... Beach House Bliss


So excited.  We have bought a beach house.  It is the most serene place, it backs on to a national park and just beyond the trees is the beach - it is so close you can hear the waves.  Something we have been looking for, for a long time.  It's perfect, or will be after I dowse everything in white paint.  As Carrie Bradshaw says I have been "cheating on fashion with furniture" Ooooh it's so much fun.











.....cold but lovely in Melbourne this morning

It's cold here in Melbourne this morning, just how I like it.  I am sitting in my home office, ready to start my working day (go here if you would like to see my work), with heater on and puppy at my feet, all that's missing is my hot chocolate. Enjoy your day.

.....warmer weather picnic idea

Well it was a chilly one this morning in Melbourne, 3 degrees.  I do love the cold, but it's time now to start thinking of the warmer weather and all that it brings with it. Like picnics.  Now how fabulous is this idea.  I am definitely going do this on our next picnic. Easy, tasty and mess free, even the dressing is added.  Just tip jar upside down to mix and voila.  If you would like to see more of these cool ideas, have a look here.

..... Happy Weekend

With cold, rainy weather forecast for most of the weekend here in Melbourne, this is what I would love to be doing - snuggled up with my "apple" (and my beloved of course!) BUT sport, sport and more sport is on the agenda (as a spectator!!!), so instead I will don the "wellies" and brave the elements.   Happy weekend girls.

......last day of school holidays






Last day of school holidays here in Melbourne.  It has been nice and relaxing and although, most of Melbourne venture to the warmer climates at this time of year, I must admit I do love the cold, crisp Melbourne weather and all that goes with it - the roaring fires, the hot cocoa, the new puppy snuggling on our laps.  But I am looking forward to the beautiful blooms that are heading our way soon - only six weeks in fact.  Here are a sample of just a few.  Go here to see some more beautiful examples.  Happy week girls. x
