nellie and oliver: Engagement Party
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2013/12/engagement-party.html
Sunday, December 15, 2013. My wonderful friend Linda helped me with the styling/decorations and kindly lent me a lot of her props, including some beautiful picnic baskets, rugs, bunting and the beautiful drink dispensers for our beverage table. I chose the drinks (Pimm's, pink lemonade and water with lemon and mint) and bought all the ingredients, cups, straws etc but it would not have turned out so well without Linda's creativity and attention to detail. We had a few games set up for people to play - da...

nellie and oliver: September 2013
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 15, 2013. What started out as a pretty ordinary weekend turned into one I will never forget! After eight and a half years, Ben decided to pop the question! Oh, and I said yes :). And by the way, that wouldn't have been the end of the world (maybe.hehe). So I guess it's safe to say that marriage was on the mind. Still, I really didn't expect what happened next! He then said 'Wait, you said yes right? We immediately called my parents to tell them the news. They had had an agonising we...

nellie and oliver: March 2014
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Goodness me, it's been three months since I last blogged. The year is flying by, as expected, and between work and wedding planning I haven't had the energy for much else! I've taken a much needed day off work today and am enjoying it immensely. I took myself on a little shopping date, to buy new work shoes and pay off some money on our wedding rings. I also treated myself to a mani-pedi (and for some reason went with eggshell blue polish, but I'm digging it). We had a close frien...

nellie and oliver: July 2013

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Just popping in to share this wonderful short Ted talk I was lucky enough to stumble upon thanks to one of my friends sharing it on Facebook yesterday - 'How a penny made me feel like a millionaire'. I'm guilty of all of these scenarios. Hearing Tania's memories and the way she describes the richness of her childhood, despite living in circumstances I can't even begin to imagine, really struck a chord with me. I hope you get something out of it too. Sunday, July 28, 2013. We wer...

nellie and oliver: 15 thoughts I had while taking a bath tonight
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2014/07/15-thoughts-i-had-while-taking-bath.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. 15 thoughts I had while taking a bath tonight. After a long and tiring Monday I decided there was no better way to clear my head than a nice warm soak in the tub. That was until my brain decided the peace and quiet provided the perfect opportunity for a million and one random thoughts to pass through. Here are just 15 of those:. 1 Mmm this is nice. Nothing but me, the warm soapy water, the soothing scent of my candle and the dulcet sounds of Ben slaying dragons on his computer.

nellie and oliver: Back in business
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2013/10/back-in-business.html
Saturday, October 26, 2013. After over a month without a laptop I can finally blog again thanks to purchasing a shiny new Windows Surface tablet. I know what you're thinking, it's not Apple (shock horror! But this thing is seriously awesome. It has all the convenient features of a tablet but is basically a very powerful laptop as well. I can even draw on photos as it comes with a digital pen thingy. You can expect lots of that in the future. In Newcastle. Feels so good to have that locked in already.

nellie and oliver: November 2013
http://nellieandoliver.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Well the whole 'now I have a laptop I can blog again' thing didn't really go as planned! I could try and come up with some kind of excuse or go on about being 'busy' but in reality, I probably could have spent less time stalking former Big Brother contestants on Instagram and Twitter and more time blogging. In their awesome event space. It's a beautiful room with exposed bricks and lovely arched windows. Very industrial but also kind of rustic. Oh, and I've also ...I kiiiind...

nellie and oliver: August 2013

Sunday, August 25, 2013. It is an absolutely glorious day in Sydney today, with a high of 23 degrees and not a cloud to be seen. While this Winter has been quite mild, I'm still incredibly excited that Spring is only a few days away. I'm also in Spring cleaning mode and did a quick wardrobe cull this morning. I managed to fill three plastic bags of clothes I no longer wear and my shelves are looking much more orderly! I love that the little stump next to it is also blossoming - go you good thing! Now, I'...
