Ours was a busy weekend, my dear Aunty came from Wellington to stay. Babes and I left her and Mum in charge of The Princess on Saturday night as we drove off to Hamilton, one hour South of Auckland to attend his high school class reunion!
I didn't want to look tatty and show him up in anyway, so I went all out out and painted my toes, REVLON RED, yummy!
I had to do a few repairs to the shoes they were going to peep out from! Here they are on the dashboard, spring pegs to hold the freshly craft glued bits down!
It was fun to get away and get all dressed up.
Yesterday we travelled one hour North to Whangaparoa where my brother and his family live. We had a delicious bbq lunch of fresh fish, crayfish (lobster), salads and breads.
They have a fabulous home, which overlooks this beach.
Babes, Mum and I took Stella and her 8 year old twin cousins and their dog to the beach to kick ball and fly a kite.
The twins were almost identical as babies and little boys but they look quite different now.
Mum has Pepsi the latest edition to my brothers family. She is so cute!
It was a great weekend catching up with family and friends.
Don't forget to leave a comment to go in my October Give Away. This gorgeous bag could be yours!

We got Friday off to :) Hawkes Bay Anniversary :)
pleased you had a nice time away
yesterday sounds very nice too
I still just get tickled by the different words we use for things- like we call your "spring pegs", clothes pins. I always tell people about how you call a shopping cart a "shopping trolley".
Your cherub and rose piece is incredible- I can't believe you could find something like that at a thrift store!
Very clever fix with the pins!
yes, it has been a full and busy weekend, it is always so good to `do' special family stuff -this is what it is all about
Looks like a wonderful time :)
Sounds like you had a great time away. Love the toenails, it always feels good and girly to do them doesn't it! really finishes off the peep shoes! xo

Your toenail polish is super. Isn't nice to have a little get-a-way every once and awhile. I also enjoyed the pictures.
Hugs Karen

Glad you had a nice time. I got a giggle out of the shoes pinned together!
