Just a couple of unrelated images which I adore. Thanks to Casapinka for the gorgeous Jackie O image - so beautiful and I love this room by Antonia Hutt via Desire to inspire - my favourite colour combo of the moment - pink and blue!!!

There was lots more progress at the shop by the end of last week as above. I'm looking forward to all the final bits and pieces arriving this week.
Also, just a note to thank everyone for your very kind and encouraging comments and also hi and thanks for stopping by to all my new readers. I know I don't get to answer all of your comments but I do appreciate them very much.

A Busy Week...
It's been so crazy in my little world these last couple of weeks - I have been trying to get the new display into the shop and at the same time I've been working to get my house ready for two things - putting it on the market to sell and a photo shoot for Real Living magazine. Real Living magazine is coming up to take photos of both my home and my shop in about a week's time which I am very excited about but with trying to look after my clients, my family, running Black & Spiro and getting home and the shop ready for this shoot, life has been very hectic so I do apologise for the lack of posts this week!! I thought I would show you some photos of my progress at home. My dear friend Sally came over this week to help me get things a little more organised which was fantastic. Sally is a whizz at organisation!! Hope you all have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing from you all next week and I promise I'll get my act into gear with some more exciting new posts!!!

Black and Spiro Today
An old vintage bamboo look iron chair above is part of a set of 4 chairs and a table which I found in my travels - it takes pride of place in my new display.
I found an old embroidered Willow design linen tablecloth which I had made into some new cushions (above) with a Ralph Lauren blue and white stripe on the back - they are already sold!!The new look at Black & Spiro is progressing everyday. Some new bits and pieces above - still waiting on a few more pieces to finish it all off. Once it's all done I'll post lots of pictures of the finished look!!

I Love the look of mismatched dining chairs as above.

Later this year I will be celebrating my 30th Birthday - scary - where did all those years go??!! I have finally decided on the location and type of party I will be having which will be a weekend long Birthday celebration with 28 of my closest friends at Peppers Spicers Peak Lodge. Peppers is located in the country - approximately 2 hours from where I live in Brisbane. I am planning a special lunch on the Saturday which will be held outside on the grass just in front of the lodge with a long table with custom made tablecloth and napkins, beautiful chairs and dinner plates and lots and lots of beautiful flowers. I thought I would share with you some of the images I have been starting to collect which will eventually inspire me to create my special birthday lunch.
Thank you!!
