2011 has been one of the biggest and most demanding years of my life to date. There have been a lot of highs and indeed, lows as well.
- The year started off with a fabulous trip to Thailand and Singapore. Kicking back, enjoying numerous Happy Hours, visiting the zoo and loads of shopping.
With Dweam shopping in Singapore, and with my two ‘little rabbits’ at the Singapore zoo.
- Miss 6 started school and became Miss 7 during the year!
- The opportunity to talk about my favourite subjects (shopping and vintage), on a number of national radio stations and even featuring on primetime T.V.
- Presenting some wonderful vintage shows for the National Trust and Heritage Houses Trust around Australia.
With Bonnie Rose at Wintersun & with a reader Tina at the Love Vintage Fair.
- Travelling all over the country to many of our wonderful nostalgia festivals.
- Conducting wonderful vintage glamour workshops and meeting so many delightful people.
- Learning to dance (properly)!
Dancing with Mr. SKM (awesome pic by Helen McLean) and my stand in favourite man, DJ Ray.
- Creating so many amazing vintage bridal looks with loads of stunning and inspirational ladies.
- Launching my new venture Some Fancy Ladies with my girlfriends!!
- And last, but by no means least – Writing for you! This is by far the biggest privilege; to be invited into your lives to read about all my ramblings and goings on. Sometimes blogging (and keeping up with the schedule) can be incredibly difficult. Honestly, I’ve found this year a real struggle to stay on top of things and there are pages and pages of things I’ve wanted to write, film and chat about, but simply haven’t been able to find the time. Sometimes, when you’re trying to keep everyone happy it can be hard to keep your mojo. BUT… I’m happy to report I found my mojo under the cushion on the couch!!
And so, I’ve been working away this holiday break planning all kinds of goodies and fun for you here. I’ve been shooting, editing, writing, musing, eating, laughing and generally doing all the things that make a happy blogger. So I thank you all for being a constant source of inspiration, friendship, laughter, and a good old fashioned chat.
My wishes for you in 2012 are these….
Clarity, Hope, Dreams, Joy, Strength, Passion and Kindness.
Thank you for being a part of the journey.
Much love, Candice xoxo
