Kids Fashion Week 2013

So.......... Last week I was lucky enough to have the chance to take the girls to the Kids Fashion Show for the very first Fashion week

Clearly we were feeling for this particular colour blue (Vintage 1940's coat and Pinner Station waiting room)

 

Lola is wearing: Boys Denim Shirt (Next) Pink jeans (Next) and little pink Converse
Darcey is wearing: Navy tights (Gap) Cream Top (Mini Mode) 

We had a wonderful time and I Hope that this will be the first of many................. My wonderful friend Reshma was there to mark the momentous occasion It's going to become a yearly event I hope.

The Steels Are Here

So the steels for the floor arrived today and had to be craned in through the windows that the previous owner had installed ......... very exciting and lovely shot of Roy and Steve.

Tomorrow the skip arrives ............. yay its really happening!!

Wedding Date Cushions

So the wedding season is approaching and orders are coming in....... I have been looking at a new colour way this time it’s a soft grey with Vintage Green embroidery.

I really like how it looks and compliments the preppy look.
I have a turquoise ( hense the threads) and hot pink colour way in work so will be posting those next week.

Strawberys and Oranges

Yummy breakfast this morning of strawberrys and oranges.

Does anyone have any stain removing tips?

First car boot of the year............

Now I love a car boot sale and after a visit to Aldenham Country Park last week we discovered that there is a car boot sale there every Saturday............
 
So after a little bribery which involved an adventure to find a monkey for Lola and a Giraffe for Darcey (Lola clearly wanted to go to the zoo not to a car park in the rain) we set off..........

Wet cold and about 4 stalls it was a good job the entrance was very reasonable and there was a playground there.

But guess what the first thing we found was........................................He will be lovingly treated to a spin round the washing machine regardless of what the label says.

Jacob had Green and Navy..............very preppy.

Lucy was more girly in Dusty Pink Gingham and Pale Blue.

Hand made personalised Hamper

I thought it was about time I posted the wedding hamper that I created for my wonderful cousins wedding; it also included a couple of the personalised cushions that I make and some bits for the Kids.   https://www.etsy.com/shop/lolasdreams

A couple of love birds.

Butterfiles, Bubbles and Bean

So spring has sprung and we have gone for a trip to see the butterflies at Wisley ....... Beautiful but very warm in the butterfly glass house.

We had a wonderful time but butterflies are hard to photograph.

Packing up.

The scafolding has arrived ................ the wait is finally over and the plans are going to take shape.

We are starting with the loft this will be the girls room and the most fun, but at the moment the cardboard boxes are as good as any toy.

Two Pea's and Me

Bubbles

Bean and Me

So it starts.............. I have finally got round to it.  I’m a Mum of two with romantic notions of a beautiful life, home, and stylish well behaved kids, here is my attempt at living the dream, the girls the decor and a lot more along the way. Bubbles has just become a big sister and Bean is a snoozey 2 weeks old.  Let the chaos begin!!
