The secret garden....

Once upon a time (actually present day time, June 2011) in the suburb of fair Durban North grew a garden so pretty and neat. In this garden is a sweet little beauty salon called "Lavender Blue". The salon was particularly busy this week and was in desperate need of a waiting room incase clients arrived early, or on the odd occassion I possibly ran late! The lovely Winter sun was shining just outside the salon door all day long, and what better place to showcase some newly painted wicker furniture! Clients could sit in this serene little space as long as they wished, and were treated to a stack of "Martha Stewart Living", sweet treats and hot Italian coffee! Thanks to the lovely house owner "Diva Doreen" for her help and artistic guidance!-beacause every now and again this "Princess" gets frazzled!

Christmas at my house

So I've posted photos of some of the Christmas decorating that goes on at my mom's house....but here is what our place looked like:

Koskas in the salon!

Before!

Here are pics of an old grubby koskas I picked up at my local second hand shop. It cost all of R120, and it's a good sturdy piece. After it had a good wash down, I found a temporary home for it in my salon. All my clients commented on it saying it was a lovely shabby chic piece, but I had plans for it..... so here are the BEFORE photos...

More Easter decor!

Here are a few more photos taken at my mom's house! The dining room table was set for a tea party. At each place setting was a giftbox containing an Easter egg. The boxes were wrapped up in organza ribbon, and a wooden Easter decoration adorned each prezzie!

Finally an outfit post!

Here's a fun outfit I wore this week:

Everyone please welcome Petunia!

Petunia is my little bikini clad garden gnome. She has just arrived in time to enjoy the Durban Winter sunshine. I hope she enjoys her stay!
