Handmade Pretties

I've been getting a ton of emails asking about our Christmas stockings from the Better Homes & Gardens shoot. 


They had the recycled sweater stockings made for us by Lara Newsom of Handmade Pretties and & I can't get over them!!!  (We have our ratty old sentimental ones that we love for Christmas morning but these beauties are hanging on the mantle :)

We also tied some of her felt ornaments on wrapped packages:

And they're hanging in our tree too:



The boys absolutely love the sweater balls she made...

They're under our tree right now and it's fun to see the boys go in and start playing with them.  It looks like presents waiting under the tree!!  Here they are:

I know Lara is totally backed up before Christmas but if you can wait, it's so worth it!!

AND here's what the Agent said about it!


A Statement in Contemporary Elegance – a rare opportunity not to be missed!
‘Soma Residences’ are the epitome of style and designer living. Positioned in a boutique complex of just six luxury residences, this remarkable single level town home is now available for sale for the first time. A rare opportunity not to be missed!

The complex is architecturally designed to maximise stunning river city views, with wide front balconies featuring frameless glass and open corners.

This stunning three bedroom plus study penthouse, is one unique property, and an entertainer’s delight that cannot be gauged against any other. Soirees with family and friends will be the order of the day (and night!).

If the innovative interior plan maximising space, light and airflow, with a large butler’s pantry and walk-in climate controlled cellar doesn’t impress. The TWO large private roof-top terraces with breathtaking views, serviced by a lift and equipped with stainless steel mini-kitchen/barbecue facilities, outdoor pool-table and spa certainly will!

The kitchen, living, dining and media room areas are expanded with a breakfast balcony facing east, and a wide 23 sqm balcony on the western side, which gives superb cross-ventilation and a wonderful feeling of spaciousness .

NOTABLE FEATURES:
- 3 bedrooms plus study
- 2 bathrooms
- 2 car secure lock-up
- 2 large roof terraces
- 2 balconies off living areas
- air-conditioned/fans throughout
- stainless steel appliances
- stone bench tops

- extra storage in carpark
- 381sqm total area
- walking distance shops, restaurants, cinemas

Being located just a stone’s throw to the Oxford cafe/cinema precinct and City Cat is an added bonus and will have you living the dream!


WOW
