Updating Little Lady Lily's Room

I have been thinking for a while now that I need to update Lily's room with some pink as it is still red, white and black from when we decorated it not knowing what our little Peanut was going to be!  So I started looking around and came across a few (and many more) cute ideas.   I want to stay with the bird theme as she has a tree with birds decal.on her wall................................but I am open to other ideas too!

Loving the embroidery hoops idea and have started looking for some already.  I like the birth notice idea too, so many ideas and I'm still looking.....................................

I am still here, I promise!

Sorry there has been a lack of posts lately, we have been pretty busy with one thing or another, poor little Lily has had a cold, I had my birthday and with working and a few other projects on the go there hasn't been a lot of time to post.  And to think when I started out doing my blog I was going to try and post every day!  Anyway with a bit of spare time up my sleeve I thought I would post about a few things that have been happening lately and a few things I have found in my travels.

First up my birthday - it was a great day and I was very spoilt and I thought I would share a couple of cute things that I was given.......

I was given the bird on a swing necklace - thanks to Lee at Pretty Birds for making it for me and thanks to my friend Jemma for giving it to me for my birthday x

The cupcake is actually a chocolate given to me by my friend Jenna and they were not only delicious ( there was more than one, so naughty) but oh so cute!

I got lots of other practical goodies too while they aren't cute they definately make life that little bit easier.

I was also spoilt with flowers which I never get any other time of the year (hint hint Mr R) I ended up with 3 bunches which was nice, there is nothing quite like bunches of fresh flowers to make you smile.....

Happy Mothers Day!

The cutest little teapot and tea cup set from Lily x

A couple of my favourite photos, in our crazy journey together so far. Its been a crazy 8 months but we wouldn't have it any other way!

We hope all the Mums had a great day and were given well deserved breaks and got spoilt x

When doing some research at work the other day I stumbled across this just a little bit cute website that does couple gifts that make you smile.  If your looking for something a little different they do ship to New Zealand so you gotta heart that ..............................

Goodness Gracious May

Lily comes from a long line of shoe lovers and it is only fitting that I encourage this to carry on the legacy.

I came across Gracious May on Etsy the other day and love love love (did I say love enough?) the range of shoes that are just a little bit cute, so much so, that it is proving very hard to even pick one favourite, her Dad would say she only has one pair of feet so how many pairs of shoes can one little lady have?!! I love the Eskimo boots, the sweet strawberry dotty janes, the sprinkle cupcake mary janes, the fuzzy giraffe lace ups.............too many to choose and this is a small selection from their site - check them out:

Shop Me Pretty

Shop Me Pretty is a new night market that has popped up in Christchurch on a monthly basis.  The first one was held at St Barnabas Church last night and was just a little bit cute - a variety of stallholders and not too much of the same which was quite nice ( I didn't have the dilemma of deciding what to buy, because there wasn't so much that I couldn't decide on anything - this can happen alot!)

 I love Pretty Birds Jewellery (finally made a decision on a necklace - Thanks Lee & Jemma) check out Lee's beautiful designs at https://www.facebook.com/PrettyBirdsCreations
