Close - but no cigar
Felt miserable, then cheered ourselves up with a smashing afternoon-tea at Lynwood in Collector.
Our house is out there, I know, we just haven't met it yet.
When we got home extra-special cheering up was required, so we cracked open the Christmas decorations. All I need now is a super Christmas cocktail, some Frank Sinatra crooning and all will be well.

Poop in not getting the house , yours will find you eventually I hope. Those tiny stockings are very very cheery

I know how you feel on the house hunting front. The perfect house will show up, I'm sure. When my husband Will hints at moving house I tell him I'm not over the emotional trauma of the 3.5 years we looked to buy this house. Heaven forbid that it take you anywhere near that long.

The right house is out there waiting for you to find it.
Congrats on being featured on SFGirl by Bay.

Sorry to hear you missed the house, there will be another. You stepped by my great friends at Lynwood (I love it there, although its been too long between visits). Canberra used to be one of my old stomping grounds it's where I went to art school! Good luck with the house. Love those stockings!!!! xx

Oh, bummer about the house Nan. There's a lovely bungalow round the corner from here...

Oh, that stinks! OK, I'm not going to try to placate you with any of that "it just wasn't meant to be" crap, but I too am sure there is another, just as wonderful house out there. Keep that faith. Hope that cocktail and Sinatra did the trick. Oh, and most excellent high-heeled stocking garland!
