Blouse Chest

Many Many years ago I saw a beautiful chest of drawers in an Antique shop in Geelong, years after that I saw one, revamped so beautifully by a woman who owned and ran a Shabby Chic shop in New Street Brighton,. She had her chest for sale at $595.00!!!

I'm not sure of the origins of these drawers, but I know they were for young ladies to keep their shirts in, all puffed up with tissue paper, to keep them pressed and perfect, how totally wonderful!

I have made recent enquiries, but I'd be grateful if anyone who happens to read my blog and knows of these chests, could leave a comment, thank you.

It was then I thought, before I die, I'd love a Blouse Chest and Baby Powder Blue VW Beetle.

Well it just so happens that my keen eye spotted a Blouse Chest while driving past a second hand dealer in Cente Road Bentleigh.

Such a long long story, and a streesful wait for the store to open, but this chest was on sale for $69.00!!!!!

I couldnt believe my luck, and snatched it up straight away!

Once its repainted and the old, {but beautiful} fabric covered with something funky and pink? {maybe even that Gingham that I adore}

It will be in Bronte's room for her clothes and stuff, look how tall it is! She can barely see over the top.

Way way to special..............

oh Christmas Tree....................

The kids decorated the tree this year, thought I'd show you how it all looks.
Bonnie at Bon's Scraps is interested in seeing your tree, so why dont you pop over and upload a photo, you could just be lucky enough to win a prize, here's the link:http://www.bonsscraps.com.au/ Can you see the little mouse and a scrapbooking decoration?


Bronte pulling her best Christmas Grinch face.

The tree is up and I wanted to share with you.

The kids did the decorating themselves, I think they did a terrific job!

and here they are.....................

Olivia lives a few doors down and she visits us daily, she often will come in complaining and talking alot, she likes loads of cuddles and as quickly as she came, she off again. Jack loves cats, and on this day she sat on his tiny lap, contented, while he played computer games, her eyes were half closed most of the time in sheer bliss of all the attention she was getting from Jack. These are great memories.
Opps just realised you have seen this, but I cant delete it, so bad luck girls!


Like Brontes hat?, well she stole it from Santa! As you can see she, was caught on camera frolicking in the bay at Ricketts Point wearing his hat. Sprung Bad Bronte!

This layout was done for Charmaine and Karlene's new venture on Charmaine's blog
