The Truth....


Yes, the truth and it ain’t that pretty! I am in home hell....everywhere is in chaos! Bertie’s 2nd Birthday (thanks for your lovely messages), family staying, me ending up feeling ill and also receiving almost 40 orders in just one day (along with general orders the rest of the week....which is amazing, but that’s a lot for little me!) I might be absent for a short time whilst I try and deal with this calamity! I’m sure it’ll calm down soon.

Lots of love and I hope you’ll all come back soon :)

  1. Hope you get better soon, and get things sorted out, too!

    Though I have to admit that these kinds of "truth" pictures are some of my favorite 'home decoration' pieces in blogs, because they're... well, the truth! :)

  2. I love it... I think we all live like this don't we? I sure do... (just nearly broke my leg slipping over on a discarded book). Congratulations on all your orders - can I get in the queue for when you need a order-packing assistant!?

  28. of course we'll come back soon! I know what you mean about house chais - we're changing all the rooms around at the moments and there's piles of 'stuff' lying all over the house. I hate it.

    As for your orders....I'm planning on purchasing soon. A bear. For Che. Look forward to doing business with you (when the budget allows!) x

  32. Thanks for being bold enough to share those pics. As a parent to a child a little younger than Bertie I completely resonate. I long for my picture perfect home, fact is it takes A LOT of effort for those few moments of tranquility before it all starts over. Hope you feel better soon and that you fulfill all those orders!

  33. Good to see I'm not the only one with a messy home :-) We can always blame it on the kids right!

  35. Oh thank you!!!!! Homes shown like they are, we all like the pretty pics of peoples homes but lets face it you can't really be creative without making a mess. And mix kids at home into the situation and you have crazy but happy home!
