    I seem to have an eye for jugs at the moment, which may explain why these caught my eye. Beautiful, right? I just love the shape of the milk jug (bottom left). These are by Dorthe Hybel a Danish Ceramics Designer and in Australia you can buy them from Elevate Design.

    I am shamelessly plugging Blogging for Bliss by Tara Frey which,  by the way, I haven’t read… does that make sense? Well, kind of, you see lovely Eileen over at bluebirdluxe is running a competition to win this book and I’m trying to check the boxes. Leave a comment (check), blog about it (check) and…

    So here’s a new one for me this year. I’ve decided to combine two things I love in a weekly post. My first love is colour and I’m sure every creative soul out there would feel the same. Do you stumble when someone asks you what your favourite colour is? I dedicated almost two years…

    So a new day is dawning my blog world. I have occupied this space for over 2 years now with no other reason than to find inspiration. I read an article somewhere that recommended keeping a blog for just that reason. It would have been so easy to scoff at that advice but instead I…

    I just wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to my oldest friend in the world. It’s quite rare these days that you can boast of knowing someone for 37 years. We grew up in a small outback town, went to university in different cities, lived at opposite ends of the earth on more that one…

    No matter how I word the title today it just sounds wrong. Currently it would make me seem like the green-eyed monster, which I’m not. Previously I had stated simply what they are – Green Jugs – but there was something not quite right about that either. I love the colour green and it really…

    I am not what you would call a dedicated follower of fashion but I do love bags! While bidding on eBay for this one – the red plait poppet by Louenhide I went searching for other stockists of Louenhide bags. This is how I stumbled across Birdsnest and found a top so cute that I…

    As the boys would say… 6 sleeps to go! Between the advent calendar and the counting of sleeps they are getting very excited about Christmas. School is now over for the year and our tradition of baking and creating for our friends is all done. The last of our little Christmas treats left the house…

    The silly season is upon us and moving at lightning speed this year. Our tree is yet to be purchased and even though December 1st has past we tend to do things later in our house. Mostly because we like to buy live trees. We also have a tradition of adding 3 new Christmas decorations…
