Hello my darlings and a very Happy New Year to you !! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you feel bright eyed, bushy tailed, and ready to take on 2011!
We are just back from heavenly Shoal Bay and we are all feeling great after ten days in what we refer to as 'Heaven on Earth'! (Google 'Shoal Bay Pictures' and you'll see why I am feeling so blissfully relaxed right now!) We've spent almost every moment outside - either in or on the water. Sheer divinity!
Though we are home again I will need the rest of the week to get back into the groove of things and hope you forgive me if I don't reveal the winners of the 'give-away' until the weekend. xx
I've missed you all but have have enjoyed your posts via my iPhone whilst away. Once I have conquered the impending post-holiday chores, I look forward to catching up with all of you properly.
Until then..
xx Charlotta
Glad to hear you had a wonderful time and yes, after looking at the photos I can see why!

Welcome back! Your holiday sounds wonderful, taking advantage of the tropical bliss...
ReplyDeleteHappy 2011 Charlotta!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time and I can understand why as we have a beach house on the opposite side of Port Stephens, in Hawks Nest!
Unfortunately this year we didnt make it back there for Christmas (which we usually do), but stayed home in London for a white xmas.
Welcome back!
xx
Welcome Home! Sounds like a perfect getaway, look forward to hearing all about it once you've caught up and are back in the groove of life.
ReplyDeleteI'm an interior designer from Melbourne, Australia - I loved your blog, I found it very inspiring. This is all new to me but I have just set up my own blog
ReplyDeletescrapbook-melissah.blogspot.com
You may like to check it out because I had so much fun doing it. It's got a bit of everything fashion, interiors, food, travel spots - hopefully you will find something in there that you like.
Thanks for providing me with such great entertainment!
Cheers
Melissah
Welcome back dear sis. You have been missed!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how relaxed and content you are (and I am sure your legs are beautifully tanned - what a concept!).
Don't stress now. Everybody took good breaks away from blog land during the winter break. You have not missed too much.
Love to you all.

Your holiday sounds glorious but lovely to have you back in the blogosphere! Isn't it amazing what a little break away can do for one's enthusiasm and morale? Holidays are such a necessary part of life to function fabulously - I reckon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely holiday. Happy new year a big hug from me!!!
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a fabulous time!!! that is great!!! Wishing you the very very best for 2011... look forward to getting to know you more...!! best,se
ReplyDeleteWelcome back...what a heavenly spot!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, welcome back, hope you had a fabulous time! You were missed!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, dear Charlotta - you have been missed, but I am so pleased you had a wonderful holiday! The tropicalness of it all is warming my bones just by reading (as you know UK January's are not the most topical of climes!).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hang out and share inspiration here in blogland during 2011. Hugs. xo
Gorgeous images! Glad to hear you had fun! Have a beautiful day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeletewelcome back doll!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back and hope you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI have a great giveaway going on. Why don't you come and enter?
OMG!!! What a dream place. Sooo jealous. Snow is moving in here which I know will shut down my road. I want to be there!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!

Oh goody goody! I was so excited to see you in my inbox :) I thought of writing you the other day, but chose against it as I didn't want you to have to open or respond to anything in the middle of travel!! I am doing the opposite. We just found out that we will be snowed/iced in for a 3rd day off from school! Sleeping in is getting to be quite the habit. I can't really complain about that :) I think everyone is slow to emerge from their slumber this winter, but that's okay with me. I'm usually last to know or go anywhere, esp in blog land, so it's nice that I feel somewhat caught up! I am such a water baby, I am envious and so happy for you all rolled into one sweet sentiment :D Take time to unpack, it too should be a ritual! XO, Kelly
ReplyDeleteThrilled to have you back!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely holiday! Welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Charlotta! I had a fantastic holiday break and hope yours was great as well!
ReplyDeleteSweet friend!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you feel all relaxed!
Also feeling very excited about the giveaway...

Ps. Blev väldigt nyfiken på din inbjudan att slå följe på er inplanderade 'Detox', MEN tvivlar på att jag idag har karaktär nog att genomföra något sådant. Om du får tid över kan du väl maila mig lite mer om vad det innebär:)!
ReplyDeleteTack och Kram!
Ha det jättebra!

ReplyDeleteHi dear, just checking to see if you've unpacked yet :) I've got to go to bed. Middle of the night when all is quiet seems to be so productive. Just can't do it ALL the time! XO
