double date

last night we were treated to dinner at silks restaurant (part of the crown burswood complex) by our beautiful friends jo and thomas as a last hurrah before baby k2 is due to join our little family. spoiled rotten... it was a wonderful dinner, beautiful food, amazingly attentive staff and fantastic company. highly recommend you go check it out.

maddie and baby k also got their fair share of spoiled, with maddie getting some gorgeous clothes (including some from witchery kids... droooool) and a whole bunch of beautiful outfits for baby. maddie is quite the fashionista and loves getting dressed up, so she was stoked when she got up the next morning and found all  these clothes waiting for her. she proceeded to sort through them a few times in a row, placing them all carefully on to the table and telling me all about them. such a crack up...

we feel so loved and spoiled and are so grateful for beautiful friends. ♥

posted this package off for my newest nephew - who is still cooking away nicely - in the uk. my middle oldest brother and his wife katja are expecting the little one in april (and thankfully never read my blog) so i can even tell you all about what's in it... and thankfully because of how organised i was - could send it sea mail - for half  the price! yay!

onesie on top with a handstitched-on vintage tie (found in the op-shop of course) - made by me!

australian animal finger puppets - kangaroo, koala, treefrog, crocodile and platypus - from funky kids at karrinyup shopping centre

waffle wraps - from target australia

fox and deer double sided bibs (tartan backing!!) - from target australia

plastic soliders - from target australia (an absolute obsession of aaron's as a child)

funny magnets with raising your baby tips - for katja

and the cherry on top an amazing vintage tie from the local vinnies (which is exactly the same as the one aaron rocked as a child, please see photo below...) i almost screamed when i found it, i was so excited - i only hope he appreciates it!)

cannot wait til he's here!!! australia post - please deliver! x

bella blooms

my gorgeous friend from school - keryn - has started her own facebook page called bella blooms - click here to take a look! she is handmaking gorgeous headbands for babies and little girls, which can also be custom made to adult side upon request...they are amazing and the second i saw the pictures she texted to me to show them off - i was on the waiting list within minutes!

my three new creations arrived this week and i am stoked to say the least, can't wait to put them on little miss and show them off. they are so perfectly made and i'm so excited to have the first ones off the production line.

(side note - this is hilarious, as she only has a little boy - and apparently he has been forced to model them as keryn pumps them out... pictures are hysterical!)
