my treasure's-


i cant help myself - i love decorating our house- i move everything around-not once but 2 or 3 times-i love in the mornings when the house is still a sleep and the young boys are still warm in bed- and I'm just hearing my Mr Australia wake up-I've been up for a while- and lite my morning candle and given a little blessing-then i make my morning coffee -that is a must-i had my darling sweet nanna stay last night so -that was the most beautiful time- after i made the beds and sweeped the floors, nanna and i then went op shopping-well i found this beautiful dress.-its white with silver glitter on it and its divine-oh and it cost $1.oo dollar-we could only do 1 op shop as nanna got very tired - so i said nanna i think its time for coffee and a little cake,, she just smiled and said yes id like that-after nanna went home i went out side to fairy cake pond- that's our name for our house and garden- i planted a purple passion flower-ooooohhhh- i cant wait for that to get flowers- I'm going to float them in bowls of water-oh yes i do love to decorate- it's really playing house. singing and skipping love Jo Anderson.

I move eveything around, too, Jo. And early morning when eveyone is sleeping- the BEST time, I agree.
Love the dress with the silver glitter!

A silver glitter dress is the perfect outfit for a mannequin in your delightful home!

I loved the little portrait that you have - looks like a picture mounted onto cardboard - simple, but so unique.
Thanks for sharing,
Niki
