an unexpected flower delivery

doug's sisters best friend had her 30th birthday yesterday and being the good prompter that i am, i messaged her to remind her and suggested she send her a bunch of flowers using a local posy delivery service. which she did (you're welcome niques haha)

so imagine my absolute delight when she sent me some the very next day, the exact ones i had been eyeing off on the website when i made a suggestion for her friend! along with the funniest card, in true niques style.

"jade. let it be known once and floral, hands down greatest quote from back to the fuschia 2... doc says to marty... "it's orchids, marty! something gotta be done about orchids!" haha just pollen your leg! hope your daisy gets better and love you a bunch! -ok bloomer."

oh my goodness. i love them - and her, so much. i seriously scored in the sister in law department. what a lovely thing to do. ❤

so loved

we often stop by to visit stephen's grave, so oli can say hello and spend a little time chatting to him. i love the way she speaks as though he is there with us and tells him all about what's been going on. it was especially cute when she asked me to show him a photo of doug's new car. that was gold. 

i know he watches out for us and has had a hand in things... there is no way his estate could have been settled in that short an amount of time without some form of divine intervention!

but it's nice to spend a little time in the quiet with him and let him know how much he is loved and missed ❤

pass it on

this morning i went to get something out of my handbag, which i hadn't used since sunday, only to find this little bag in there. i was so thrilled, i love things like this! i can't wait to refill it and pass it on. what a gorgeous idea! ♥

spoilt rotten

baby kendall hasn't even arrived yet - and already it is being spolit rotten. our friends and family are being so so generous and we have received some absolutely beautiful gifts, like this "babycake" that appeared on the front desk at work with my name on it from the beautiful crew at the cottage garden florist in subiaco.

they do all our flowers for work (and the amazing flowers that jen and i had at her wedding in oct last year - which will soon be appearing on their website: here) and are so good to all of us.

my baby shower is this weekend... very exciting - can't wait to see all the girls!
