Up In LIghts

Check out Letitia's beautiful kitchen! I love the hutch/cabinet. I am a sucker for free standing furniture in kitchens. And look, they're my Custom Hampton's Pendants! They've never looked so good. I must improve on my photo of them in the box. I must.

See all the pretties in Letitia's kitchen? You can purchase them through her gorgeous online store: 'The White Shed'. Letitia also has a bloggy, HERE, where there are more pictures of her beautiful kitchen.

I'm off to see Bill today. A large box full of artist's goodies has arrived for him. It's been a big week. I'm looking forward to sitting on Bill's bench and gazing at the river. 

Happy Friday!

Happily Ever After

I just love it when my customers send in real life 'before and afters' of their renovations. I pour over their photos and feel like saying at the end of it all ..."and they all lived happily ever after".

Have a look at the magnificent transformation that 'Kerry' project managed! Kerry bought my custom Hampton lights for her kitchen. Check out the befores.... above.

.. and the after. Bit of a difference, hey!

Love the door!

Sorry about the quality.... lots gets lost in enlarging and lightening.

What a transformation!

This one I couldn't lighten without severe fuzziness. 

Looks like a beautiful character home, where the character has been rescued!

Look at the picture rail. Love.

........and the bathroom before.

....and after.

Love the floor tiles and I might add, Kerry has magnificent taste in windows and doors.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us Kerry. You did such a great job!

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Those stunning kitchen lights of Kerry's are now in stock.... overflowing in abundance.....bursting out of my shed. Please email me if you want some. I can send them out straight away.

Happenings, Gifts, Lights, Everything

Had a coffee (and apple pie) with Rachael, from the Boutique Markets, and Clare from Mondo Cherry yesterday. Lovely. Rachael bought me these beautiful flowers. Honestly Rachael, they're prettier than my wedding bouquet was! Here they are plonked in my kitchen sink so I could take a photo of them.

Rachael also showered me in gifts from some of the Boutique Markets from around the country of late. I was so jealous she got to meet Ness, from Marley and Lockyer, at the recent Hobart Boutique Market, so she bought me back some gorgeous little clay tags from Ness's stall. 

Marley and Lockyer

Mondo Cherry

I also scored some beautiful hand-cut gift tags from Mondo Cherry and some yummy Guava Vinegar from Your Inspiration At Home. Apparently you add it to champagne for an 'out of body experience'. Must add champagne to my grocery list. Aren't I a lucky girl? Thank you girls! 

Mondo Cherry and Boutique Markets have joined my little list of advertisers on my side bar so you can head directly over to their sites to catch up on all the goss. I actually loaded up the code for their ads all by myself after following a rather technical emailed tutorial from the 'Guru That Is Katrina'. I was slightly jumping for joy when I got them all to work and link. I'm generally not good with code. #IT Gumby.

So I got the call from 'Carl at the shed' (never just 'Carl', but 'Carl at the shed') excitedly informing me that my first load of lights had arrived. I am receiving them in stages as I don't have enough storage room for them as I send them out. I'm a one-man-band you know! No staff .. oh except for darling TuTu ...when I get desperate and when she can get a babysitter!

I took one look at the 'triple towers' and thought to myself, "how the hell am I going to start taking them apart from the top?"... so I parked my car close to them and climbed up on my car so I could reach the top! I bet the guys in the office were having a laugh viewing the security cameras! 

So I managed to get all these unpacked and out to customers in the span of 2 hours. Pretty good hey! Nothing like a school pick-up to move one along. Next batch is due today. So readers if you wish to order some lights, the ones HERE, I have them 'IN STOCK'... such glorious words.... let me say them just one more time..... 'IN STOCK'... aahhhh! I am sending out the orders of customers, who have been waiting for months, this week (the most patient customers in the world - big statement but true) and then I will send out all my new orders next week. 

I was hoping big son would be able to help me out with the 'light-assembly-line' this week-end but he is off to the 'Opti-Minds' State Final (bit proud of him). It's an all weekend affair where his school team stays in a posh city hotel and competes out at the University of Queensland. I get to see their final presentation on Sunday. 

Little one is already in mourning about not having his brother attached to his side this weekend. He's already looking at me with sad eyes every time we mention the weekend. Little does he know, I am putting him to work in 'the shed'!!!!

Happy Wednesday!
