my dream job

you wont believe what i did on Friday night... i became a Lilly cottage gal for just over 3 hours! the lovely Linda had to go into hospital and i was honoured to be asked if i could help out for a few hours. well i just about peed my pants with excitement and did the happy dance all day long. of course the girls were equally jealous but i think that next Friday we will head out to the twilight markets and have a wood fire pizza and visit the cottage. i took some photos but they are not that great and they don't do the shop justice. you really have to see the place to understand just how pretty it all really is. many things make it perfect, the music, the colours, the history of the markets, the list goes on. you start outside, then come into this room, then through to the back where there are more gorgeous things to look at.
every square inch is covered in collectible goodies or handmade delights.
my sisters would understand how much i love this cupboard. we had some of these items and still do to some extent somewhere in boxes. i am waiting to save enough money for a lovely display cabinet.
the last photo is my fav! it is hand painted by Linda with paper doves on the canvas. spectacular!
ok that about does it for me. mister moo wants to have a tea with me and catch up. big noisy kisses mmmwwwaaahhh rosey

That looks so much like my old favourite shop, Tre Jolie, which closed down at the end of last year because the owner moved back to Scotland. I was so sad when i found out they we closing.
I love these kinds of shops, you find so many unique treasures there, and the ambiance is like a big warm cuddle as you walk in the door. I must go and check it out some time, perhaps with my lovely aunty, yes?

Adorable shop! So many goodies! I think it would be hard for me to work there especially with all those treats around me. I'd want to buy for myself instead.

Also thanks for coming to visit!

Creative Blessings,
Lisa :)
