Palm Springs!!

 

Apologies for things being a wee bit quiet here on the old blog.  We took advantage of my husband's mini-break from work and went to Palm springs for a few days.  It was such a nice little getaway.  We loved lounging by the pool at our hotel, riding bikes down residential streets and checking out the AMAZING architecture and visiting the mid-century modern furniture stores.  And we managed most of these activities with Iggy in tow.  I love how dog-friendly California is!

*why is it that waiters always assume that ribs are for men and not women???

Birthday

On the morning of my birthday,  my lovely husband made me breakfast (after a quick snuggle with our dog ofcourse!)  Later in the evening we went to Firefly in Studio City for an amazing dinner and then to a friend's house for Christmas cocktails.  It was a fun day.  I even tried spiked eggnog (please remember I'm from Australia) and now I know for next time if anyone asks if I would like some, the answer is NO!

Sometimes it gets so busy around here I forget all about my blog.  Happy Friday,  my lovely readers!

A custom portrait I recently finished for a sweet lady as a secret present for her husband.  In the portrait her daughter is wearing a cutie patootie flower pot romper and shoes from when she was a little girl, n'aw!
