Today I have developed a stinking cold so I went out and bought some almond macaroons to cheer me up :) I am also watching When Harry Met Sally before work. So it’s not all bad.

The treasures arrived! I saw these beauties by Jordan Grace Owens featured on the Pikaland site and couldn’t resist. I want more… I bought them as gifts but I don’t think I can part with them. How bad am I? Ahem, yes very. I want the paper dolls too…

Finally! Some house related pictures to share. Woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise – although I can imagine it’s going to make getting into town later tricky. Anyway, this is the view from the MOUNTAIN (it’s a hill really) we live on.
Below is the first half of our kitchen/dining room. We’re still in the process of filling up the shelves with our colourful picture books. Through the windows you can catch a glimpse of our snow covered garden. Illya’s enjoying skating around on the tiled floors – as you can probably imagine. I’m trying to decide whether I want to make some table mats or settle for incredibly overpriced habitat ones… Since I’m on a strict budget and my ’studio’ space isn’t accessible I’m leaning more towards homemade. Maybe that’s going to be this weeks project – now where did I bury my sewing machine…
This is a shot of the other half of the room (the bit where the food is made – not by me obviously as I don’t cook) and the door leading to the hallway. I’ll have some more photos of the rest of the house soon. I’m taking it room at a time – no point in showing you a lovely house with my chaos scattered around it :) Also the light’s better at this time in the morning in this room.
Below is just a random picture of rose face I thought I’d share too.
Back soon :)

Hello folks. Sorry for my silence over the past few days/weeks. I’ve been putting all of my possessions into boxes – well carrier bags. I’m moving house today which is turning into quite a sad (although exciting) event. I can’t wait to bombard you with pictures when it’s all complete. I’ll be back with news on the shops and new treasures all very soon – wish me luck! 19th September 2004 – 6th February 2010. sigh.
