A Library for the boy ....

My son, Master M refers to his bookshelf as the library. I have no idea why , but i love the innocence of his comments. As an avid reader i love that he shares my love of books.

I was browsing through a closing down sale today and stumbled on this weird bookshelf. It was marked down and i couldn't resist it. The reality of my purchase hit home when i realised, i have no idea how i going to display anything in the weird shaped bookshelf.

Off to ponder how it will work ..............

Beautiful Freinds and Beautiful Blooms

We have had a fairly rough week here, and i am very lucky to have a wonderful support system in my beautiful thoughtful friends. I received a number of beautiful yet totally unexpected bunches of flowers.

One thing i love about floral arrangements is after a few days when the weaker flowers start to die , you can pull out the hardy ones and arrange in a beautiful little vase.

I was a bit distracted and didn't get a chance to take photos of them all.
Here are a few pics.....

My Blog Spot

The wonderful Amy from Love, bubs and life on our little farm tagged me in "Show us your Blog Spot" , and below is mine, it is lifeless and fairly boring.

My desk -


My fave wedding pic , box of stationery, a Royal Selangor Cup, that i drop bits of pieces in (my hubby collects it) and my learn Italian desk calender



And my notice board -


It needs some style and class , and i am not sure how to bring it to my boring little office nook.

I challenge you to show us , " Your blog spot"

Max's Room

I have been looking for some inspiration for a new room for Micheal.He will be 4 soon , and i wanted to give him a 'Big Kids Room'. I wanted something that was fun yet traditional and allowed us to create without major reno's
I stumbled upon these pictures of "Max's Room" on Rate My Space and thought it would be perfect inspiration for us.
