Have been doing a lot of flowers, and its almost the end of semester which is portfolio time! I have a lot of work to do and considering I cant find my memory cards I am going to struggle!<br />
<br />
Havent felt like blogging a lot lately as I lost a dear friend. I wont go into details but it was a horrible, unexpected accident and everyone who knew him and the family were just devastated. <br />
<br />
I m sorry once again that I have been a bad blogger! Hopefully my memory cards will turn up and i can take some pics of everything I have been meaning to lately!!<br />
<br />
lots of love Laura xxxxLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05809886402117539391noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906847317508788707.post-43222144670798397502013-10-07T20:32:00.001-07:002013-10-07T20:32:26.415-07:00been a while!!hello,<br />

You can see from my pics that it is a very dark day! lots of wind and wild wet weather!!! I must go in a sec to take my son to the dr as he is getting a bit of a chest infection. hope he doesnt spread it to me, mums need to be healthy and i have had my fair share of being sick this year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I have to dash, I will come back to my blog when i get home; I have decided to make a couple of little changes. Although i had started my business and registered it etc. I have been so busy that I havent been able to devote a lot of time to it. But a friend has asked me to join her business which I am excited about...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a really great business mind and a lot of enthusiasm... We are going to make great partners!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So... I was also rethinking my blog... The vision I had when I started blogging again, has perhaps changed... I have thought of a new name for my blog... Its inspired by my beautiful angel, my son in heaven, Sam... I think i will need to keep the same url, and i may have changed the header by the time you are here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Must go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a fabulous weekend to everyone!</div>

thankyou for your well wishes last week, finally I am feeling so much better!! Its so nice to have a bit of energy back and be able to do... things! two weeks pretty much on the sofa was not great~! My mind was still active although my body didnt want to co-operate! and I had to do a few crafty projects to stop myself going insane! There is only so much day time tv one can stand!</div>

Did a lot of dyeing this week too. I had this tablecloth/runner and napkin set for a while. Its original colour was a sort of buttery beige... I used a mix of petal pink and denim blue (the tiniest amount).</div>

<br />
hope its been a great week for you all. Despite being a bit ill (i have shingles! yuck!!) I managed to do a little shopping and found a cute little chest of drawers which I picked up (as an early day<br />
present to myself!!) and used a gold paint rub to change it to gold from the original teak stain<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
. It kind of reminded me of a little florentine table I have seen in a Rachel aswell pic/book... I may do a little more painting on top of it, some florentine type pattern....<br />

I had hoped to change the carpet ages ago... but lately, i am trying to go with Rachel ashwells 'live with it' theory... for a while... I have had the carpet for a long time and i have to admit... it is so practical... my husband isnt keen on anything other than carpet for the bedroom, so carpet it has to be!</div>

Happy mothers day everyone!! <br />
<br />
I realise it may not yet be mothers day in some parts of the world but I hope you all have a great weekend... I have been so jetlagged the past few days and cant get into a normal sleeping pattern!<br />
<br />
I wanted to take lots of pics of my brocante purchases from Paris but just have nt gotten around to it! The times I have had the energy its been too dark! Anyway, I took a few snaps this evening just as the sun was about to disappear!<br />

I did have a few little Laduree macarons, but of course, they are all gone now! pretty boxes though! I love their packaging! I Love the little florentine tray. It came from a flea market I went to on a very chilly morning in Paris and was so awesome! Seriously, the best flea market ever!! It was full of treasures.. so many gorgeous pieces of furniture, masses and masses of dinnerware and porcelain; loads of Limoges ! If only I could have shipped a whole container load~~ !!! I know many of you with a passion for brocante and vintage beauty would have been in heaven!!<br />

<br />
well, tonight is my final night in paris and i fly out early tomorrow, so very settled in at the hotel next to the airport.<br />
<br />
Having a lovely glass of champagne and hooked up to the internet checking final flight details, and although i cannot wait to see my beautiful boys again, i feel sad that my french getaway has come to an end all so quickly!!<br />
<br />
I cannot even begin to round up my trip in one post.. I think we must have taken over a thousand photos and stayed in Paris, and two other little french villages; one in the burgundy region and the other in the champagne region! <br />
<br />
My first couple of days in Paris were spent alone!!!! quelle horreur!! as my husbands work dragged on longer than planned! <br />
<br />
I felt like a lost lamb but managed to 'fumble' my way around spending way too much money on taxis and walking for many, many miles!!<br />
<br />
I took some pics in the first days; here are some of my favourites things!<br />
<br />

