Despite having to work on Saturday, I had a lovely weekend.
On Sunday Lyn and I went to the Valley Market in Lenah Valley where I picked up a lovely Christmas deccy to add to my collection. I'll show you when it's on the tree.
I also went to a book launch/ author chat at Fullers Bookshop yesterday afternoon where the guest speaker was stylist to the gods, Sibella Court. She chatted about styling, travel, collecting (not hoarding!) and colour. It was a great afternoon. She answered all of our questions and was super nice.
I had a lovely chat to her and she told me her next book, to be released next year, is about collecting. Sign me up!
And looksee, I had her Stylist's Guide to New York book signed for moi :)
One very interesting thing Sibella said about colour was when choosing a colour palette, if you get a bit stuck or confused, look at a bird and all the shades of colour in its feathers. She says that's her fall back. There you go peeps, a hot tip!
I also popped into the farmers market where I bought a bunch of peonies. They're still pretty tight buds but no doubt I'll photograph them a bit more once they open. The man who sold them to me said he'd just filled an order of 500 bunches for the Presidents Gold Cup on the mainland and also a big order for one of President Obama's dinner functions. Fancy.
We started a jigsaw...
We are now very obsessed.
All other Molly's Maison activities (including the things we need to do) have ceased while we work on this beauty.
My poor old neck is really feeling it!
I reckon at this pace we'll be finished tonight or tomorrow morning. So much for a bit of relaxing puzzle making.
Thanks for all of your lovely comments about the garden in my last post. I can assure you all our garden is far from perfect - I just show you the good bits :)
It's nice to get positive feedback though.
Have a great week friends and take care
xx
