• reading a good book in a warm sunny spot
• ugg books
• fresh flowers
• time with family
• Grandma's lemon butter
• walks along the coast
• cuddles with friends babies
• home made pizza and a glass of red wine
• getting up early to enjoy that first fresh part of the day...should do this more
• marshmallows and chocolate at a bonfire
• fresh, clean sheets
• picnics
• afternoon naps
• laughing so hard your tummy hurts
• special friends that make you feel good long after you see them
• the movies (still get excited everytime)
• sunsets
• inspirational quotes
• bubble baths

Isn't this beautiful. love the colour and simpleness of the flowers in the teapot.

 

I'm in Esperance for the Easter weekend with my family and close friends. So refreshing being here. I've spent the afternoon in the sun room reading my new book and listening to the waves crashing.

 

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE:)

meet my mate

This is Tiny Tim, he's my friends Sun Conure Parrot and he's adorable. He loves cuddles and kisses. When he gets tired he snuggles into your neck and falls asleep. We've taught him to dance...he can't talk but he does make super cute noises when he gets tired or when he's happy...he squawkes when he's hungry or wants attention, loves almonds and fruit, has the most spectacular colours, is a little scared of flying, his favourite place to be is his yellow fluffy bed that hangs in his cage.

Love this little bird, would definitley reccomend them to anyone!!!!!

ps. he's even come through the Maccas drive through with us...gave the staff a good laugh:)

little bits at a time

My room is slowly starting to look how I'd like it too. Has taken me while as I'm still sorting through things at my old place and constantly bringing more over...and there is nowhere for it to go. I've had to put quite a few things in storage in my parents shed!! Anyway it may be cluttered but at least for now it's clean and neat!!!

:( sad that bottom left handle broke on my much loved Queen Anne dresser!!!

 Absolutely love this jug from the Royal Doulton butterly range.

 Cinnamon Buns bubble bath from Mecca...smells amazing and even has the recipe for cinnamon buns on the front:)

My Dad brought me this Harrods bear in London a few years ago. He's a Christmas bear but gets to stay out all year coz he's so special!!

Food Fashion Friends - Fleur Wood

Aren't these chairs just divine!!!!!! Pic from the Fleur Wood book I got for my birthday. Don't you want to just be in the picture, all dressed up, eating...and sitting on those chairs of course? All I need now is for someone to have a birthday or kitchen tea so I have an excuse to replicate!!

I'd brought this book for my friend at Christmas and it was one of those presents you really want for yourself hehe. Then she brought it for me for my birthday...she knows me well.

It is full of the most beautiful pictures and includes recipies

and lots of tips for throwing the perfect event. Definitely a book i will treasure forever.

baking - take one...

So I've decided to jump on the baking train...occasionally. Baking is not really my thing mostly because I don't particulally have a sweet tooth but I do enjoy watching other people eat and enjoy food that I have made. Last night after being inspired by Sophie from The Littlest Things I made Brookies (Brownie/Cookies). Recipie is from Bakerella and can be found here http://www.bakerella.com/i-hope-you-have-chocolate-chips-handy/.

They were so lovely served warm with a glass of cold milk. I brought the rest into work today and by 9am they had all disappeared and there were lots of email thanks coming my way:)

Sunday Bliss

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Things have been pretty full on the last few weeks. Last Sunday I had a lovely backyark picnic with my friend Loulou. It was a beautiful day. We made some lovely salad rolls and sat on a blanket in the shade of a lemon tree to enjoy each others company and eat. It was the perfect way to chill for a few hours. Wish I did things like this more often!!

We made a little friend and called him Free Willy. He kept coming really close and ever touched us a few times.
