Teapots.....oh how i love them!!

Teapots are so lovely.

These are such pretty pots i have found on google images. One day i hope to have beautiful teapots just like these.

I also want to share the beautiful nursery rhyme -

"I'm a little tea pot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout.

When i get all steamed up, then i shout,

Tip me over, pour me out."

A Tea Party!

The beautiful teapot/teabag invitation!

I feel like a bit of blogging tonight and i have a perfect topic :-) My Nanna's Tea Party was this afternoon. We were celebrating her 80th birthday. She is such a wonderful lady and it was wonderful to be with her and see all her lovely friends.

It is a wonderful place where my Nanna lives, in the retirement village they have a communal centre that any of the residents can hire out for parties and celebrations. I am also very lucky to be part of a lovely family who all helped out with the preparation and the clean up. We all love our Nanna/Mother so much.

The photos above show all my lovely decorations for the party! I do love party planning and decorating. The next one i am planning is my Pink and Blue Christening celebration lunch for my beautiful children!!

A Lost Present!!!

I am very frantic this evening as i have lost my best friends birthday present....arrgghhh.

I hid it away as she came to my house last school holidays, i remember saying to myself i'll put it away somewhere safe and not obvious so she does not see it accidently. Problem is i can't find it anywhere, i don't even remember what bag it is in. I do remember it's a ring box and earring pouch.

I have made a huge mess in the bedroom pulling out the bottom of our wardrobe and it's currently still on the floor, Dan is not very happy with me for that. I have also been through every possible space in my craft room (which is where i was positive i would find it).

Any hints on how to find something on a deadline?? I have to have it in the post to send to her by sunday evening post pickup, so that it will reach her by Wednesday.

I am going frantically mad.......

A 4th visit to Bella from the Tooth Fairy

In our household this week the Tooth Fairy came for the 4th time to visit Bella! She lost one of her top teeth, a nice big one too! Now she can poke her tongue through it :-)

We also recieved a special letter & coin in our letterbox from the tooth fairy just for Bella. I have attached a photo! This letter suprised me too (it was care of our lovely nieghbors who love bella dearly).

Also a random fact,after checking Bella's baby book for the order of when the teeth came in, they are actually falling out the same order that they grew in!! Very interesting to see if this pattern continues.

Roma Tomato

I went out onto my back balcony this morning, looked down at my Vegie Patch and was so very excited by the colour of red :-)

So out i went in my pajamas to see and pick off our 1st 3 home grown tomatoes!!!!!! Bella of course came running out too with my excitement & it was so lovely to see her reaction to what we had grown ourselfs from just a seedling of a plant!!

I will make a salad tonight and put our home grown tomatos in it, we can't wait to try them and hope that they taste like yummy roma tomatos!
I would like to share this quote i found -

"I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse

My morning at the Baby Expo

Today i attended the expo at Southbank in Brisbane. It was faboulous, and i guess why it was so for me because i was babyless, my husband had the day off so i could leave the pram at home and have a morning to myself. It was lovely.

As i wandered around i collected every free thing being handed out. I ended up walking out of the convention centre with 12 enviro bags :-) Lots of lovely advertising to read. the best thing about all this advertising of course is the freebies.....I love a good freebie :-) Here's the list of what i was lucky enough to recieve -

Today we had a family gathering for my husband's nieces birthday's. Bella and i decided that we felt like making yummy and very pretty cupcakes.

They were a real hit and everyone was very impressed. I have not blogged for a while, i have been very slack, so i thought i would share our yummy cupcakes.
