Happy New Year & a New Boutique

I hope everyone else had as good a Christmas and New Year as I did - lots of friends, family, food and fun, and of course, spending stacks of time with my husband and son. Completely in awe of anyone who blogged over the holiday period, as I was far too busy (lazy) reading books, drinking tea, chatting and generally swanning about!

Saying that, I wasn't completely inactive, and am happy to announce another stockist of the singlets - yey! I don't know about anyone else, but I am constantly amazed at how the universe looks after me, and would like to share this story...

I was spending the morning with a close friend near the beach at Merimbula, (Far South Coast NSW) however due to some very nasty weather, we were forced to leave. We decided on an early lunch, and chose to drive back into the town. As we were coming up to the intersection we were mortified to see that the main street was jammed, and the queue of cars going in to town stretched as far as we could see. After a few minutes of much dismayed huffing and cries of disbelief, we quickly changed lanes and decided to drive to the nearby village of Pambula. On our way up to look at one of the cafe menus, lo and behold, we chanced upon the brand new Eve Boutique full of goodies - are rare sight in those parts! After chatting with the lovely owner Libby, we were to discover that she had only been open ten days, and only decided to embark on this venture four weeks ago! Anyway, cutting a long story short, Libby has become my latest stockist, and is also interested in my friend's handmade jewellery.... it just seemed to me that everything that happened that day pointed us in the direction we needed to go....someone up there is looking after us.

Anyhoo, Libby will be sending me some pics of the shop when she has a chance, which I shall post along with some I'm planning to take of Milhouse Designs. In the meantime - hasn't she got a lovely sticker!

I posted a comment a while ago about an old foot operated Singer I picked up at a local junk market - isn't it a beauty? Still sitting in the shed waiting for some love unfortunately. New Year's resolutions for 2010 include:

1. More exercise (on top of list every year...)

2. Find a house to buy in Thirroul - gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

3. Try not to come up with too many crazy schemes

4. Find some sort of musical or theatrical pursuit to become involved in

5. Go on more camping trips

There are many more, but I won't bore you... would love to hear other people's resolutions if you get a moment to post something...

Looking forward to another beautiful year.
