug out an old box of rubber stamps to give to me. I have a vague memory of them, although it seems my love of stamps is an old one...she told me it was the first thing I'd ask for on my visits when I was little.
I apologise in advance for this photo of my fingers. I'm no hand model, but I keep on looking at my little jaffas of fingernails. My sister and I were 'shellaced' today. I'm obsessed - call me shallow, but nail polish that doesn't chip makes me very happy.
Have a great week! Briar
I've been seeing too many Gerberas for years now. I like your little jaffas!
ReplyDeleteI love your little pineapples Briar ... and those stamps are so great, well done Grandma for keeping them for you, I think I will be one of those Grandma's !!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe white wax seal looks beautiful. I too am a fan of nail polish that doesn't chip (too quickly) and I've found "nails inc." polish to be really good. Have a great week xo
