Headed to a place called love

St Valentines Day is almost upon us.

This week it's been all about the heart at ours. We've set about simplifying things by making plans to take off to where we can...    

     

Enjoy Valentines breakfast served with love

Perhaps an evening stroll here while eating our favourite ice cream then

retire to bed with a sweet heart above made from polaroid pics of our day like this...if we pack blue-tack that is!

December draws near

2011 is heading its close, which gets me thinking....... CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I had a bit of downtime yesterday to look at a few things for inspiration, gift ideas and to all round get the Christmas vibe flowing. 

                             First I looked here and found 

Happy little gift boxes

                                 Photo gift blocks by these guys

Are you in the Christmas zone yet??

Miss R's roadtrip adventures continued

Hayven

Nat had told me all about this gorgeous homewares store in Hay NSW that I just had to visit. So once I got my head around parking backwards because some, I stress only some towns park tail to curb which is quite ok. It takes a bit to get used to traffic stopping dead in front of you and then reversing back. It really pays not to tailgate people. I went to Hayven and it is Devine!!! The gorgous lady who owns in the store Elle? I am not certain of her name was an angel. We chatted and she and I shared one of those rare moments, the ones which connect you because you shared a story. I informed her I have a friend Nat who told me about her store and had purchased sweet ceramic butterflies from her. I told her how sadly she lost them and all her other precious belongings in a devastating house fire last year.

This beautiful woman selected 3 replacement butterflies and wrapped them for me to give to Nat. 

Thank you Elle/Al for your generosity and display of empathy. 

Hay will forever be a special place because of you.
