Glass Bottles and Old Books

Kewpie Doll

Yet the look and feel of an old book just fills my heart with delight, so it was not long before I found ways to line my stark white bookshelves with little touches of nostalgia, which bring part of my families history alive and into our everyday living.

Book Nostalgia I love my MacBook Air and have even succumbed to using a kindle, but nothing will replace a lovely old book in my heart or home. Linking with   A Daily Cup of Mrs Olsen  Sorted with Style

My Dala Horses

We recently returned from a wonderful trip through Scandinavia. Whist in Sweden I bought these gorgeous little Dala horses.

Dala Horses from Tone & Tone Antiques

I just love the simple lines and natural tones of Scandinavian design and now I want an entire  collection of these gorgeous horses.

Dala Horses from Silly Jilly

I think what I enjoy most about travelling is the unexpected joy of new discoveries and experiences that we bring home with us.

For my son's 10th Birthday we decided to host a Spy Party, which proved a real hit!!

The show brings back so many wonderful childhood memories of fairy floss, Kewpie dolls and Toffee apples

But what I think we love the most is the fact that we get to experience a little of the country life in the city, the smell of the hay, the tiny ducklings and those all too adorable sleepy piglets!

 It may be the start of Autumn here in Sydney but you could certainly be forgiven for thinking it was Spring.The sky is blue, the flowers are blooming and there is signs of new life everywhere you look.



My favourites are the tiny little daffodil bulbs that last throughout the entire Easter week

 I love the simplicity and joy of Easter. It is a celebration of  new life, freshness and  pureness!
 Whilst the chocolate bunnies are embraced enthusiastically by our household on Easter Sunday, beyond
 the chocolate is the excuse to refresh the house with beautiful posies and fresh pastel colours.
 Easter for us is a time to relax and re energize.  To set the easter table, prepare an easter tree and delight in  making a mess dying eggs.



Unfortunately in recent years the new wax coating that they have been applying onto our eggs has somewhat hindered the effects of our egg dying practices. Sourcing eggs straight from the farmyard is no easy feat, even when visiting the local markets. ( so called fresh eggs miraculously still had that waxed coating!!!!!)


For me the humble egg is such a perfect package. It looks fabulous sitting in an eggcup. used as a centerpiece or initialed as a place card, I  just have to be careful not to get  eggstremely carried away!!!
