Pretty but pricey

I like these tiny 15x15cm oil paintings by Lisa Hirst, but at 110 pounds each, I think they are a little pricey.  If they were a little larger perhaps I'd consider it?

Loving these gorgeous florals at the moment.

Hold up, wait a minute!

I could be onto something with the straws.  Looks like one of my fave stationery designers, Jack and Lulu launched some new products at the recent NY Stationery Show.

I'll track these babies down, if it's the last thing I do!  hehehehehehe (evil laugh)

New obsession :: vintage caravans

I really don't even know if I would enjoy caravanning, but these images just make me want to go. Actually, I would enjoy it, I loved any type of adventure as a child. However, I don't think my husband would fully embrace the experience. I think I'll have to work on that.
Does anyone in know of any fabulous camping parks in Queensland or Northern NSW? Don't mind if it's by the beach in the bush. Let me know if you do!

I'm getting really slack with my images, if you can let me know where I found any of the above, please drop me a line.

I'm off to pick apples

Wishing you all a wonder filled weekend.  What are you up to this weekend?

I love :: my family

We hosted a mini family reunion this past weekend with my husbands brother (Graeme) and his family visiting us from Sydney's Northern Beaches.  My father-in-law is also here at the moment, living in Zimbabwe most of the year.  My mother-in-law lives with us on our property in a separate home.

It was so lovely to have everyone together for three days.  It doesn't happen too often with Graeme and Samantha having just moved here from California.  They have just purchased a home at Bigola overlooking the Pittwater.  The view is stunning.

Anyhow, the kids got on so well and the adults chatted, sipped wine and ate some amazing food.  Thank goodness Graeme & Sam love to cook.

Here is a photo of all the children the morning they left to head back home.

Divine bedroom

I just can't stop looking at this beautiful bedroom.  It's so restful looking, classic yet just thrown together looking.  I adore raked ceilings and I'm lucky enough to have a ceiling like this in my own bedroom.  That chair is screaming out to me ......  take me home with you!  And those flowers .....  ahh it's just too divine for words.

Desperately seeking vintage drinking straws

Would anyone know where I could find some vintage drinking straws like these?  I've found some on etsy and eBay, but I really NEED the pink and white striped ones. 

Ok, I may be exagerating when I say NEED, but you get my drift.
