This week was hectic. It was all about getting things done. I stayed up late nearly every night finishing orders - pushing myself perhaps just a little too hard. Luckily I achieved everything that I set out to achieve and I was able to take the weekend off. I packed up the car on Friday night and first thing Saturday morning we made the drive to Perth. It was a great drive, the radio was wonderful company and my small person slept most of the trip. I arrived at my mums with a smile on my face feeling energized and ready to Party.
I spent Saturday in Fremantle with a crazy bunch of ladies celebrating one of my best friends hen's nights with champagne, dancing and a burlesque lesson. After learning a routine full of shimmying, bumping and grinding I am officially a cabaret convert. I must seek out lessons. Things got a little wild and we ended up owning Freo until about three in the AM. I woke up this morning on my besties couch with red lipstick spread far and wide across my face and despite the vile hangover I knew I would be enduring for the rest of the day, I felt nothing but a glowing happiness in my heart at the fun memories of the night before. Katie and Jim - I love you guys more than anything. I can't wait to party it up with you guys in Adelaide next month for your wedding. Look out!
I am making my way back to sunny Dunsborough tomorrow morning and already this week is shaping up to be a doozy. I am moving house again this month and I will be shutting the shop for a few weeks while I set up the new shack. I will try to send out most outstanding orders at the end of this week...

First of all, I love your blog format--so clean and fresh! Secondly, I found you on Pinterest, and WOW. I love your dresses! Can you recommend any specific sewing patterns to use with sheets? And can you recommend any sources to learn about vintage sheets/where to find them/how to identify them? You're great! :)
