Friday Favourites



Scrumptious 100% cotton Australian made blankets for nurseries, snuggles on sofas or just because.

Kate & Kate Jagger blanket.

Peony season, hurrah!

Salted caramel doughnut anyone?

Tivoli Road Bakery

I know where I'll be Sunday morning waiting for these little beauties to be served hot off the press.

Happy weekend all.

Snug as a bug.....

I wish I was 5 years old again and the owner of a single bed just so I could wrap myself in these adorable sheets from Country Road. 

It's the first time this iconic Australian brand has ventured into bed linen for children and it's great to see bedding that still retains it's child like charm but kept super stylish to tie in with the rest of the home.

It's made from the softest 100% cotton, affordable and will certainly leave the little ones as snug as a bug in a rug.

I know a few little ladies who would love this.

Hello

 

Why is it so hard to say hello to a stranger?

I pass the same two people on my walk everyday and we never say hello, and I want to but I can't, it's like I'm paralysed by fear.There is an awkward sideways glance, a nervous half smile and that's it, never a hello.

Are we afraid of the outcome, worried what strangers will think or is it a cultural thing?

Take a chance and talk to someone new today, you never know a simple hello could lead to a million things!



Sugar Paper

Look I'm not claiming to be that organized that I'm writing out my Christmas cards already, in fact I'm usually the one scribbling in them on December 24. But with the silly season upon us and my addiction to Instagram I have stumbled across Sugar Paper Los Angeles who has the most exquisite stationery that I've ever seen. I don't want an explosion of green, red and Santa climbing down a chimney. I want simple, tasteful and elegant.With each card letterpress printed on antique machinery, that's exactly what Sugar Paper delivers. Head to their website and get your orders in early and make your envelopes worth opening this year! They also have stunning wrapping paper, gift cards, calendars and notepads. 

I have found paper heaven.

Spring Has Sprung

As my fingers hover over the keyboard and I think about what I'm going to write after quite an absence all that is swirling around in my head is how lovely it is to have the spring back in my step and the excitement to be back in the blogger world.

I had hit a bit of a wall the past months and with that came a complete mental block when it came to all things blog. That has passed, spring is in the air and I look forward to sharing all of my little happenings again.

Speaking of spring I must get my hands on this Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede fragrance, have you tried it? 

Heaven.
