Bertha's Bed & Breakfast

My parents have spent alot of their time restoring this old derelict miner's cottage on our property here in Warrandyte. When researching they found that a lady, Bertha Brown used to live there hence they will be naming it "Bertha's Bed & Breakfast". The cottage was featured in the Herald Sun a few years back (black and white photo) and as you can see alot of work has been put in to restore it to it's original form (as close as) and I'm just happy that this once loved cottage will now be used and loved once again.

Welcome Back!

Well the Christmas period has taken it's toll. I have been very slack and haven't spent any time doing my much loved hobby, Blogging.
But today it ends!! Fresh for 2011, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and happy new year!

Over my christmas break I spent a week at the beach with my family.
It was really great to all get together. Amazing weather, good company and a few too many glasses of wine was what the doctor ordered.

Of course when I was away I had to check out the local stores for any goodies. I came across some very cute home-ware stores and made a small purchase.

Along with a scarf for my mum and a pizza cutter (chosen by my boyfriend) I bought these two adorable owls. They have taken haven
on my bathroom counter for the moment, I love them :)
