Freddy

I forgot to mention that yesterday, while travelling home through Wittlesea we came across a bric a brac store and look what I bought!!!



Doesn't everyone need a giant paper mache bear? His name is Freddy and he has taken up residence in the living room - at least until Surfer Boy gets back at the end of the week! Don't you think he'll love it?

This is Christmas Day in the mid-70's outside my family home in Glen Iris, Melbourne. I particularly remember this Christmas as it was the first time I felt really grown up. I felt so pretty in my floral dress and I had such lovely strappy sandals as well.

These are two of my Aunts on the left and my wonderful Grandma on the right. Looking closely at this photo I have realised that my family all had pretty good pins! I love the fact that my Dads idea of dressing up for Christmas meant a very tiny pair of belted denim shorts. Go Dad!

This post has reminded me of something I have been wanting to ask all you wonderful Bloggers. I am looking for a Christmas photo to enlarge for my Christmas window display at CHALK. I am after a family photo set in the 60's or 70's (even 80's) showing a typical Christmas scene. If you have one in your albums, and are willing, I would love to see them in the hope of choosing 2 for our window display.

Please email them to j.kielys@optusnet.com.au

Have a great weekend - maybe drop in and visit me at the shop on Saturday and brunch in Yarraville...

Mr Kiely Comes Home

ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP!!!

The kids can't wait and I must say I'm pretty excited myself.

We even get to go to the airport and pick him up.

He rang tonight and told me that work want him to leave again on Monday to work offshore on an oil rig!!!!!

Luckily for his marital health he said no.

Better go and get my beauty sleep or he may just take them up on the offer!
