Went for a walk and found a gem of a shop!

I went for a stroll today as after six weeks at home from work and not going out much, there has been a lack of exercise so thought I should get out of the house and try and lose some of this middle age spread.

I came across a little shop called Karen Wagner Garden Design just down the road from my place (in Warwick Street, Hobart) which makes it quite handy as I think I will be spending a bit of time there.  I thought I was in garden heaven! It was absolutely superlicious. I bought myself a couple of beautiful white ceramic acorns Christmas decorations and a beautiful glass bottle.  I have also made myself a list things I want (that should be need) of willow teepees, a herb garden, some pots, rosemary plants and some great decor items for the house as well!  

Unfortunately, I don’t have a garden, only two balconies, but in saying that maybe Karen can give me some advice on how I can make one into a garden!!

I have attached a link to Karen's website at the bottom of the page or you can just click the title of this post.

This is so much fun, Sarah B you have created a monster.

Canvas Bus Scrolls amongst other things

I just love the site, My Sweet Prints run by Janette of Sydney.  Beautiful work!  Pop by and see her.

Fixing the Header

Well two posts on the first day isn't bad.  I was able to centre the header by listening to a video by Kayla Lamoreaux from Digital Scrapper Blog.  

My blog design is also by Karen from The Background Fairy.  If you are looking at redesigning your blog Kayla and Karen are the guys to see.

My First Post - a new start!!


With a push from Sarah, Molly's Maison; this is the start of my story. A little bit late in life but nevertheless I will try and tell you my story about my interests: family, genealogy (there will be a separate link to this page), building my tiny little retirement home and the decorating of it. I would love your advice and suggestions on my choices.

I will also add pics to share things I come across that make me feel good!

Please note the uncentred title which I have been unable to fix, a bit obvious to miss.  I will work on this before my next post.

Hopefully this is the first of many posts.
