Hellllllllllooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! *group hugs* How is everyone?! I have missed you all so much!
I took a little more time off my blog than I had originally planned but I guess I needed to. It's been a really hot summer and the kids and I have been keeping ourselves quite entertained. Back and forth to the lake house, family reunions, visiting old friends, catching up on all the latest movies and basically enjoying the non routine way of life the summer break brings.
So I gotta know, who has read the Twilight series?! I got completely sucked into this magical world of vampires and warewolves the past couple of weeks and even enjoyed the movie. This saga has been HUGE down under to say the least and I must say it was quite an enjoyable and easy read. The last book was a little "out there" though lol.
Thumbing through the january issue of Instyle magazine I came across a photoshoot with the cast of Twilight and as goodlooking as the cast is I couldn't help but swoon over the sets! The location and props were stunning. They reminded me of that eclectic restaurant set up at the recent food and wine festival I attended last november.
I LOVE the shabby chesterfield, the birdcage, the aubusson pillow, the empire chairs? and the zebra rug - Genius!
Also in the magazine was a 5 page spread on my new favourite hair salon - Brad Ngata in Pailings Lane.
Mr Ngata recently hosted a high tea in his salon and I LOVED the images. Wish I'd been invited! pffft ;)
Look at those Louis chairs?! They almost left me breathless! I MUST have some chairs just like them!Oh my looooord I have ALOT to catch up on! I hope you are all well!

Welcome back Anna and Happy New Year!
I read the 1st Twilight book, have #2 on the table, just haven't had the time yet. I'm a sucker for any kind of love story!
Glad your enjoying the summer, although we do miss your posts.

A BIG Hello Anna!
I am so glad you are enjoying your summer, everyone needs some time to regroup and relax with the best part of our lives, family and friends! But really glad your back kinda, sorta!:) Love your post!!!
I gave my mom the twilight series for Christmas and she is on the third book, loves them! I am hooked on a series about Vampires on cable, although off the air now can't wait for next season, next fall here in the states.
Enjoy all your wonderful weather!

Bonjour, Anna! Welcome back!
I read the first Twilight book and saw the movie. I think I much prefer the movie to the books~~from what I read about the 4th book, it sounds like it's really, really out there.
But as long as Rob Pattison is in the movies, I'll keep going back to the theater to the sequels.
Anna! So glad you are back & even more glad you have been having so much fun (and relaxation) with the family :) I haven't read the Twilight series but it is huge here as well, you have me intrigued...
I am now in love with that salon, I wasn't invited to the tea party either, he must have lost our addresses, because, as you may already know...we ARE the party :)
Great post!
xoxo

Welcome back. Yes, I read the Twilight sreies and saw the movie and was drawn into it despite my aversion to anything vampish. I'm not sure if that is a word.
Hello Queen Anna - great to have you back! Love the pics of Brad's High Tea - how very civilized. But he should have had you there, everyone would have much more fun.
