Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Back at it!

We opened the shop for three hours today and some of our favourite customers came to say hi and practiced some retail therapy.

The nonessential stores have all been closed for six weeks so there are some of us hanging out to put our shopping goggles on!

It was definitely worth opening and it was a happy day.

I found all of these pics that reminded me of my childhood so I just had to share because I know that most of you will have some memories triggered by these too.



















I had a very emotional afternoon watching the end of season 11 of Grey’s Anatomy ... when Derek died 😭😭😭

The weather has cooled beautifully and the mornings are perfect for snuggling under the doona. I love this time of the year.

Three things for which I’m grateful:

  1. Cool Autumn weather and snuggling under the doona.
  2. Adoring Husband bringing me breakfast in bed for my first day back at work.
  3. A friendly community willing to support our little shop.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Nite all.
