Mademoiselle Rose

After a Tough Week at Work...

Hi Everyone!

It's been a really rough week at work, so little staff, so much work, so much stress!  I haven't had time to think about or do any blog entries this week.  One of the lovely highlights of this week though was that my favourite rose bush sprouted me a couple of the prettiest pink roses.  I think it did it specially to make me feel happy!  So here are a few photos of my favourite roses in my garden!

One of my fairies jumped into the last two photos!

Simply Shabby and Chic...

It certainly can be fun cruising around real estate sites.  A little while ago I happened upon this house for sale in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.  I saved the pictures because it was just so inspirational to me because it was so simple.  That's the hard bit, I find, keeping it simple.  Not so much with wanting to fill my house up, but more with the world opening up with the internet you can buy the most beautiful things  and it can be hard to say no sometimes.  You always seem to find that something just a bit nicer than the last thing and you can't say no!

This house is lovely; my colours, beautiful old house, and just a lovely mix of modern and vintage and shabby and chic.  I could really imagine myself living there.  I don't think they would have had any trouble selling the home.  I wanted to go and have a look just to soak up the atmosphere!  It really is a lesson in simplicity.

Not to harp on couches at all, but look in the photo above in the right-hand bottom corner...*sigh* my couch ~ slap, get over it girl!
