tea time

anytime is teatime at our place..


combining our love of tea and to celebrate the start of spring this week, i redecorated our old dresser - you might remember i found this thrown out of it's original kitchen and abandoned across the road from here.
the aqua blues, pinks and fresh white daisies have given it new life. 

have a happy day!


i hope everyone is safe on the US east coast!

the great outdoors

spring is definitely in the air here in sydney today... sun shining, clear skies and longer days have got me thinking about warmer times ahead relaxing and eating outdoors..

maybe a candlelit dinner on the water..

relaxing on a wide balcony

drinks by the pool?

too early for christmas..
but i just love this simple white setting at
rockridge palm beach

perhaps dinner on a tropical beach..

or just hanging out in a hammock

hmmm...i can't decide
which one would you choose?

i'm sure many of our friends in the northern hemisphere are enjoying slightly cooler weather.

wherever in the world you are have a relaxing weekend!

shabby beachy chic

hi ..
hope you had a good weekend.


i quickly took these photos after i washed the covers of our big old sofa, a huge job i don't enjoy, but so worth it when it's done. 
we have another two seater the same in need of a new cover.. ebay bargain finds - both were pretty shabby, but chic :), solid, good quality and really comfy. a favourite place for an afternoon snooze. i had some slip covers made, got rid of the old back cushions and replaced with some white and blue and white striped ones.
adding a bit of aqua to the room has also brightened things up and it's amazing how a bunch of white daises? crysanthimums? adds life to a room. whatever they are i love them and they last for ages.

have a great week!

market collections

hello..


i was so happy to stumble upon the gorgeous market collections at bondi beach last weekend and thought you'd enjoy a peek inside. i was disappointed when the original shop closed and didn't realise it had reopened further up the road. 


it's owned by wendy heather, an australian fashion designer. i love her unique style with a combination of vintage, rustic & new homewares sourced from here in australia and her travels all over the world. 
so much beauty in one place!

natural wonders

hi beach lovers..
hope everyone had a nice weekend

a few years ago i bought this cavallini & co calendar when it was going out of date with the intention of framing the pages. you might remember this ..it's taken me a while to get around to adding more. i love these antique style sea life prints with french script, and an environmentally friendly way to have some coral in the home.  



i sanded the dark timber colour frames that i bought, painted them with quite a few coats of white paint then cut the prints to fit. 
not sure where these will hang, but for now i like them on our fireplace mantle.
