On the way to the Ballet.......

Yesturday, I took my Daughters into Sydney as a special "Early Christmas" treat to see The Australian Ballet's Production of Romeo And Juliet! Of course it was absolutely Amazing, Beautiful, Graceful, And Inspiring.....especially since my three girls all dance...

We go into Sydney early, and had a quick wander around The Strand Arcade, followed by a quick dinner with Hubby/Daddy at The Ivy.... It was a lovely evening.

I took a few pics "on the way to the Ballet"

Hope you and yours have a most beautiful Christmasxxxx

Andrew's Work Christmas Party!!

Wow....What a busy Weekend!!! On Saturday Andrew and I went to His Work Christmas Party, it is a huge event every Year, and this Year was No Exception...Infact I think it was the BEST one yet!

The Theme was 'Arabian Nights', and the Venue was beautifully decorated with bright cushions, vases of roses, lanterns, lights, tea light candles....There were two gorgeous Camels to have a photo with , A Henna Tattoo Room, Dance rooms, A Drumming Room, Outdoor Stage for entertainment, Food Stations......

I imagine by now you're getting the idea that this was quite a Beautiful event...Full of lots of Happy people. There were some great costumes, including a couple who came as Arabians on A 'Magic Carpet'...........Performances included Belly Dancers and an African Drumming/Dance Group.........

Just to make things even More lovely for Andrew and I, The Husband of my Sweet friend from My Home Town also works for the Company, so we had the enjoyment of hanging out/dancing/drumming with Alison and Jeroen ALL night!

At the end of the night A Very tired "Sarah and Andrew" caught the last Train Home..........I have posted a few photos from the night below

Christmas Tree and Paper Doily Garland.....

My family and I put our tree up on the weekend((amongst other things- including, but not restricted to- swimming lessons, brunch for two(hubby and me!!!), Bunnings Warehouse(spent too much money), Art and design markets:), shopping, family Yoga, Yummy Creamy Thai Chicken(made by hubby), Delicous stewed fruit crumble(made by liv), a blow up pool to cool off in, a little renovating, Sunday dinner in the Ivy Bar....))


Our tree this year is a Branch...well branches... We spray painted them silver and pushed them into a big pot full of sand(the pot will be filled with a plant in January). We then popped on lots of pretty decorations, and seeing as the lights for the tree seem to have gone missing, we placed some Typo lights that we had, on it instead.....We are really happy with our sweet tree, which sits in our almost finished(back)family room....Will put pics up soon of this room!!




I also made a pretty doily garland last week and put it in the Suede Vintage window..........You can never have too many garlands.......
