Last week I purchased a new lamp from the very talented Mandii from "Shabby Dreaming". She sells revamped vintage lamps (on ebay) with a beautiful shabby cottage theme using beautiful shabby and chic fabrics from around the world, as well as perfect trims to compliment them. I received mine on Monday and was thrilled to bits! But not only did she send me the lamp but a cute little cupcake surprise as well! Thank you Mandii!

It is sitting pretty with my other faux treats which were a gift, also, from my bloggy pal Kylie from "A Bite of Country Cupcakes". Kylie has finally set up her pretty blogshop "Bites of Country Cupcakes Home Shop" so pop over and have a look around at her beautifully handcrafted cuppies and other goodies.
I love the Lamington - it's one of my favourites!
funny little story....I was doing the grocery shopping at ALDI yesterday with the boys in tow. We had finished packing and sorting and were ready to head to the car when we were struck with the most freakish wind and rain. The boys barely even MADE it to the car it was that windy. By the end of my loading of the car I was totally soaked. I had NEVER seen or experienced rain like it. I looked like a drowned rat! My hair was dripping, my clothes were dripping - I looked like i had been thrown into a swimming pool fully clothed!!
Needless to say, when we arrived home the groceries stayed in the car (it was cold) and I had my first hot bath in over 12 months...
Anything freakish happen to you lately?

And that wind was something else...
We have huge gum trees and they had HUge branches dropping like Twigs!
SCARY!!
I've had that happen before with the sudden soaking rain. I don't have anything freakish to talk about of late. Thank heavens! :)
Hmmm.. your timing for packing the car at Aldi was about as good as mine for going to the post office. I got soaked, too.
Crazy wind yesterday... we had a large tree uprooted and lost a very big and heavy branch off a gum tree. Thankfully no damage to our house.
Hope you enjoyed that bath and stayed warm and dry today.

At the time seems a bad experience but now we have someyhing to tell and always laugh until tears !
I just dicovered your blog and it is too too cute. I love all the tings you are selling in your etsy shop very nice work. I love your faux cupcakes and thanks for the links. Have a wonderful day, hope you can stay dry today. We did here you guys had a terrible storm in Austrailia. It is a dreary day here in Canada.
Cute little cakes Shabby. I was up in Mildura when the storm was on, and we had a HUGE dust storm. I just stayed inside with my trusty sewing machine.
I've just discoverd your fun blog. Let me tell you those sudden hard rains do happen here in the Mid West. We just had a bunch of it a couple of weeks ago. Then it's scorching hot. Today it's down 25 degrees. It's only 65 degrees.
Good to see you survived and hopefully no colds were caught. Thank you for having me and I hope you'll stop by to say hello.
Sweetie you are SOOO welcome!!! Im so thrilled my lamp has gone to such a gorgeous home!!! and was always a pleasure to send a little something sweet your way!!! Our homes are filled with each others talents!! I love it!!
