TuTu Much.

Just wanted to say thank you so much laydees for all your much appreciated kind wishes and support ...your lovely messages have really raised our spirits as we move forward.

While the rest of the world is now enjoying Summer.... here we are downunder, hurtling headlong into grey days, slushy puddles and umbrella jabbing....bbrrrhh.... though Winter is my least favourite of seasons it does have SOME good points, like snuggling up in bed with the electric blanket on, a free hour (or 2) and a STACK of mags....and the days when the fire's going and you can layabout watching a movie cos it's just too nasty to go outside....

l've been inspired by ballet forever.... so it's no surprise that l'd drool over  Laurence Amelie's tutu paintings, (l featured one a couple of posts ago) so l pulled out the paints and splashed it around on a canvas....hope you like the results which l've shown in the pics above.



It's really hard to find pretty floral doona covers so this was a lucky vintage find a few weeks ago, especially with the matching pillowcases....l gave it a long soak in a mild bleach and hung it out in the sun to dry......lovin' it's pretty faded blue.

l've been buying roses from Aldi's....only $5.00 a bunch all year round and they may last a month if you change the water every day or two and cut the stems a little a couple of times a week. They come in gorgeous colours too.....

Found this commemorative jug a few weeks ago, and thought it rather apprope since it's the Queen's diamond jubilee year. It was produced in 1937 and features the Queen's mother and Prince Albert.....when l wiki'd the queen mother l found out that she refused prince Alberts' marriage proposal TWICE before she agreed to marry him. He told his mother that he'd marry no other and proposed to her a third time....and she FINALLY agreed.
