Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you!! I hope you all had as lovely a weekend as I did - lots of sun, fresh air and feet up! It was definitely nice to have a bit of chill out time because in addition to my normal posting here at I love pretty things, I also did two guest posts last … [Read more...]

I've definitely had Christmas on my mind with planning for the I love pretty things Christmas Catalogue is in full swing (if you want to be in it, click here for info).  And of course I have started my own personal Christmas planning too (cue smug smile here). You won't get the better of me this … [Read more...]

You have no doubt heard me banging on about the fact that Spring has arrived in full force here in Perth.

All I can say is, thank god the stupid Eagles won. Anyway - every year we forget our wedding anniversary. Our most memorable … [Read more...]

What an awesome weekend we just had here in Perth! After a very gloomy winter, my wonderful city turned on two glorious days of beautiful sunshine tempered by light breezes. I think I got more Vitamin D into me over these last two days than I did for the whole of winter! And to round off a great … [Read more...]

Ahhh ... there was nearly no post for you all today. I write all my posts the night before they get published and let me just say, it's been a tough old weekend! A Friday morning ultrasound revealed I had just had my fourth miscarriage in less than 18 months (yes I know ... WTF). This put me in … [Read more...]

Sorry about the second Pinterest post in three days folks, but I got awfully excited by my first taste of spring yesterday! It's been a pretty gloomy and rainy winter here in Perth and quite frankly all the rain and cold gets me down. I love summer and feeling the prickle of warmth on my skin so I … [Read more...]
