Mother Nature's Moods



Hello sweet darlings...I hope your week is faring well.  Some weeks ago, I ventured for a walk by the river. A gentle breeze was blowing, wrapping the body in a cool blanket, clouds like big fluffy pillows floated ever so gently over head, you could hear the sweet melodies of birds singing out to each other and passersby down below. Seagulls playing games of catching shells hoping to find tasty treats inside. Mother Nature playing her part in all walks of life. All was going so well until, the mood changed, clouds started to fall, engulfing the hills underneath them, waves began rising and crashing in great crescendo slapping over the railings and pouring onto the pavement. Hurried faces rushed to take cover in their cars and near buildings close by. We waited to see...it stops...hooray.....but Mother Nature has different plans...the down pour of hale stones quickly begins, hitting the ground like a hundred marbles in a children's game. We race to hide, laughing at the spectacle of it all. Watching it fall to cover the ground like white paint splattering on dark canvas. Birds lost in a graceless flight trying to take cover, lost to the strength of the winds. Minutes upon minutes pass by and slowly like the turn of a page, the clouds lift, leaving the space once invaded. Beautiful rays of sun dance together with rain drops to cascade in rainbows of colour into the atmosphere like a symphony of triumph. I smile happily towards the bright light as it warms my face and dries any trace of the rain that once was....'Mother Nature at her best' I laugh saying....and hurry home before she changes her mind again ;D

Have a happy Wednesday petals!!
Love loves

Happy Wishes



Happy Monday sunshine's!! A beautiful week to you dear ones. I hope your weekend was glorious & full of fun :) Here, the weather calmed and it was rather pleasant outside, I even had to take off my jacket as it felt too warm, I was so excited for that - I'm such a sunny weather baby despite being born in the autumn. The flowers were peeping out ever so gently, a sweet aroma filled the air, birds were chirping away their faithful songs..faces beamed with delight at the change in weather. The anticipation of spring made my little heart skip a beat. Wearing spring dresses, eating icecreams along the beach, exploring more castles, eating more icecreams, wearing more dresses, the cool touch of sand between my toes as the waters rush up, more dresses, yes yes yes! I am excited :)) I wish you lots of love and happiness this week & I hope all your dreams come true!!

Love love

Wishes for you.....
















Go on...Make your wish!

On The Way Out!




Aloha cupcakes (I really do with I was in Hawaii or some other beautiful Island just now). How was your week!?! Great, I hope. I had a little break, I wanted to spend some time in my art books, listen to music and relax to help ignore the cold rain outside that we've had for some days now. It was a great refresher, these photos were taken some weeks ago before all the rain came. I am very ready for Spring, I long to pull out all my spring dresses and sit in the sun! I hope all is well where you are &  I wish you all a joyful and bright weekend!! I will be around to catch up with all your blogs too :)

{Monday Start} Positively Bliss


Good day babydolls!! Another weekend over, a new week rolls in to take it's place. Where does the time go!?! A relaxing weekend spent strolling here and there, watching football {soccer to Americans} nail painting, movie watching too, and books, there must always be time for books. The wind blows gently over the waters across the way, flowers trying to make their stance through the dusky grounds. Children laughing as they pass by on their way to school...a smile back in return. Positivity...something greatly on my mind lately, for others as well for myself. How often the scales weigh more in favour for others, but not so much for myself...time to balance it out. I have realised that there comes a point in life where we have to seek our own approval...because it's what matters most. To live positively for one's self is to just plainly live....happily!

And I hope all of you do just that...think positive, act positive, live positive!!

Love love love

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. -Golda Meir

Dolls & Guitars



Hiya babydolls!! I hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful! Mine was here, the sun was shining, so we spent it out and about. My husband cooked us girls dinner and then we sat and watched movies together, it was nice and relaxing! I was out snapping pictures as well during the day & you'll be seeing those around here as soon as I can finish them. But, in my house there is always music, there is always singing, laughter and jumping around. My husband is teaching me guitar, we have three of them in our house amongst other instruments. This is his beloved Les Paul gold top, that he freaks about if you handle it the wrong way, haha! But, I can understand why, Les Paul's are amazing. But, I was playing for my baby daughter, who was in her crib that you can't see a song (my musique choice for today). She is soothed by music and me singing, I sang to her while pregnant and she loves to hear singing now. I hope all of you have a wonderful day!! Talk to you soon cupcakes!! You can catch me on Facebook

Happy Monday dollipops!! I hope your weekend was wonderful..it was dry and rather pleasant here. Not that cold at all. I spent the time watching movies, eating strawberry tart (yum) and reading books and magazines. I hope each of you has a wonderful start to the week and a great Valentine's Day tomorrow!! Remember love isn't just for a day and it's not found in sweets, gifts or other material possessions, it's in and from the heart and that is for every second, moment and day of the year!! 


Love love love to you all!!


P.S. A BIG hello to new followers to my blog..thank you kindly for joining. And to those who have asked for more outfit posts, will have some soon-ish, haha. I'll have my camera man this week as he's off, so I'll try and get some done! It's very kind to be asking, as I never think I'm that interesting, haha! xo
