Celebrate LOVE...Invites & margaritas

We got some super special mail today...

We belatedly celebrated my brothers birthday tonight...his birthday was last week but trying to coordinate 4 very busy schedules is sometimes easier said than done! When we arrived to pick them up we were hand delivered our invite to their upcoming wedding {I squealed with delight I was so excited!}. The gorgeous bride-to-be designed, cut, folded and stuck every piece of the suite herself. I had been privy to parts of it along the way but seeing it compiled, complete with yellow twine and monogramed seal, the reality hit me...my brother is getting married and better still we are welcoming one of our favourite people into our family {officially!}. The invitations are gorgeous as I am certain the wedding will be!

With all the excitement of birthdays and upcoming nuptials we celebrated with a jug of Midori Margarita at dinner {on a weeknight no less}...and it was delicious!

Friday LOVE...2 heads are better than 1

Fridays are wonderful for 2 reasons at Jean & Joyce. Firstly for the same reason as everyone else...because it's Friday {start of the infamous weekend!}. Secondly, and far more importantly, because mum and I work together all day in the store. Which means that we chat too much, eat naughty treats, drink too much coffee (iced tea for me!}, move things around and then panic when the day is almost over and we haven't finished all that we had on our list in the morning. Today we got a lot done, we finished off two beautiful cushion orders and started on another four. We also found the perfect fabric for an ottoman that we are making for a customer {she wanted bright and she wanted stripes, check & check!}.

{Lots of brights on order at the moment...we are relishing it}

To top off this wonderful friday we went out for chinese for dinner. There is nothing like chicken and sweet corn soup at the end of a busy week {I was good and went without their amazing deep fried ice-cream, thankfully they gave us a fortune cookie for a little sweet treat after dinner!}

Happy weekend friends, enjoy it!
