friends forever and always

Seven wonderful years ago the most amazing woman walked into our lives, my brothers best friend and the love of his life. I have been there every step of the way, their engagement, the birth of their first child Ebonie Grace where our life would change forever. I happily stood by her as maid of honor whilst she walked down the isle on her wedding day with a tear in my eye of joy an happiness. Followed by the birth of her second child Cody Lucas, the second most wonderful moment of my life.

Know it is her turn, while I stand by her every step of the way whilst she studies to become a midwife. I have never been so proud of her. One day she will be a successful midwife.

She is the most wonderful mother of two beautiful children an she is the most caring person that I know. My family treat her like their own daughter, the sister I never had. She is strong, positive, understanding and will tell you how it is. She is always there for me, even at my worst.We both love quirky and unique findings, garage saleing, op shopping, coffee, vineyards, photography. She is my sister, my best friend.

My life would not be the same without her and I am thankful that she is in my life. I hope that one day I can be half the woman she is today. Over the past years I am a better, stronger person because of her. She inspires me to be a better person, be creative and to always achieve my goals, think big and dont hold back.
She is my sister, she is my best friend, love you always xxx

Antique shopping, Op Shopping, Markets. I love it!!

I just can't get enough! Antique shopping, Op Shopping, Markets. I love it!!

There is nothing better than getting a bargin, or something antique that you absolutly love and was so worth every cent. One man's trash is another man's treasure. It is so true, although it may be second hand it is kind of exciting for me. I don't mind that it was once own or worn by someone else.

Handmade items, patch work quilts, old world an unique jewelery, woven an pretty scarfs, vintage an hippy style clothing and bags, beautiful antique paintings, Paris style items.. it's amazing! In fact, I really could imagine myself growing up in that era where love was true and family and marriage was expected.

We visited the Olive Tree Markets on Saturday, now if you visit Newcastle "this is a must". They are usually on the first Saturday of over month at the Junction Public School. They have very unique collectibles, freshly grown flowers and amazing food/ coffee to die for!

Me and my beautiful mother went antique shopping in at Hamilton. You always have too look hard before the good ones come along, we went to about 5 different stores, the first two were a big let down. Before we gave up there was a dutch antique store hiding away, which had old style furniture too. We loved it and they weren't too badly priced either. Cheap antiques, what a bargain. I can't wait to decorate my house when I move out, I can already imagine what it would be like.

Antique white mirror, that i so wish i bought now
