A Perfect Mess

What beautiful weather we've had. How was your weekend? I went to the markets to get my knives sharpened, buy some flowers, a bunch of rhubarb and some breakfast and the Finders Keepers were on...I did a quick lap and my faves were Emma Leonard (above) & The Story Book Rabbit.

A Berry Wool Wrapped Gift

Mothers Day gift wrapped in page torn from a Donna Hay magazine and my new kitchen.

A Slow Start

A few new house pics taken after sun set on Saturday.

Je Suis Ici

I know I've been slack lately (what have I missed?) & I know we're all busy but between moving house, cleaning my old place, Easter, cleaning my new place, having a cold, going on holidays with my family (& seeking out the best coffee), unpacking, seeking out the best coffee in our new 'hood, Mothers' Day, trying to get the house in some kind of presentable order, babysitting, helping Mr with a Masters assignment and cooking for housewarming guests...I still managed to read the whole of Pia's stunning new book beneath my lamp at night next to a sleeping Mr over a few quiet nights.

These pics are of my niece in Noosa; my Easter gift from Mr; B2's restaurant in Noosa; Asha taking to the waves in the bikini Mr and I bought her last Christmas. She's such a kamikaze for a little doll.

Doily

Beautiful doily ideas from Bliss include lace doily by Field Journal for Project Wedding and Doily envelopes by Heim. I adore this all white super modern tea party.

In Love with Fluoro.

Visit the amazing Somewhere Splendid found via the equally gorgeous Bliss.

Perfect Match

Lots of beautiful things to see at Lace & Tea and amazing letter press Save The Date matches by Twig and Thistle available here.

Cotton Bouquet

Parrot tulips, poppies & succulents or cotton and green tomatoes. So original. I adore real cotton balls. They're hard to come by, I remember searching for some for an old boss of mine for a first anniversay gift for the mrs (without luck).

Flowers (top and botttom) by Carissa Jones of JL Designs. Check out the rest of this amazing cottton loving post. Middle bouquet by Jennifer Lynne
