CHANDELIER

When is a chandelier not a chandelier??

When it looks like this!

I have this light fitting in my bathroom. When I bought it I got a couple as they were on sale and I thought I might use them somewhere.

So… I was thinking I would put it outside in the new pergola!!!!

I also bought some of these cute little paper lanterns. I have 4 pale pink and 4 white/pink/green ones. They are run by a couple of AAA batteries. I thought that I could just hang them up when I want to entertain and that way they will stay in good condition

LACHLAN AND CHLOE HAD A SLEEP OVER

Love these photos that
Max took of Lachlan and Chloe on Tuesday night.

Walking on the beach at Mt Martha

Walking on the jetty at Balcombe Creek



It is always fun having them stay over
