Kate and I go back a long way. I collect her bags like others collect LV. Colour makes me happy and the new KS ad campaign featuring red head Bryce Dallas Howard has certainly put a smile on my dial.
I've had my eye on the Essex Scout for a few weeks and these images have sealed the deal. It will be mine in a few weeks time!
It's with a little (ok a lot) of excitement that I share these images with you. Our home has been featured in the latest issue of Australian Women's Weekly with Anna Bligh on the cover.
A huge thank you to the following people - Catherine Shields & Simon Kenny for writing a wonderful story and capturing our home so beautifully, Judy Elliott for styling our home so it was ready for Catherine and Simon and Anna Spiro for creating such a beautiful interior for us.
I'm also going to thank my husband for working so hard to provide us with such a beautiful space in which to live and create memories in.
Our Family
With all the talk of love this week I just had to play around with my camera and photograph these edible metallic hearts I found in NY Cake and Bake. I totally dig them.
I live by this motto too. Love IS in the Details.
Enjoy!
I was up early this morning fossicking the markets looking for ripe and plump fruit for a shoot I'm collaborating on with Jodie Randolph-Birch from W.Edding & Co. tomorrow.
I took one look at the fresh raspberries and knew exactly what I was going to make with them. Raspberry Friands. And they didn't disappoint.
I just had to bake them in little heart shaped tins I bought in NYC. I could have easily found them here, but I love using things I've purchased from overseas. Brings back the best memories.
I used this recipe from Australian Women's Weekly. Oh and speaking of AWW, there maybe a little story on our home in the next issue!

I love these printables from Style Me Gorgeous for Valentines Day.
I used a cotton muslin bag and an iron on transfer and made these little love note pouches. I wrote down all the reasons why I love my children and will hand this to each of them on the 14th of this month.
I'm sure you all ohh'd and ahh'd over this Snow White inspired dessert table by Belle Amour (who incidentally won The European Sweet Table Contest 2010) as much as I did.
Earlier this week this super sweet Snow White themed party popped into my inbox via Simone Norris at inviteme. I have a little soft spot for Simone and her gorgeous invites. I used them for both Olivia's 3rd and 4th Birthdays.
As you know my favourite candy jar to use in my dessert tables is the Rosie Jar. I even used them for the Oprah hosted Baby Shower.
I wanted to be able to say thank you to you, all my readers for your support and lovely comments and emails about the Oprah event.
So I bought a heap of Rosie candy jars and I'm going to host a little special on them.
For a limited time you can purchase both the small and large Rosie jar for $50. Click here to be taken directly to this offer on my website.
The latest issue of Adore Magazine is out now and I had the pleasure of working on the High Tea feature. Lots of delicious recipes to drool over and some beautiful photography too by Naomi V.
This is my favourite image. I made mini individual orange and poppyseed cakes with lemon drizzle and passionfruit curd tartlets. The mini cake tins I purchased in New York Cake however I recently saw them at Robins Kitchen.
Thank you to Roberta from Green and Bloom Weddings for her floral arrangements and to Linda from Bubble and Sweet for making the scones, melting moments and macarons.
Also thanks to Jessica at Pen & Paperflowers for designing the queen silhouette I used on the cupcakes.

I thought you might like to see what was in the $10,000 nursery package that Bebe presented to Catherine on the day of her surprise shower.
Gorgeous, hey?
