A busy week...


How was your week? Mine was busy but good.

By day I have been flat chat with my 'serious' job. By night, I have been doing the job i adore and that is all me - sourcing goods, working on the text for my site, still deciding on what SLR camera and lenses to get and making time for my lovely husband and two gorgeous puppy dogs. I wish someone would listen to my request for more hours in the day!

This weekend we are heading off for a weekend of relaxation and if I get my way, a bit of vintage shopping too. And, a lovely bottle of wine. Maybe two. Kellie xx

Mirror mirror on the wall...


Mirrored furniture and an antique mirror to match. What a gorgeous combination. Romantic, homely and glamourous all in one. Kellie xx

A Lily & Molly update...


I realised it has been a while since I posted about Lily and Molly and how they have been going. They play with each other all the time, wrestle, sleep, wrestle sleep. It's very sweet to see what great buddies they are.

I have been telling the girls all week that they are going on holidays with us this weekend to a gorgeous pet friendly place. How fabulous. Lot's of sniffing to be had. They can't wait. Kellie xx

A gorgeous bedroom and a familiar fabric!


What a gorgeous bedroom. I can't help but admire that stunning bed linen, headboard and gorgeous blooms. Of course, what I most adored was the stunning fabric on that table, familiar? Yep, it's the same one that i'll be using on my antique chair {here}! It's divine in this colour too isn't it... Kellie xx

DIY: Decorating a gift with a fabric flower...


I always love to find new ways to wrap gifts. Whilst these little beauties are initially wrapped in a simple paper bag, their look is magnified with handmade flowers simply stitched together.

I seem to have lots of little bits of fabric around my home and they are never quite big enough to do much with - what a divine use for them! I must now get some coloured cotton together and get cracking! Stay tuned for some oh so pretty gifts! Kellie xx

Antique chairs

This chair I will get painted in a simple classic white with the gorgeous black, mauve and gold fabric.


The B/W combination (again....)


Ah there is really nothing like blue and white with pops of pink! Stunning! And ginger jars.... So gorgeous. Always sourcing high and low for new and different ones. My husband just rolls his eyes, even my friends who previously no idea what a ginger jar was now let me know when the see one and they say "I saw a ginger jar on the weekend that you would love!"

Fabulous to see i'm wearing off on people around me! Not sure whether that is a good or a bad thing... Kellie xx

Yellow and pink and an hour of bliss


The sun is shining this morning, even (according to weather reports) if it's only for just a little itsy bitsy amount of time... Rain and crazy wind is on it's way... Time to read the paper and sit outside with a cup of tea.

That gorgeous yellow and splash of pink is perfect for this morning. Such a darling bedroom! Kellie xx

Ps. For all my lovely Sydney readers we ate at Red Lantern (Vietnamese in Surry Hills) last night and the food was just delightful! We ordered the banquet and were not disappointed. And they had my favourite David Hook wine on the wine list - always a winner in my book. xxx
