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!

Shop LOVE...lights, camera, cushions!

Is it really Monday already? Where did the weekend go? Aside from work, mine was filled with family, friends and a 2nd birthday party {for a pug named Shirley}...it was pretty great all round! But we're back to it today and I have to say that the cushion order we received completely tickles my fancy...
Do you all agree? Cameras and pom poms need I say more! I think I may be a little jealous. If my cushion to couch ratio wasn't already completely skewed, I would definitely be getting some of these for myself.

Here's to a great week,

Party LOVE...Lawn & Lace

If you noticed these beautiful fabric napkins in the sneak peek photo of our table display, you weren't the only ones. These gorgeous hand sewn napkins have been getting a lot of love in store; so much so that mum is making another 50 for a special event for one lucky girl. The fabric itself is stunning {a beautiful light Japanese Lawn} then to make them even more special they are edged with a vintage lace trim {hand sewn with matching embroidery silk}.

Gosh they are looking great {only 35 to go!}, I might have to put an order in myself.
