Hello from a long lost blogger!!
I've been so lazy with my blog!
I'm embarrassed how long it has been since my last post ... 2 months!
WOW!
Time really does fly!
Especially summer time!
I was away for a number of weeks in Zakynthos and mainland Greece on holiday & visiting friends, then in England for a while & no excuses, I just neglected my blog on my return!
I guess I don't spend as much time inside or on the computer in the summer ... but now I am back and excited about catching up on what everyone has been up to this summer!
I will post summer pics sometime, but for now, here's a picture I took today which made me laugh .... poor Daisy was anxious to get outside...until she saw it was wet!
So here she is enjoying the view from inside :)
... hope I made you smile ...

A wardrobe I wish to steal...
This is a completely random post but thought I would go ahead with it anyway :)
As you have probably picked up by now, I love everything California
The place
The houses
The beaches
The weather
and...
The clothes
I love the laid back beach look
I love Hollister/Abercombie etc etc but in the UK they are unbelievably priced!!
Anyway, I recently came across a wardrobe I would LOVE!
It seems you either love her or hate her
It's Kristin Cavallari off the Hills
Personally I just love her style
And I defiantly love the shoes she wears!

Welcome to our Garden
We've been trying to sort out our garden for the past couple of months...
It was just put down to seed when we moved in so we had nothing to work with.
It started out like this
Right now it is like this
(You probably only see grass this green at this time of year in Ireland) :)
We're currently is sectioning off our garden to make the seat area more of a 'hideaway' ...
We finally got our little patio area finished for our seat!
I just bought the little basket this week - I got it from T K Maxx... I found these campanulas in a garden centre & thought they would be perfect in the basket - I think they are such pretty colours!
We still have soo much to do & we don't have a plan it all just kind of happens... who knows what will appear next...
For now, it is great just to be able to enjoy it, in-between the rain showers that is!!!
Hope you enjoyed your stay :)

Contrast Decorating
Who doesn't love decorating with white?
I think my favourite decors are contrasting colours
Particularly black/gray & white
I'm trying to go for this look in my living room
Here are some pictures which are giving me inspiration!

And finally some from my own living room!
I'm still not 100% satisfied with it (can you ever be though ..?!?)

Summery Days in Maghaberry!
The weather here in the UK is unpredictable to say the least!
Maybe that's why its the number 1 topic of conversation...!?!
Yesterday started with gale force winds and rain .... by afternoon it was sunny, like really hot - sunbathing weather!
Thursday is my day off, so I was chillaxing in the garden & making the most of the sunshine...
I love summer!
and lazy summer afternoons....
... strawberries!
and pretty summer flowers
And BBQs
It was my husbands birthday last week & we had a bbq...I was SO busy I didn't get taking any pictures :(
Hate it when that happens!
I did get one of his cake...(check out the barbie candles...this was all we could find) (: (:
(he'd kill me if he knew I'd put this up) (: do you like the fancy cake stand?!!
Here is Daisy & myself before the bbq...
Random post I know... I just wanted to let you all know what I've been up to this week!
Hope everyone is having a good Friday!
I'm working today - trying to furnish a showhouse...could be worse I guess :)
