Its been a busy time, what with getting The Princess organised and settled into big school. Thanks for all the lovely and comforting comments , she took to school like a duck to water. As so many of you mentioned it is often harder for the Mummy's. Oh yes!!! And yes, it is her school uniform, check out the Barbie back pack though!
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to my brother Phillip, his partner Nic and my sweet niece Georgia Mary, who we got to meet and fall in love with. I can see a visit to Cairns, Australia on the cards later this year.
As a little consolation prize I did a little thrifting. LOOK! Gorgeous Italian pottery, vintage perfume bottles and vintage laces and trims. Happy, happy me!
Now, I am going to take a little bloggy break, for about three weeks. I'll lurk around behind the scenes but won't post and probably won't comment on your blogs.
Reason is I have to get myself organised and get stuff done. This is a half completed swap and there are two others I have signed up for and also to make a card for Karla's Aunty, attend a Swashbucklers party and goodness knows what else!
I HAVE to get these yukky tax things and accounts for the shop done, like yesterday!
Clean out the closets, this one is The Princess's, all the others look similar!
Do the ironing I started three weeks ago and just keep adding to. This is what greets people when they enter our home at the moment. Nice, NOT!!!
And then there's the little matter of our garage, I think some people keep cars in theirs, Babes would like to keep a car in there! As you can see I keep other things in my garage, furniture, vintage carpet, vintage stuff, craft stuff, junk . . .
Aside from these little issues I also need to sell stuff, make money . . .
So, I will be back and when I do I'll post the after photo's to show you my new clutter free, completely up to date house and life!!!!
Until then
Bye . . .

I understand your need for a break, hope you come back a little more refreshed and caught up on what you need to get done :-)
Feel free to email me anytime.
Both, your Princess, and Georgia Mary are beautiful, and so is your home, but I see why you need some time off... :)
If you have time, come by The house in the roses, we are having a dessert carnival… come and participate. It promises to be FANTASTIC!!!
Cielo
Have a nice break! I know what you mean. Lately, I've been feeling bogged down too!
Will miss you while you take your break, Rachael, but we must do what we must do! Cleaning NEVER gets done enough around here....too many other fun things to do!! LOL
So glad to hear your little princess is doing so well in her school! She's a doll for sure!
Big Hugs,

Hi Rachael, looks like you have a lot on your plate for the moment...enjoy your leave of absense...
Good on you Rachael....thanks for reminding me of the tax thing!! Hope you achieve heaps. See you in a few weeks
Hi Rachael! The Princess looks so darling and grown up in her school uniform! I'm so glad she is enjoying school. Yes, I do think it is harder on us moms than on them -- they get to go onto a new phase of life, a grand adventure, and we stay at home missing them and thinking about how fast they have grown up.
Have a wonderfully relaxing and productive bloggy break! I know what it's like to have a million things to catch up on and do :)
And thank you so very much for your sweet, sweet comment. It really warmed my heart to read it!
Glad to know that your daughter has adjusted to big girl school...and I totally understand a break from blogging...much to be done and I think sometimes we spend way too much time at the computer. Remember to breathe and just enjoy every day!! I've sent off your swap -- and when you get to mine, you get to it!! xo
Wow, it is like you took a picture of the inside of my garage !! hee hee. I hope you have a wonderful break !!
Hi Rachael, just stopping by to say hi....hope you're getting lots acccomplished, and all is well. See you soon. Linda
Enjoy your break - I hope you get everything done!
Manuela
Hi Rachel, stopping in to say hi and hope that your enjoying your break and getting all your plans to do done.
Have Fun!

Some times life is like that and a break can be good - but not as good as say a week on the beach in Hawaii of course.
Saw your post on Beachy's about the new swap and got to agree with you it is too tempting to miss out on. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to with that one.
What an adorable neice you have! She is beautiful!!! Sounds like you've been a busy lady! Thank you for joining my swap! Could you email me at stitchintyme9 @ aol.com so I can get the details to you? I've closed the swap now, so I'm just working on pairing people up. =) Happy Weekend!
Hi Rachel,
I am so there with you on the needing to organize myself. Will you be doing a Soiree post?
xx Nancy
Wow! your blog is divine!! What have I missed?
I hope you are enjoying your break! Your little princess is quite adorable in her uniform and backpack!
Happy weekend,
Melissa
Hi sweetie! Just had to stop by and tell ya I love ya and miss ya! Hope you are having a wonderful break!
Hugs,
Amy
Have a good break and Have a wonderful evening!

Oh Rachael! Your garage looks like my house! My house is really cluttered, but the basement...well for the last 2 weeks I have had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl under a table to get to my washer and dryer. I started cleaning and put a table up a few weeks ago and but I never finished. I think that's on this weekends agenda! I'm getting to old to crawl around with the laundry!
