❤And a thank you so much to the lovely girls who left comments for my Em yesterday...it filled us with joy!

**note I've added this section after publishing**
 as I've been having a wander through my favourite blogs today, I've noticed a bit of a pride & prejudice theme - mainly having to do with colin firth and the white shirt scene. no, no, no...I won't have any of that...this would have to be the most beautiful version of pride & prejudice and matthew macfadyen is mr darcy and this would have to be the most swoon worthy scene (well one of them)...simply just beautiful. (and how glorious is that cinematography? mmmm...)

Today I am loving this...

Tiffany & Co.

While I was home over the Christmas break, I was very lucky to become the (wildly excited) recipient of a Tiffany's bracelet. Can you believe it!! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you beautiful sisters of mine for my lovely 40th pressie. I am so over the moon with it. Absolutely love it!! Boy oh boy, have I always coveted one of those Tiffany & Co. little blue boxes (and of course whatever was inside it)...never thought I'd ever own one though...I am so in heaven with this pressie! You guys are the bestest ever! We may not get to see each other too often, especially now that one of us has moved to Melbourne (how very dare you!), one of us lives on the other side of the world, one of us keeps a close eye on our elderly mum and another one of us has a beautiful new born taking up all of her waking hours, but when we do see each other, boy do we rock!! Thanks for a great Christmas girls (yes I know, better late than never with the thanks).

...and now I've done a little browsing online (who me?) and have found another charm I'd like to add to my bracelet. Don't you love it?! And guess what...another birthday is just around the corner.

Thank you & much love...

(and did you notice how I've changed the colour of my page to a Tiffany's theme just to celebrate!!)
