First past the post....

All the talk in the West Australian news this week has been centered around winning. The "race that stops a nation" was on Tuesday, The Melbourne Cup. There were some lucky winners, those clever enough to back Irish horses. Then there was the "hundred million lotto draw", again only a few lucky winners, four to be exact, each taking home about 27 million.
And finally the American Presidential election race, not too sure if there were any winners there. The ecomomy is in rapid decline unless the parties can come together and bring about real change.
You're probably wondering where is she going with all this? Well, if I won the big jackpot, as some did this week, I'd spend my money on a little bit of paradise in the Hamptons (houses are rather cheap at present) and fly all my friends over to vacation with me each year.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend, dream big and maybe you'll be a winner!

the Bookclub...

 

Once upon a time a group of young girls got together to broaden their minds and enjoy each others friendship...the Bookclub was formed.

Over the years the friendships were strengthened by their common bond of motherhood, a fabulous social life and love of reading.

Some of the girls have moved on, some lovely young women have joined and the friendships have blossomed and flourished over the years.

This year the Bookclub girls are celebrating 25 years of fabulous friendship and reading by attending the Ubud writers festival.

 

 

 

 

I've always tossed about the idea of having a dedicated reading room. There are so many wonderful library styles and designs ...which one to choose? Do you have a well stocked library?

I've got stacks and stacks of beautiful books but choosing the correct format to display them, that's the tricky part. At the moment, I'm loving this Hamptons living room incorporating the library.

 

 

Have a fabulous weekend. I surely will.
