One of my budding little artist's pieces is a 'Canday Floss' shop, I love how she spelt 'canday'!!!
Here is my effort, obviously inspired by watching Marie Antoinette again! Not sure about the 'Gorilla' arm pose though!
In my never ending quest for order and simplicity in our home I took a pile more stuff over to our local op shop (thrift shop). The only problem with that is that I am really kidding myself as I keep coming home with more than I have taken.
Some of today's haul, tea cosies, Belgium linen, hand embroidered doily and this fabulous Royal Staffordshire breakfast set, egg cups and toast rack. Just love it, but . . . its for sale!!
GORGEOUS!
This weekend is busy, busy, the Princess has a party tomorrow afternoon and a play date at a little friends house on Sunday morning. Me . . . a little house cleaning and I want to craft! My head is buzzing with ideas and my fingers itching to do something.
Thanks for all your comments about my new 'do'. I really don't like the black though, way too harsh for my skin tone. And for all of you who admired my toe tattoo, it hurt like hell, the tattoo-ist even asked if I really wanted it there because it would hurt a lot. He was right!!!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Bye for now

The princess is an artistic little girl, although I don't know if I'd be as good at drawing :-)
I love the staffordshire breakfast set!
Mmmm canday floss! I haven't had it for years and now I could do with a tiny bit.
I once bought a book at the op shop, redonated it unread and then rebought it. I didn't realise I had already bought it before until I decided it looked strangely familiar.
Hi Rachael
It was lovely of you to visit me today, isn't it great to be absent for a bit from posting and not feel guilty....even though I don't visit your blog every single post, I still love the catch up news when I do - specially about the Princess, I do also love your new hair do - very nice indeed. As for the Princess and her new creation - a masterpiece indeed!! as is yours.
i think your drawings are lovely!!! Marie has to pose that way so you can see the pretty detail on her sleeves:)
Hi Rachael,
Happy Spring! What darling art work from you little one. And, your drawing is wonderful. I think you should continue on this path.
Great goodies from the thrift shop. I do the same thing, take three items bring back six. It is hopeless! LOL
Have fun creating.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

I love that you two do art together .. how precious! I bet you save every one of her sweet drawings. The Candy Floss one is just darling!
And you have new black hair! Sometimes it can be fun to experiment with new hair colors. I think it looks very modern and dramatic. And if you decide in the end that it's not your cup of tea, the great thing about hair is that it keeps on growing :)
I think your new do looks nice, but ouch! I didn't realize that was a tatoo on your toe. I thought you were wearing a toe ring. Silly me!
Beautiful drawings! Great thrift find. Thank you so much for your support on my blog:) It means so much:)
Rachael, Life can't get any better than having a play date with your daughter.
Your princess is an up and comming artist and I really liked your drawing of Marie.
I enjoyed your sweet comments and I'm glad you came to visit.
Hugs karen
Icouldn't think of anyone better to have a mid week play date with. I love her drawing too. Aren't kids inspiring?

Rachael, You sound just like me. I secretly use the excuse of dropping something off at the thrift store as an excuse to go in and buy more junk!
Tell the princess that her canday floss shop looks like a wonderful place to visit!
Quite artistic you two.
I am going through and simplifying my decor too. so many things to love and not enough room to BREATH! :)
I just had to stop by your blog with such a lovely name as Rose Room! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE anything roses!! I am new to blogging and am just making my way around.
