I have had plenty of comments and a few emails from That Vintage lovers, asking about one of the models from Australia's Next Top Model current season - Madeline. "Is that the model in some of your shoots for That Vintage?" - well yes, yes it is! And Madeline is doing such a fab job on the show!

For The Indecisive And The Patient.

The new colours from the That Vintage Tea Party Jewellery range are now available online at Style Milk - yippee!

To celebrate, they are generously offering FREE POSTAGE for orders over $50.00au - this means that you could pick up two pairs of the Tea Party saucer earrings and not pay a cent for postage costs! Hurrah!

That Sweet Little Nest.

A couple of beautiful photos from the very first "bricks-and-mortar" shop to stock the Tea Party jewellery range, Nest in Penguin, Tasmania - Natalie is one incredible merchandiser, how truly sweet does it look!

Tea-lightfully Minty Fresh.

You know what, sometimes... I just want to fly away!

A holiday would be nice, an adventure to somewhere different - somewhere that would challenge my linguistic skills... oh yep. Maybe Russia? Or Japan? Anyway, how sweet is this Etsy treasury list by dreamspiralart!

Jazz, Wise Old Pooch.

Our boy Jazz.

At the end of July, our family went through one of the toughest things possible... losing our cherished labrador dog, Jazz.

Jazz would have been 12 years old this year; he was more than just a pet to us - he was like a brother and son in a dogs costume - he was a wise, gentle natured dog, huge heart and eyes that made you melt; and he was a constant guardian of us all.

We miss him so very much.

To keep his memory alive, I decided to get a portrait of him done by a very talented American artist Manda Wolfe - her Etsy store - her work is fun, colourful and out of the norm of "standard portraiture" and that is what drew me to her talent.

We are all amazed with how Manda has captured Jazz in the portrait, his eyes are spot on and when we look at it, we feel a bit of heart-warming comfort.

A loving thankyou to Manda for her incredibly understanding and sweet customer service, topping off a truly beautiful portrait.
