Songkran 2011

Looks like the darlings didn't come for the home cooking!

Songkran a fun festival to celebrate the rain returning, equal to our Christmas
for families returning home but perhaps more fun! Sons and their mates
enjoy! (Thanks, Woodsey for sharing the moments)

Precarious Pink Balance in Phuket

The balance in a room of hot pops of pink are harder than one thinks to get just right. It is coming along but still needs something. I plan to change the chairs in the centre of the room for an antique Korean wedding bed and reupholstering it with accents of pink this may just do the trick.

I think I must have to read through more design blogs for inspiration. Edtya and Company has a Valentine's Day post that assures me the colour combos are right, The Enchanted Home posts some wonderfully beautiful rooms, just check out her last post on Blue and White Jars, Greet of Belgium Pearls gives us rooms that are lovely and calm but only pops of pale pink seen there to date, Kelly at Ada and Darcy uses hot pink accents but the style is usually a little more casual feeling, the very talented Anna Spiro of Absolutely Beautiful loves pink and often mixes it boldy on unusual pieces but always grounding it with white walls and of course the most comprehensive Desire to Inspire, perhaps in their files? All of this due to the gift of a pink poodle who would have thought?

Dancing on the Rocks in Phuket

We have some 'eggy' shaped sitting rocks in our front water feature made by a Vietnamese artist out of terrazo. This lead to some fairly amusing pictures as the dancing began back at 28/10 celebrating the 40th! It started out gently enough but....























































































































dd#1 thought her skirt best expressed it all.
It amused the younger dds...
























Since there are four rocks......





















First born son thought he'd teach his moves.....













































About now the dance instructor decided they needed help.



























































I think it was wayyyyyyy too late!
