Pop instore and receive 15% off all Lila Tueller fabrics this weekend only.
To believe it is mid winter here in Queensland, is amazing, what beautiful sunshine we are having.

I actually got sunburnt at the Sports Carnival on Tuesday, it was full on zinc block out for the kids, but they had a ball.

I thought Id have a Quick Christmas in July Sale this week, and put my lovely Lila Tueller fabric collection on 15% off special.

So grab a bargain and make a pretty summer dress or some stunning cushions, for a brighter spring.

Beautiful Japanese Fabric Handbags by Vnessa

I had the pleasure of being invited to a Handbag Party last week, and of course being in need of a new handbag, i went along. It was held in a stylish Hair Salon on the Currumbin beach front, here on the beautiful Gold Coast, which is just so relaxing whilst getting your hair cut.

I popped along with a friend of mine and were dazzled by the fabulous prints and beautiful designs that Vanessa had on display. Making chosing one not such an easy job. We must have looked at every bag inside and out, the inside is a lovely as the outside by the way. Large bags for the day and smaller for the evening, we were truely spoilt for choice.

After a lot of looking and touching and chatting and relooking and deciding that I am only going to buy one at the moment, the choice was harder. But I did make a decision and quickly paid before i changed my mind.

I have put just a couple here to show you, she has a gorgeous collection. Take a look at Vanessa's website for more lovely styles and fabrics.

Vanessa is a very talented lady and this shows in her gorgeous designs and choice of fabrics.

If you would like to visit her web store then please visit www.vnessa.com.au for a closer look.

I chose a bag called "Peta" eventually and Vanessa is kindly making it for me. When it arrives I shall take some pics and show it off.

I wish the lovely Vanessa good luck in her venture. I shall be back for more yummy bags.
