It's all about the details! One of the reasons I love more classic styles of decor as opposed to contemporary, is I simply love the personal touches people add to make a space their own. Some people would say it's clutter and although clutter can suffocate me too at times, when grouped tastefully personal items create warmth and personality will not only constantly make you smile as you pass them, but will also thrill and excite others and make for welcoming conversation :)
Tonight I decided to put together a group of some of my favourite "details" pics I had saved in my files. There are quite a few that I saved at a time before my blogging days therefore carelessly didn't record their sorce and for that I apologise. If anyone can offer some corrections I'd be forever grateful.

On a personal note, My son William marched for the first time this year at our local Anzac dawn service with his Air League squadron. I'm a very proud momma ;)

Thanks friends for your sweet mention of my son. He's 10 and only joined his squadron a month ago. It was 5am, pitch black and chilly and his uniform is only a short sleeve cotton shirt and shorts. He sucked it up and marched like a pro! It was adorable to watch lol. I'm thrilled that he learning and understanding the significance of Anzac Day.

Well done for your son's first march, I think it's a great thing for them to participate in, I remember my son marching when he was in Scouts.
