Mandy in Oz

I've been really quite neglectful of this blog, which is a shame, as I do enjoy blogging.  If I believed in the whole new year resolution thing, I might even resolve to blog more regularly :P  I hope everyone has had a great Christmas, I know that mine was quite fabulous!  We did our annual Christmas photo shoot, I found it very difficult to choose one for my blog header, as there were some beauties.  So, here's a few of my favourites  :)

 I found these matched teaspoons in a $1.50 bag full of cutlery, some years ago.  Turns out, they're sterling silver 'Darby patent' spoons from 1785 and really quite rare, as they were only made for around 2 years.

Old gold, on a teeny little perfume bottle.

 The teen emerges from her *bed-cave* and the sleepy old kitty prepares for her nap.

                          Day 6 (Miss B) - yep, more portraits :P  watercolour this time. Day 7 (Miss Lily) - a sabre-toothed tiger cub, not a scary one (acrylic) I think little J must have missed a turn...oh well, his go tomorrow!

The most WTF bookmark that ever was.
