Esther – my daughter – a girl with fine taste!

I cannot believe how much older Esther looks when wearing clothes. She is such a cutie though, even with dribble dripping off her chin. I couldn’t choose between two pics today so thought I would share them both. Enjoy!

This was our view from our room at Sands Resort in Cornwall. Just perfect!

TREASURE CUPBOARD

This is my cupboard where I keep all my treasures.
The love hearts are favours from my sister’s wedding.
The Esther and William dolls are presents from my oldest friend.

Inside the cupboard is my collection of Willow figurines. I absolutely love these ornaments. The first I got from my Aunty on my 30th birthday and since then I am regularly given them by David, my Mum, my friends and family and my pupils. I even bought myself one, the twins one, I bought it when we first started IVF and kept it in a drawer until 5 attempts later we were finally successful and I became a Mummy to twins!

Inside the cupboard is a framed photo of my sister and I. I love my sister so much and miss her everyday. She lives in Australia and so we do not see each other very often at all. I dream that one day we will live in the same village by the sea and our children will become life long friends.

Inside the cupboard are china personalised Christmas baubles from Esther and William’s first Christmas. I keep them here, I keep them safe, ready for the tree next Yuletide.

Inside the cupboard are various plates, ornaments and oddities that I have collected from my pupils over the years. As a teacher I was given a lot of wine, chocolate and flowers but I was also lucky enough to be given some truly thoughtful and personal gifts and those I will treasure for always. They are, of course, in my Treasure Cupboard!
