The Sun will come out tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar that Tomorrow there’ll be sunshine 🎶🎵I woke this morning to the beautiful rain and did the Facebook family check in - here’s my 4year old great niece singing from her car seat with her mother that wee gem from Annie.I completely went back in time to a night at the theatre with my own Miss, who would have been 8 or 9… Singing louder as each song in the show came along. We were whispering to her, you can’t sing too, people have paid to hear the actors sing not you. The lady in front turned...

I've been told this week that my sense of humour is special… totally referring to the shop window and centre stands where I have a traffic light colour scheme going on. Not going to lie, it's been a tough week, and I know I'm not feeling it alone. To navigate thru a shop full to the top of beautiful clothing and shoes I'm not going to let a traffic light stay on red too much longer… after all, green is one of my favourite colours, especially the Jelly Bean Green that the dress in the window is! 🤗👗We’ve been vertically...

What’s your Tangle?
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
As I’ve been plotting a cunning plan forward for Gabriel’s Fashions and Midnight Ivy. 🤗 (We are joining the shops point of sale so we can deal with lockdowns online for Midnight Ivy in Gabriels online shop as a portal)It got me thinking… I have my fav nightie, I know I’m a nightie girl but my daughter is PJ’s all the way – She used to tell me when she was little “Don’t Tangle me” when I would try giving her nighties to put on.What do you prefer? PJ’s or Nighties… and then Shortie PJ’s or long, Chamise or nightshirt...

Stumbling blocks or stepping stones
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
I spent a little time in the garden over the weekend. As I clambered about the rocks in the pond that holds no water, the reality of current life hit me. These rocks were in my way, and not how I want them exactly, a bit hard and non-negotiable, lots I couldn’t see. I certainly couldn’t move thru them. So because I had fallen down, I sat there with a little bit of a sulk on, (ok I admit I was feeling pretty angry and frustrated) I decided I needed to attack them in a different way. Turn the stumbling...

The Golden Hour 🌤🌙
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
Have you ever tried to walk a little fluffy Black dog in the dark?I once read the hour before sun up and the hour of sunset was referred to as the Golden hour… Just going to say it didn't feel like that Monday morning… but by this morning the birds had got the memo and the beauty of daybreak was restored. The helpers (Lilly Dog and Lacey Cat) were also back on track with their early morning antics, and once the cat stopped bossing the dog, I actually took a moment to sit with her and watch the morning gain...

Week of remembrance ❤️🌹
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
It's the week of remembrance, its red week, poppy week, the week we show respect to those who gave then, for us to now have now, it's the week we make wreaths, and it's the week I rememberer my Nana, it's her birthday 25th April. She was that wise old owl that looked over us, and I'm sure she still does, but more to her nature, to me she’s the little fantail that flits along with me and our dog when I'm walking around our lake. I wanted to write something about our new vests that had arrived this week...

Merino like never before.I've had a bit of a floor d robe going on this past couple of weeks my bags been exploding over the floor and being repacked with all my coming and going, but as I surveyed the situation I realised I'm very much a this goes with that...

April's spots 😍
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
April 🤭🍂 I looked out the window this morning with my coffee in hand and actually noticed the trees are changing their colour. Last year I was taking in the colourful branches as I was trimming them trying to keep busy. This year there's no need to try keep busy I'm feeling like the ground keeps shifting under me.I want to thank my team for being amazing and for looking out for us so well. Last week I got that call no daughter wants, the one that sends you driving home as your parent navigates a trip to ICU (where...

I feel like I've been MIA these last 2 weeks… I haven’t really but my butt has been placed at the end of my desk more than my feet on the floor in the shop. I'm not really a sitting person! Placing orders for next Summer after 2 weeks picking out beautiful shoes and clothing for next year has got me excited for all the lovely colour out there, and receiving orders and doing the entering of them for the approaching Autumn Winter…has got me appreciating the lovely colours for these coming months. It's so refreshing to have colour around...
