So excited.

One of my New Years Resolutions (Yes one of many) was to support small business more this year. Not only to promote and tell family and friends but to actually purchase more from small business and less from the Big Chain stores... and tonight I have started. Tonight I was lucky enough to win a custom Spot with Cook you some Noodles for one of her ever so divine MTTD. I swear my heart missed a Beat when My name came up in the last 10 of 40 names to be choosen. You have to see Mariane's work to believe it, she seriously is one very talented lady... My dilemma now is which one to choose??? Do I get a gorgeous little Girl for my daughter or do I go for the Super cool little skater dude for my Little Guy, oh the decisions.
One thing forsure I am going to love this years spending if this is how it has started ; )......Follow me to see what other beauties I find along the way.

Nobody Likes " I told you so"

I was going to write about welcoming the New Year and all the Plans and Resolutions I have set but I found a photo a couple of minutes ago that I just have to write a small post about..

Have you ever done something that others told you not too and then later realised that perhaps you should have listened!!!

I have those moments everytime I have to take 8 of these outside and wash them and leave them out to sunbake...Please don't adjust your monitor, you are seeing correct they are CHAIRS and yes they are outside on our back deck sunbaking.

About 4 years ago I went out to buy a new table and dining chairs and fell in ♥ with these white Leather chairs, came home bursting with excitement to tell hubby all about how gorgoeus and how practical because "we can just wipe them down" and how we just must have them. To say he was less than excited would be an understatement so he asked the next obvious question " Is there another Colour?". Well of course there was chocolate brown and black and latte but I wanted WHITE. To cut a long story short he thought he would be much more practical to buy a darker colour but left it to me....so down I went and Purchased the WHITE. Oh and didn't they look gorgeous when they arrived all Clean and glowing white set up with the big solid table. So STUNNING. Until the bologanise sauce and the tomato sauce and the kids and the visitors, need I go on. So every month or so I get out the bucket of warm soapy water and me and my MUST HAVE items go out to the decking and bond some more..Yes you guessed it, they don't really "just wipe clean". They need a full wash down with warm soapy water then a light scrub then wiped down and then left for the sun to bleach them a little more.

Lets just say ladies I couldn't bear the " I told you so" but maybe just maybe I should have bought a darker colour..but please don't tell Hubby ♥
