Fantastic Birthday

What a wonderful birthday weekend spent with many friends :) A perfect dinner Friday with friends and Cranium to top it off :) The pictures will remain off blogs everywhere! Saturday Mr C and I hosted our first BBQ at our new home. It was so nice to have family over and to host them for a change. Lovely lovely evening. Sunday I had a great group of gals over for girlie chat and Mr C was a doll and did alot of food prep and drink refills-what a guy xo.






Exciting news! I got a sewing machine from Mr C and I have used it already! I bought some fabrics yesterday to start making my first table runner. its a white (go figure) with a turquoise blue floral print...just lovely! I think I will need to get myself to the nearest fabric store and purchase a cutting mat and rotary cutter. For ease you see.



Yesterday Rocketgirl and I went to our favorite store in town-Roses and Rutabagas. There is so much inspiration in that beautiful store thanks to Rosie. You HAVE to do at least 2 laps or you miss many beautiful treasures. I am lemming a beautiful clock from there. And some adorable silver salt and pepper shakers. Well let's be honest...I am lemming bedding and the new candles when they come in as well! Just love it!

Courtesy of Rocketgirl I also enjoyed my favorite sushi and a relaxing pedi yesterday on my 25th (cough cough) birthday! I am a lucky girl.

Rain Rain Go Away...I've got some projects to complete!

Rain is coming down on and off putting a 'damper' on my painting projects. I am biting at the bit to finish this one up! But alas I must wait for Mother Nature to water her garden...darn her...
In the meantime, my fireplace is blazin' as I enjoy a second cup of coffee wrapped up on my couch. I think now is a good time to post a wishlist, it's been awhile...

For my Master Bedroom from Home Depot:





These lovely bedding items from Target (simply shabby chic by Rachel Ashwell)

Queen size... in white of course:

Lovely white ruffles *love*

Le sigh, I will have these in my little cottage in the city one day soon...just need to make a trip to the States. The beautiful capiz light is hopefully much closer within my reach, after all, Home Depot is right across town!

Off to daydream...I have a shadowbox yet to be used...possibly to showcase a sea glass collection from our adventures in Sechelt over the years? Or shells?
