Sophie’s Salon and GDOs
Well, the launch of Sophie’s Salon has been just about the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. Friends from all over the world have been locating and reading copies of the book and I can’t begin to say how much I appreciate their support. I’ve had gorgeous emails from people I’ve never met who’ve been reading the book and have all sorts of interesting and lovely things to say. And some friends of mine even spotted a little girl reading it in a comfy chair in a bookshop! It’s so silly, really, that this kind of thing delights me so much. After all, what is a book for if not reading? But somehow I smile just about every time I think of someone getting to know Sophie and Melita!
Every so often a friend of mine (known on my old blog as ‘Jewel’) suggests that she and I have what we call a GDO (girl’s day out) during the school holidays. We always have a fabulous time. We’ve watched lollies being made in the city, visited bead shops and made jewelry, visited our friend Josie at the Beauty and Beyond Day Spa and had our toes painted and eaten sushi. But the one thing that is the same about every GDO is that we do our hair like this:
As you can see, I’m not as good at hairstyling as Sophie is, but I love trying!
