New find

I stumbled across a stunning little find after browsing through ONE of my favourite blog sites "My Crazy Lekker Life" - Michelle from this blog site mentioned a little Etsy Shop where she has purchased her very first prints from - well curiosity got the better of me and I ventured over to this site and had a look - sooo sweet - precious pie - have a look at these cute little mirrors that are individually made:

They are hand pressed 3inch (7,5cm) pocket mirrors with a reproduction of her illustration "Les Papillons". Each mirror is unique! Just like a beautiful little piece of Art with you every day.

The mirror comes in a little colorful and delicate organza pouch and will fit in your favorite handbag, purse, or pocket.





Go and have a look at her site and see what other little treasures she has - so many cutsie things to chose from....

OK so I have been pretty pretty bad in typing on my blog - I could have a million and one excuses but the real reason is I am sooo hooked on reading the "Karen Kingsbury" novels. What a story - she has written a whole series and I am only on the second one (pic above) but boy oh boy you can't put it down. Shame my poor hubby has had to take a bit of a back seat as I have been in hiding in my room devouring the story line based on the "Baxter Family".

If you haven't read any of them then do yourself a favour and try and get your hands on them. Just a lovely story line with lovely Christian Values and real issues that arise in everyday life. Oh dear it looks like I am going to have to put match sticks in my eyes tonight as I can't put the second book down!!

ENJOY!!!

Winter....

There is nothing better than being warm and snug in winter - but somehow the romance and "prettiness" seems to fall away and the heaters and electric blankets call your name.


I love pretty things - actually come to think of it I love a lot of things..... Why not spice your homes with some pretty roses or light a few candles at night (I know Eskom would be proud) and bring the romance back into your home - refer below for a few ideas!!

Shoes - a girls best friend!!

Well I am back in full force - what a lovely weekend I had - I would have posted earlier but it has been one of those weeks - I didn't know if I was Arthur or Martha....

I think the good Lord has definately made us girls to be girly girls!! Have you seen the shoes lately - if I could I think I would have a room in my house as a walk in shoe cupboard - cause believe you me I am a shoe-a-holic... My husband can testify to that.... I have for the last couple of years been a "flat shoe or pump" girl but since moving to Joburg I have gone all out and bought high heels... My oh my - I now tend to stop at every shoe shop and have a looky see what is new (which between you and me is quite dangerous - especially if my purse is in my bag...). The shoe shops in Joburg are amazing!!!

I was looking on the Glam Guide blog site and found these two interesting pairs of shoes - what do you think??? Wow what occasion can I wear these to??? I think they are STUNNING - I probably would need help in putting them on and probably would also need a walking stick to keep my balance but I think they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL...
