Happy Birthday Sister!

So I have a cousin (who I consider my Sister)
who
turns 30 something years young today....


I love her so much and more than anything I wish 
I could spend the day with her doing what we love best.
Since she lives across the sea I will have to settle for a 
"virtual party fun and love day" 
So my dearest Illona  - listen up.
Put on your comfy shoes because we are going to my favourite 
store to shop up a storm ye hear!

Hang on...

Tea first!

... oh and some chocolate for breakfast ... as you do...

There - That's better... are you ready? We need to get a wriggle on...

Much too see... much to do.
I plan on spoiling you rotten - I've even organised a jet plane to bring us home.
(and don't worry about the luggage... we have an unlimited allowance - that's the beauty
of a virtual shopping day I guess!)

Ok enough babbling (you know me though... I do love to chat)
Let's get this partay happening!!

First floor -  Clothing

I think....
 this blouse teamed with these shoes - some crisp white linen trousers
and those Audrey glasses of yours.... Oooh Yeah!

Second Floor - Bath and Bedding

Imagine sinking into this after you've had a shower using these...

... think you can handle that??

Third Floor - Kitchenware 
(one of our favourites!)



via here


Perfect for our Smoked Salmon and Dill finger sandwiches don't you think?

... uh... not sure I'd use this as a tea towel though... too pretty.....
Hmmm....
Then again... who cares... we'll take 10!

No doubt these would add even more pizzaz to
your ALREADY STUNNING table decorations...


via here

Ooooh - think we both have to have one these...



via here

Fourth Floor - Home Wares 


And then there was light...


.... And I'm positive a few of these cushions
will look divine in your bedroom on
your settee's ...



via here

.... let's not forget the patio area...



via here

 Oh.. what did you say? 
You'd like SIX of these chairs 
and TEN of these candles?

DONE.

You can keep track of any other favourites in this here journal...

... you know... for when we come back...
and get more of these....



be still my beating heart ...


via here



Sigh... looks like we've hit the last floor...
Close your eyes... I have a surprise for you.
This is where we'll be staying before we catch our flight back home....




via here



We can relax with a cup of tea and have the chef
cook us up a little lunch in the kitchen...

What fun! Have you had a good time? 
I sure hope so. You deserve it.
Happy Birthday my dearest one.
Enjoy the best of everything and know
that "virtual parties" are as real as our hearts 
allow them to be...
I love you
I miss you
I love you

PS - Can ANYONE guess what Illona's favourite colour is???
