A lamp-ish heaven!

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I had a fun night last night playing with gorgeous, bright, glossy ceramic lamps! Too many to choose from a might add... row after row of them. In every colour and style you could think of. Lamp heaven you might call it!

Two simple pleasures

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I made a couple of very exciting purchases over the weekend - those gorgeous glass vases and my new notebooks. Even though I do have my Blackberry, I alway prefer to write things down on a note book, electronic forms just isn't the same for me. I tend to get a lot of satisfaction crossing things off my to-do list and deleting things online never feels anywhere near as satisfying. And I have this perhaps unproductive habit of re-writing my lists over and over again! It's amazing how the simple things in life give you the most pleasure!

Weekend plans...

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'll be heading off to my favourite Sydney antique haunt full of fabulous finds at fabulous prices this Saturday! I spotted a gorgeous chair that I am going to pick up this week, it needs a little face lift but my Mum will adore the final outcome. Oh and perhaps a little console for me - we'll just have to see!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Also my lovely sister in law Nicole flys in from Toowoomba this evening so i'll be spending a fabulous weekend with her too. Shame her husband Stephen and three divine children can't make it this time but we'll be catching up with them all in April when we fly to Brisbane which I am very much looking forward to...