It is springtime here in Paris, but I guess its just the very beginning! many of the trees and bushes were coming alive with blossom, pinks and lilacs, pretty tulips and camelias all around.. in the parks the gravel was dotted with petals like confetti and the afternoons were warmer... </div>

Another amazing display! imagine the wonderful job Head Merchandiser of Laduree has?! and apparently no photos were allowed but I had already taken many by the time i heard the Salesperson tell someone else! He kept insisting that it wasnt his rule, so i got the impression he didnt agree and only told customers on the odd occasion! I got that feeling all around Paris to be honest! Photos were not allowed in many places!</div>

The prices were pretty comparable I have to say; for most things. However, I think that Australian florists have higher overheads (air con, wages, rent produce etc) and being a florist in France could be way more financially viable! I love flowers though and wouldnt give it up now for all the tea in China!</div>

My third day in Paris was a public holiday; May day. I am not sure of the reasoning but everyone was giving, selling, buying these pretty little bunches of lilly of the valley... I was given this by the garcon at breakfast in the hotel!!! I love lilly of the valley! so delicate! and the smell is divine! once again, very rare to come by in australia!</div>

Every time I ordered room service, I had a pretty bunch of freesias on my tray; like the pink ones above! The hotel was amazing and treated me like a princess! My husband and I got an upgrade to the penthouse which was totally amazing!!! it was a three storey gatehouse seperate from the rest of the hotel... I was nervous about that to start with until I saw the place~~! It was amazing!</div>

It was a pale, yucky cream colour, but I loved the ruffles and I thought with a little diy, the colour could be improved! I used a sparing amount of black rit dye... (very little as I only wanted a grey tint) and it went from cream to a lovely bluish grey</div>

<br />
just recieved an email or two from my husband this morning with all our flight and hotel bookings!<br />
<br />
Could not be more excited!!!<br />
<br />
I had a look at the website of the hotel in Paris and was very pleasantly surprised! Its not the kind of place i was expecting him to book to be honest!! but in a good way! a GREAT way in fact!!<br />
<br />
Its the St James hotel.<br />
have a look!<br />
<br />

I excitedly read a little bit of the story behind the hotel, and didnt digest too much but apparently it is built on the site where hot air balloons used to take off from and so there is a little bit of a theme throughout the hotel... Look at these beautiful cabanas in the gardens!!!<br />

<br />
Mine was crazy busy with lots of visiting, eating and chocolate! Oh my goodness, way too much chocolate!!!<br />
<br />
I managed to whip up a little pillow however! The local fabric/craft store had 40per cent off all fabrics, so I stocked up on my current faves; velvet, silk and rachel ashwell prints!<br />
<br />
I used the velvet and some silk dupion to make this;<br />

I did think of using a red or a pink but really wanted to try the turquoise first. I got the crown graphic from the Graphics Fairy and used a special art transfer paper. Its not the normal tshirt transfer stuff... it gives a much better finish, not so glossy and it wont crack and peel. I can get the name of it if anyone is interested....</div>

the pillow i used is slightly too long so it looks overstuffed! will have to get to ikea as they do feather cushion inserts quite cheap and feel great inside velvet pillow covers!</div>

Its a gorgeous sunny day here in Perth.. We are in autumn now and it can be a bit chilly at night and in the morning, but we are still reaching around 30degrees c. during the day which is so perfect!!!<br />
<br />
I am getting my table ready for our Easter dinner tomorrow and although its autumn, Easter celebrations always feel spring like!!<br />
<br />
I make a wreath for my table with fresh spring colours<br />

My hubby is flying out to Turkey this afternoon for work , so , hoping he can pick up some lovely rugs for me!! I told him that it might depend on the cost, if its ridiculous, i will tell him not to bother, but I need to look out lots of pics of rug types/patterns/colours etc to show him the kind of thing I like... this could end in disaster!!! Trying to choose something for me is usually not my husbands strong point!!! but i will hope for the best! lol!</div>
