a bumbo...


I've just got a Bumbo baby seat for my youngest. These are great, so handy and portable. He loves that he can sit upright and do things with his hands, see his world from a different position. I now realise I should have got one for my others as he loves it.

aprons...




I'm loving aprons at the moment. There are some wonderful prints out there. I have a few that have been lost and found in the linen cupboard and have recently been revived! I had forgotten how handy they were but mine are quite plain, so I'm going to expand my collection. These are a few of my favourites.

a desk...


I'd like a desk like this one, not too perfect, not too messy, just nicely organised. A great inspiration board above and a lamp that's not a desk lamp.

party pom poms...


Aren't these pom poms great for a party? My little one is turning 1 soon so there's a great excuse to make these. This has got me started, my mind is now not going to stop. It all starts with one picture and then it leads to a sleepless night!

twin beds...


While I'm on the subject of Jenny Lind, here are some twin beds. My two girls are sharing a room and I'm constantly looking for inspirations in decorating their room. I'm going to put this one in my ideas folder.

gorgeous nursery...


This little nursery is just gorgeous. I love Jenny Lind style cots and the curtains made from Liberty print fabric. This apartment belongs to Joelle Hoverson the crafty owner of Purl Soho. Check out more of her apartment here and buy the Liberty print here.

ricotta doughnuts...


Mmmm. I found these doughnuts quite by accident this afternoon. Just having some time to read my favourite blogs today has been good therapy after a busy week, I'm going to try these.

weekend wishes...



Wouldn't this be a nice way to begin the weekend? A brunch by the pool followed with an afternoon swim. Shame our weather is too cool this time of the year. Love the blow up doughnuts in the pool.

my perfect home...






This is a home I'd die for. A great layout, so much light, seamless outdoor/indoor living. A beautiful frangapani tree and what a bath! Artist Marcella Kaspar was the owner of this three story home, you can see her paintings throughout the home. Aahh one day.
