Press!


A big thank you to Sarah and Natalie from Real Living Magazine for selecting one of our delightful Moroccan Pouffe's in their February issue! And thanks to my darling friend Leah for spotting it first and letting me know.

And, also, in this month's Shop Til You Drop, Sara has used our lovely milk bottles and one of my favourite ginger jars in the shoot - they have come up so beautifully and has given me inspiration for an arrangement for the weekend. Luke will be so pleased to know he will be my assistant at the flower markets this weekend - bless him!

Pink Hallway Love!


I found this stand at my favourite vintage furniture store and decided on gorgeous pink for our hallway. Apologies for the poor shots - bad light this morning and the tight little nook its in has made it a little difficult! Loving the colour and so pleased with its gorgeousness! You can see the before shots below... Kellie x

Banana and Maple Syrup Pudding Recipe


Over the weekend I made a delicious dessert for Luke and myself - Banana and Maple Syrup Puddings.

Topped with thickened cream, icing sugar (I didnt have a sifter so excuse the chunky bit!) and extra maple syrup, I could have eaten 5 - I can't wait to make them again! This super easy recipe is below, these worked out perfectly and being the pretty average cook I am, this is definitely the type of recipe you can try first go even with guests coming. Enjoy!

Banana and Maple Syrup Pudding Recipe:

2 tablespoons of fine caster sugar
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 egg
50g butter
2/3 mashed banana
1/2 cup of self raising flour
Icing sugar
Thickened cream

Turn fan forced oven to 180 degrees. Mix sugar, maple syrup, egg, butter, banana and flour until combined. Place mixture into 2 x 250ml oven dishes. Bake for approx 25-30 mins (or until golden and skewer comes out clean).

Serve warm with sprinkled icing sugar, thickened cream and additional maple syrup.
