retail therapy

Ive come to the conclusion that op shopping fixes everything. Ok, maybe not everything, but it sure does help me take my mind of my yucky sickness. Ive had a sore throat & icky nose for a few days now..not long i know, but still isn't fun. So yes, op shopping = win. I scored some AMAZING things. Can't wait to share photos once i take some tomorrow! I also discovered a new little secret shop that has a lovely stash of vintage buttons, def one of my new fav shops.

You may be wondering...how did all this op shopping take place without Felix having a 'shopping is boring mum' tantrum. He had his 3rd day of child care today. Every wednesday Mr.Felix puts on his little elmo backpack, gets his little shoes & socks on and goes off to child care. It's so cute. Everything he takes has to have his name on it...it kind of feels weird writing on a banana lol.

Ever since he started going he has loved it :) I was worried he would miss me too much...obviously not! :p I do love all the kisses i get from him when i pick him up though, even the slobbery ones. He's yet to bring home a painting, i can't wait!

I shall end my post today with a funny lil pic i took of mr.felix on the weekend...he can be quite the character :)

I normally take photos of my creations when Lily is napping. This is why.

happy saturday!

Good morning all :)

Today is going to be filled with crafting, lots of hot tea & more crafting. We are having a stall at the Bubz 'n' Kidz market tomorrow at Alexandra Hills, very much looking forward to it. Both Lauren & I have lots of new goodies to show everyone, some of which will be listed on our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Felix-Lily-Handmade-Wearables/190171653751) over the coming few days.

Speaking of our Facebook page, we have only EIGHT 'likers' to go until we hit the big 1,000! How exciting! :) We will be having FREE standard postage for whole week within Aus once we do!

I still am amazed at how well we have done :) What started as a little something we did during nap times has turned into a full on little business venture for us both...thank you everyone for supporting us <3

I shall end my post today with a pic of my latest obsession...musk lollies...nom nom nom

inspire me...

fairytales + everything whimsical = LOVE.

I'm working on quite a few new pieces at the moment & am feeling extremely inspired by soft, white, cream, whimsical-looking styles. I'm talking 'old school' princess meets her prince kind of fairytale. I seriously cannot stop looking at all the amazing photos on weheartit.com, soooo beautiful. Part of me wishes i lived in a castle, in the middle of an enchanted forest filled with squirrels & deers. The sound of birds floating in the air...the faint smell of jasmine & sweet blossom can be smelt in the breeze.

Ahh...take me there now.

weekend bits & pieces

I thought I'd share a few bits and pieces about my weekend whilst i remember. My memory has been so bad lately...mum brain anyone? I realise its almost Thursday and I'm only just posting about my weekend, better late than never :) Plus I'm still getting into this whole blogging thing. I'm sure soon enough ill be addicted and posting daily, if not more!

On Saturday we had another market stall, oh how we love the markets. Here's a few piccies of our creations on display:

Twas a lovely day. The new cream pink & white flower cabochon rings were a favourite!

Sunday was a day of relaxing & catching up on bits & pieces around the house. We had burritos for dinner...yummo! I, being a pescatarian had the meat-free version :)

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
