I hope you enjoyed this little tour, and are having a lovely weekend too. I'm off now to snuggle in under my favourite blanket and read some decorating magazines for the afternoon! *sigh* I love Winter... Love Amanda xxx

Amanda, Your mother's home is simply gorgeous. I'm sitting here in bed with my lap top, next to my snoring hubby. He has the radio playing tropical fun music. It fits perfectly with your pictures. This is fun. I feel like I've been to Disney Land and gone swimming on a beautiful day just from visiting your blog. I hope you are feeling better. Good night dear friend. Kathi
I'm so glad to read your post because I can tell you are feeling so much better.
Your mother's home reminds me so much of where I grew up. I love the bright yellows she has, and that tapestry is beautiful.
We had orchid trees in South Florida. Do you have those there?
Your Mother's entrance is magical! Just calling to you to enter this tropical oasis.
I am glad you are getting a much needed break in temps. Just curious......what are you winter temps like? I imagine with all that lush tropical vegetation, it just couldn't got too low. Do get in the 40's at night ever? Sorry don't know what the centigrade equivalent is .....I will have to look that up!
Enjoy Winter! ((hugs)) Rosie

You have to be kidding..you have flowers in winter???? Do you remember the 40 inches of snow we had this year....I am so jealous!I am glad you are feeling better and am glad it was not too serious. Dianntha
Amanda, your mothers home is so bright and beautiful! It does not look like winter there, it looks like a wonderful tropical paradise. I would love to spend vacaction there!

What a lovely home. I love love LOVE that she used such a wonderful bright yellow on those walls.
Thanks for the lovely tour.
(I especially enjoyed seeing the plants outside. It seems to me that there are lots of desert type plants in Australia, and not so many ... I don't know ... rain foresty? plants? but I enjoy succulents so I enjoyed seeing these.)
Is your leg still all better?
Hugs!
