Some random goodness from the last few weeks:

More Vintage goodness, My mother-in-law bought me this beautiful Trio on a recent visit to New Zealand and gave it to me for my birthday. I love the shades of Pink in it.

We enjoyed a friend's birthday party.

Relaxed in the baby pool, before the rain settled in. What we didn't realise at the time, was that this was our last bit of summer....

And we baked a cake, and licked out the bowl (yummy)!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Dreamy Dresses!

I am in Love with these gorgeous Pillowcase dresses that Melissa Lester and her Granny had put together... they make little girls look like angels and are simple to make! Her instructions are clear and conscise and easy to follow... even for someone with my sewing skills! I have already sewed a dress this week, although I didn't make it wide enough so it does not have as much volume as these. It has turn out to be more of a sundress than her beautiful flowing dresses...

I am however bent on making another one this weekend that I would love to turn out full and flowing like her girls' dresses ....

Have a little trip around Melissa's blog - A Little Loveliness, it really is choc-full of lovely ideas, recipes and some other inspirations. It is indeed a privilege to read her letters to her family whom she clearly holds very dear... we can all take a leaf out of her book...
