Blessed

Beki, at The Rusted Chain,  is donating $10 from every 'Blessed' necklace (which just happens to be so exquisitely beautiful) to Compassion International to help towards the Haiti relief effort. www.compassion.com/contribution/giving/disasterrelief.ht.

She says:

"We are so blessed. With a warm home.
With shoes.
Starbucks. Internet. We're blessed to not live in poverty.
We're blessed to be able to shop online!

And by purchasing this, you can bless those who need it most right now".

Good on you Beki!

Happy New Year

Image Courtesy Martha

Well, Happy New Year to my lovely Armchair Trader readers. Big, big changes are planned for this little business this year. We will experience a name change, logo change and a total change in the direction and focus of the business.... in line with my love of property development and design. These things do take time so bear with me. In the meantime... stay tuned for a 'Forever Sale' of pretty little things at Armchair Trader. Due to an obvious lack of a merchant facility here now at my site, my 'Forever (Or Until Sold Out) Sale' will also take time to set up! In the meantime, if you are after any furniture featured on my site, please email me as my furniture will continue to be available under our new structure. I will be back very soon with a great sale.

Well how does one finish the year for a shoppe blog? .... 'cause the shoppe is never ever really closed! Happy Christmas dear customers and readers. I thank you all for your unwavering support in 2009! Hasn't the year just flown! I will be having a rest from bloggy posts over the Christmas period but please email me in the meantime if you wish to purchase anything.

See you bright eyed and bushy tailed in 2010.

....and while we're on the topic of coveted Christmas Wish List items, I could get away with this on site couldn't I? Would be comfy in my pocket at least and it would give the guys something else to rib me about! A-M xx

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.

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!
