Hi everyone! It’s so good to be back. I hope you all had a wonderful festive season, and that you’re rearing to go! I really can’t believe that we’re almost half way through January already, time really does fly when you’re having fun. We had a wonderful time over the last month spending quality time…
Last week my amazing husband treated us to a trip to Gondwana Nature Reserve. We’ve had a pretty busy year (haven’t we all?), so it was wonderful to retreat to this luxurious hideaway for 3 nights. I’ve never actually been to a game reserve, and I’m crazy about animals, so I was incredibly excited to…

It just goes to show how many gorgeous options you have when designing your bouquet (or any other arrangement for that matter). Catherine is…
I’ve featured Audrey’s beautiful butterfly jewellery here before, and I was so excited when I saw the pictures from her recent wedding. Thank to Audrey for allowing me to share her gorgeous wedding here. And I’m so jealous of her Jenni Packham dress! This talented lady did all the graphic design herself, and incorporated items…
