Happy Birthday

To my darling son happy birthday,may all your hopes and dreams come true.

New Product

Last year i had the pleasure of helping Skye of Cloud Story on her wedding day.

Now i am pleased to say she is sharing her talents with everyone on her online store.

Skye is so creative and amazingly beautiful person,so obviously i asked her to make some gift cards for Love loans and linen .I have to declare i am a little excited to see them today.

So if you are looking for Wedding Stationary you must have a look,i am positive you

will find something to love.

I obsess over stools.I know this is a little strange,but we moved into our house over a year ago

and it has a perfect breakfast bench.Well it would be if i could decide on what kind of stools i want.

Not only do they own The Cooks Larder one of the best cafes in Avalon,but Samantha Mackie

is an amazingly talented girl.Her photography is crisp and genuine just like her Christmas decorations.If your lacking some December cheer go into thier store and relish in the culinary

delights .

hide and seek

We like to play this game. It is called hide and seek. We have lots of lovely toys for everyone but some of them are hiding! At the end of the day is when our game comes to life and we like to play and rearrange. If you are in the mood for some childish behaviours come and join us in our mayhem of madness. who knows, you might find a treasure amongst the fun you will be having!

imagination....

i love how the simplest of things can bring you so much joy. sometimes when i am at home with nothing to do i love to put on a tutu and parade around the house like i am a ballerina. for that single moment i can pretend to be the star in my own little world. for that moment i bring myself joy with the use of my imagination. what do you like to imagine...

Sink or Swim

When I first started working at love loans + linen, elyse told me there was only one way to know if i would fit the part... sink or swim. And boy oh boy have i been tested this week! With my magical fairy gone i have had to swim my way to the shore in my half sinking boat! I arrive however with my feet upon the sand looking back at the fun and excitement i have had this weekend. I hope you have had fun too!

sometimes i feel like this bookshop is my life... an array of endless stories, ideas, experiences, mistakes, adventures, catastrophes and more. Endless numbers of hours spend philosophizing over the most minute details of my life. choices to make... paths to cross... oh how it could be just that little bit simpler if i wasn't so indecisive!

Gone.

So elyse has finally broken free and left us behind as she begins her adventures in the mystical lands of indonesia. I can tell you now that she is already missed but boy oh boy will we have some fun these next couple of weeks. Come down and play with me at our beautiful store and we can make our own cheeky adventures.

I have always admired Cabbages and Roses .Their simplicity and styling is devine.

It looks like everything im loving is in Europe at the moment.

Macarons...

every so often, my sister (who lives in canada) and I catch up have and cooking dates over the phone. This time we decided to make macarons but something went wrong and they turned out to be disastrous. On my recent trip to melbourne i came across a superb italian patisserie, Brunetti, where i believe they have mastered to art of pastries. this is one not to be missed!

Its our birthday,I cant believe it has been two years.

Hip hip horray!!
