Tonight we are going along to watch our daughter's Rookie Fashion Show.
We are very proud that she has been at University for one year doing a diploma and three years doing her degree. She has worked very hard going in most weekends and working at home in the evenings. Victoria is thinking of doing a Post Graduate as that is often the only way to get into some of the Fashion houses in Paris and Italy, which she would ideally like to do.
Update
Oh no... I have deleted my last post by mistake.
Many thanks for visiting and wishing Victoria well with her show ~ it went really well and I hope to share some photos with you, soon.
We are driving back down to Tauranga this afternoon again, to finish the sorting, tidying and cleaning of my Family home.
If I do not have time to visit your blogs before I go away, I will do it when I get back.
Just want to wish you a very happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
What a gorgeous prop that vintage mannequin would make. Take care this weekend.

for me the weeks blow by so fast it seems I hardly get turned around and another has flown.... here it is Thursday again already tomorrow... well, actually today is now as it's just gone past midnight.....sigh....
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating for you daughter! It sounds very glamorous, not the school part though, that sounds like hard work! Have fun and your trip and be safe!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely weekend Carolyn, and that this one is not quite as exhausting as last time. Would love to see some photos from your daughters fashion show. How exciting for her to present her work.

Hi Charity,
It was a great night, we have just got back and I hope that the photos have turned out ok and I will post them on my blog, after the weekend.
Thank you so much DJ and yes, the night was really exciting ~ hard to believe our little girl has got this far! You have a good weekend to darling.
Hi Vee,
the weeks do whizz by!
I hope that you are getting your renovations and carpet all sorted.
thanks for visiting Sares.
I would never have thought that it would be so much hard work, doing what she had needed to do.
Hi Amanda,
She was lucky to show her work because they picked 22 out of about 50. I will show some photos, that is if they have turned out ok.
The lighting was not the best for taking photos, but I hope that some turned out. Will post on my blog after the weekend.
Many thanks Lynda and I hope that you have a great weekend too.

That Vintage Style Mannequin sounds like the perfect prop! Good luck to your Victoria! It sounds like she has worked so hard. Here's wishing her the best of success with her endeavors.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I'd love to see photos of your daughter's fashion show, which I know will be fabulous!! How exciting.
ReplyDeleteYes, time does have a way of flying by at times. But I agree, it just seems like it was the weekend and here there is another one around the corner!!
Safe journey.

Thanks so much TattingChic.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun show and the students had all done really well with the clothes they had designed and made.
I will share some photos when I come back.
Hi Marsha,
Yes, I will share some photos, I hope they turned out okay.
It was an exciting show and just like a real one with bright lights on the runway and music playing.
Many thanks Jodie.
That is what Victoria would love to do, so we will keep our fingers crossed that she might be able to find a good job somewhere.
Hi June,
It was a fun night out, even though we did queue up to get in and it was pouring with rain. It was great to see our little Girl had finally got to where she is.
Hugs
Carolyn

ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend, hugs
I hope your daughter's show is a success! Sorry I've been so scarce...I was away on vacation and I've been playing catch-up at work...it's really interfering with my blogging life! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Karyn
First off... love that image and the dangly jewelry! Good luck to your daughter! I'm sure she's immensely talented and fingers crossed she'll make it to one of her favorite fashion houses!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, so kind of you to visit.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely weekend too.
Hi Karyn,
The show went really well thanks and we all enjoyed it.
I should be packing up to go away, but it is so lovely to catch uo with you all. I know what you are saying about going away and then playing catch up.
Hi Haute Shopper,
I loved playing around one day taking photos of things on the dressing table.
We keep our fingers crossed for her too, as it is such a competitive and hard job to be in. We will have to see what is in store for her.
Hugs
Carolyn

I will share the Fashion show pictures soon.
