It's all change......

Sorry it has been such a while since my last post BUT it has been all change here and lots of exciting happenings!!!

My website launched mid December - Vintage Simplicity - and that combined with getting a photo shoot organised and Christmas preparations for all of the family left me well and truly flagging.

It is a new beginning for me though as I enter a new world of juggling business with motherhood BUT I am thoroughly enjoying it.

You can see how it all began at the Vintage Simplicity Blog.

Please do follow me on my new blog - updates will be notified via  Twitter and Facebook
Hope you all have a very Happy New Year.

A little update

Sorry it has been such a while since my last post but things have been really hectic here and I really do not know where the days have gone.

My website for Vintage Simplicity is nearly now complete and my holding page can be viewed at www.vintagesimplicity.co.uk. It is looking amazing and I am so so pleased with the design. In fact, I absolutely LOVE it!!!!! xxxx

This is an example of the final design - I hope you all like it as much as I do!!!

Once the website is up and running I will be posting a Vintage Simplicity Blog on my website. This will be a update of all news, photos and press to do with the business.

My Grannies Attic Blog will remain live but will be more about us as a family and my personal vintage treasure finds.

On a more personal note, Molly is coping really well with her Diabetes and is an absolute star. We are getting back to normal now, doing every day things as a family and trying to stay positive.

Have a fabulous week - more updates will follow.......

Love

Would appreciate any comments you may have.
Thankyou.

Vintage Simplicity

My new logo has now been completed - so one step nearer to launch!!! Yippee!!!

Hope you all like it.

I am involved in a wedding photo shoot on the 18th November which is all very exciting. It is based on a 1920's flapper theme and I will be providing all of the vintage china and accessories. I will report on this and show photos after the event.
On another note - some exciting news that I have to report is that DotComGiftShop have written an article called Vintage Blogs We Love and My Grannies Attic has been highlighted along with a host of other gorgeous blogs that I follow. It can be seen at DotComGiftShop - Vintage Blogs. It was really uplifting to find out about this and a big thankyou goes to all involved!!!!

Getting back to normal

We have all had a lovely relaxing weekend which in turn as given me time to start concentrating on Vintage Simplicity once more. I have caught up with all of my emails and have arranged some meetings for next week, sifted through a pile of invoices (although haven't got round to processing them yet!!!) and ordered yet more china (ooops - couldn't resist)!!!

It wasn't until I ventured downstairs however, that I realised things were getting back to normal in our house. Look what's been made for Mummy.....

Yum, yum!!!! Off now for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Love

(For anyone wondering where our youngest is - he was fast asleep!!!! He got up at 5am this morning due to the clock change - aaaaaargh!!!)

I'm Back!!!!

Hello everyone xxx

Sorry it has been a while since my last blog but our whole familys' lives have just been turned upside down.

Our daughter Molly - aged 9 was diagnosed with Type 1 (Juvenile) Diabetes on the 4th October. This means that her pancreas no longer produces insulin so she will be insulin dependent indefinately.

When we were told by our GP it came as such a shock to us as Molly was such a healthy child - gaining a place in our local swimming club just a week before diagnosis!!

We were immediately rushed to hospital where Molly & I spent three days trying to adjust to the new life that lay ahead of us.

Molly, without doubt, is the bravest girl I could ever hope to meet. I love her to pieces and I am so proud of her. She has taken this on board like a true star and although we have moments of frustration she really is going about her daily life just like she did before the news.

My other three children have been equally as brave!!! They have been backwards and forwards to hospital at all times day and night and been looked after by countless numbers of people. I love you all too!!!!

Myself and my husband have taken a little longer to adjust - but we are getting there. I think it was because it came as such a shock that is why it has knocked us for six.

Anyway at times like this, I have to keep myself busy so I have been tidying, sorting and re-organising all of my china in the house. A 4 hourly blood testing regime throughout the day has meant that I could not venture to far away from home/school so gave me time to finally do all of these chores.

I hope you have enjoyed a little peek into my china collection.

Bye for Now
