A Rather Late Monday Bed

Image Courtesy Atlanta Homes

Who else is struggling out there, keeping up with bloggy blog land? I have been rather neglectful of this pink place here of late..... with everything going on at this time of year. Look..... my 'Monday Bed' is now turning up on a Thursday. I'll make more of an effort leading up to Christmas... after all, this is the most exciting time of the year to blog, with all the prettiness goin' on! Now aren't these darling beds to die for.... literally... I don't think I'd let my boys get up on the top bunks... no rails!

I must admit....

House to Home

... I am so envious of you 'White Christmas People'.

Getting Festive

Image Courtesy Country Living

It's getting to that time of year! .... and I have a confession to make.... our tree is already up. We get to enjoy it for that little bit longer..... our shrine to my boy's Christmas artwork for the past 11 years. It groans under the weight of lovingly handmade decorations and festively framed photographs. Each year some decorations break or perish but there is always this years creations to add to it. We also have the best twinkling lights, purchased from a toss out bin at the supermarket, years ago. Heaven forbid they ever break... I don't think I would be able to find better. The lights go on each morning before I head out for my morning walk so when the boys wake they come downstairs to their beautiful tree. It's the first thing they see. I hope it becomes a treasured childhood memory for them. They 'exclaim' every morning when they see it.

Happy Wednesday!

Weekend already? Time to thank you all so much for your support of Armchair Trader. The status quo really hasn't changed at all since my website 'passed away'. You are keeping me very busy! I am so grateful.

Have a lovely weekend.

Precious Time

Another darling clock......this little pewter number stands 13cms high and would be perfect for the bedside. $59.

Have I told you that I am obsessed with clocks? Could it be because time is so precious?

Just In.....

...this darling little lidded pewter box: 16 x 12 x 10cm. $39.
Is it too pretty to be used as a 'Swear Jar'? I'm considering!

Monday Bed

Well it's November now! The year is slowly coming to an end. I love this month. The nights are still cool, the days are heating up, teasing us with snippets of the heat we are to expect every year at Christmas time, school is winding down and the holidays are fast approaching (less than 5 weeks left of term!). As my boys school motto says, "finish hard"... go strong til the end. Have a great week!

Weeks End

How about we finish off the week with another gorgeous wall from Anna French!
Have a lovely weekend!

Monday Bed

Almost missed the Monday Bed Post! Have been out shopping for taps and sinks. Taking a delicious hour off before school pickup. I have a thing for the whole twin bed set up... must be the symmetry. Love how the cushions subtly match the walls! Have a great week!

Gone Walkabout

Hi Customers,
Still mopping up after the 'website storm'. All emails sent to me from 30th September to 7th October, 2009, went 'walkabout'. They disappeared into the big black hole that is now my website. If you are concerned about the status of an order, or just think I am terribly rude for not responding to an email that you sent in that time period, please send your email again as my email address is now current and working on a new server.
Thanks!
