And HELLO MAY
How are you all going? Today is MAY DAY and tomorrow a full moon. Are you at the howling stage, or is that just me
?
A milestone week for us, as Carl finally got to go across the road to the park near the hospital. We were beside a little lake, with a kookaburra above us in the old gum tree, and the sun shining down on us- it was a big and emotional moment...some progress toward discharge from the hospital soon, we hope. It felt very significant to be out of that ward for a moment!!

Carl at the park with me, Brooke, River and family friend Shannon ...
And, it's Mother's Day next weekend, the day to celebrate your favorite woman, or supportive person, or maybe just yourself. Like all these Hallmark occasions, it can sometimes be a difficult day as well- so, we are thinking of everyone with tenderness
If you do want some suggestions - we've got some gorgeous new Smitten pieces arriving...There's the beautiful Chilli Red fleece Grace top to brighten your day and keep you very cosy, and the cheerful Lemon Pyjama set that will illuminate any cold grey wintry morning!
We're also doing more Smitten fabric-covered belts, handmade for us in our favorite colors, have a look: Smitten Belt
They are a brilliant and easy way to style up a favourite dress you already own - add a matching belt, or a contrasting colour.
Love the Piper Poncho!
My first Smitten top & I absolutely love it & it’s on constant rotation all year round. Flattering on any body, it drapes beautifully. Can be layered or just by itself over tops, pants & skirts & dresses it does it all! I bought mine in Kale Green & it goes with everything! Will be getting another color soon!
