Autumn in Sydney

Today was a perfect Autumn day in Sydney.

A sunny 21 degrees celcius and perfect to visit a market.

We took a trip to the inner city suburbs of Rozelle and Balmain and checked out the Rozelle markets.

I was in heaven.

Vintage clothing,jewellery,homewares,collectables,fresh food and so much more.

I purchased some lovely vintage clothes and a sweet necklace.

My son got a fab Ralph Lauren coat for a crazy $25.......

Had lunch outside at a great cafe, then visited the Exchange Hotel in Balmain for a cool drink.
Gorgeous interior,Old world meets parisian glamour..Loved it..

I would definetly recommend a visit to these markets, 

especially on a perfect Sydney Autumn day..xx

Thinking about Wellies..

It's getting cooler in my part of th e world and it's been quite wet lately.

I'm still trying to sort out my front garden so Wellies (rainboots)have come to mind.

I have a very sad red faded polka dot pair of wellies and they are destined to be gone.

I got to thinking, Mothers Day is just around the corner and I would be so happy to get a new pair of GLAM boots to trudge through the garden with.

Just thought I'd throw a few ideas out there,just incase anyone needed a little help in thinking of what to get their wonderful mum..xx

Have a great Sunday..

Remembering why...

Today is Good Friday.

The beginning of the Easter long weekend.

A day when many people are happy for the extra days off work and many start those long overdue DIY projects around the home.

The Easter bunny will visit and too much chocolate will be eaten.

This Easter, I'm thinking differently.

This weekend I am making a conscious effort to remember and reflect on what this time is really about.

I hope that you and your families enjoy this break together and remember why we are celebrating Easter.

God bless..xx

75 years young...

Today is a very special day.

It is my wonderful mothers birthday.

Almost 45 years ago she selected me as her daughter.

Almost 45 years ago I was given a fabulous mother.

She may not have birthed me but she surely has loved me.

She is such a great mum.

Loving,giving,caring and always there for me.

I can't believe that today she turns 75 years young.

How blessed I feel to still have my mum around.

She is super active and never sits still.

A wonderful mother and grandmother to boot.

Love you mum and thank you for choosing me..xx

Love...

Sending a little love to all my friends around this wonderful world..

Happy Valentines Day xxx

Shabby Union Jack Stool makeover..

Today I was in the mood for a little creating.

I had a plain little stool, that was yelling out for a redo.

I've admired all the gorgeous shabby styled Union Jack homewares, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I had some floral fabric scraps and plain white cotton,so to the sewing machine I went.

Such a quick and cute project.

Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I'm happy with it.

It adds a touch of shabby whimsy to my lounge.

                                    Hope you're having a relaxed Sunday..xx
