Christmas is a special time, the kids are excited, everything is busy and generally everyone is making a bit of a fuss. Whether it be about gifts, or food, or celebrating, or family, or your beliefs, or all of the above - it is a special time. This past weekend we stayed home all Sunday and prepared our home for Christmas. It is also a sad time, my family are spread out all over the world and we lost our Mum in December, 5 years ago. I found making our home ready for Christmas very therapeutic and watching my kids decorate the tree made my heart sing. Here are some shots of how it all looks. Hope all your festivities and preparations are going well. Paula xox. p.s the gorgeous red paper pom poms and beautiful hand made paper wreath are by Sydney based paper artist Jo Neville.

My daughter Rosie - shot taken on iphone with hipstamatic app. Kitchen stool - shot taken on iphone with hipstamatic app. Me looking annoyed and in need of some botox or something or maybe just a glass of wine... My husband, Pete, and I having fun with iphone and new app's Flinders Street Melbourne - shot taken on iphone with hipstamatic app. Me at Magnolia Square Market I had a fantastic time at the Magnolia Square market in St. Kilda Town Hall. It was lovely to meet a few blog readers and returning customers, thanks for stopping by. Here are some shots of my stall at the market. I had beautiful peonies on the stall table and when I got home I plonked them all down on my pink kitchen table, they looked so good I had to take a quick shot of them before they wilted. Pete (my hubby) acquired a new iphone recently and we have had loads of fun with all the amazing app's that are out there. Hipstamatic turns your shots into retro film photo's - how cool! So I couldn't help

Pop in and say hello to me at Magnolia Square Market in St. Kilda Town Hall, Melbourne from 5 pm on Thursday the 2nd of December until 4pm on Sunday the 5th. Should be good!
