wedding photos

happy long weekend out there!

what are you all up to?

we have family visiting again this weekend so we are happy to be 

sharing our little home once more :)

In other news, I finally got around to printing some wedding photos to hang on the wall.

I decided to print 4 30cm x 30cm black and white pics in the square frames rather than one big photo... more pictures to remind me of our special day!

what do you think??

On that note happy hump day!

life lately

DIY

Hello peeps!

It has been so good to be on holidays lately and get a few little projects done I have been meaning to do for literally over a year.  The first one I decided to tackle was reinventing some old cane foot rests I bought a couple of years ago.  They are boring!  So when I came across some black ikat fabric I knew it would be perfect to brighten them up a little.  Take a look...

I am loving the outcome!

What are your thoughts?

Love Joy Robes!

pretty robes now available at my etsy store!

Love Joy xo

So exciting news guys, I have opened my very own etsy store selling made to order dressing gowns!!

Perfect for your wedding day, bridesmaid gift or even a special present for a new mum.

I am so excited to get this happening because I know how much I loved wearing mine 

on my own wedding day and how pretty the girls looked in all their matching robes!

happy holidays!

Happy holidays to all the teachers out there!

I am so excited to have a two week break over Easter.

10 weeks of teaching preppies really takes it out of you...

do you know that the average four year old asks 300 questions a day?

times that by 22 and you have an idea of my typical work day... he he!

still, I will miss their little faces!

Is anyone else on holidays?

What have you got planned for Easter?

I would love to know!
