It's been just over 1 month since my last post and as usual time seems to have flown by! Busy days and weeks just keep on coming at us all but I must say, it's amazing what a couple of days away can do for your spirits. We just spent the weekend at my cousin's beach side house in Northern New South Wales and I feel like I've been away for a week!! Sometimes I forget how great a mini-break can make you feel. The humdrum of daily life can be totally revived by just a couple of days away in a place you don't often visit.
On such trips I love to bring home a few little goodies and being that I am totally captivated by Australian natives I couldn't help but snap a couple of branches off the beautiful big old banksia tree my cousin has in his front yard. I arranged the large haul in a couple of vases which I placed on our fireplace mantel. It's hard not to notice the natural beauty as you walk in the front door of our house. I love that I can be reminded of these past few days as I look at the beautiful banksia flanking our mantel.
In shop news, we have had a lot of beautiful new treasures arrive. If you visit the store on a Saturday you may have seen me in there with Max, my naughty yet spirited 2 year old. It is always a demented hour or 2 that we spend in the store on a Saturday morning. But I do love Saturdays in the shop. There is such a nice casual vibe and I love having time to chat with you all.
As you can see above we have some beautiful new cushions and a very special vintage framed Indian skirt in our back lounge room and we also just had a new delivery of the fabulous acrylic LOVESTAR love heart vases as below. They can be hung on the wall or placed on a table and look fabulous when filled with fresh flowers!
Talking about out back lounge room at the store, if you haven't been in lately here's a little peek into our world {above}.
We have also been busy decorating some beautiful houses. Here's a snapshot of a bedroom we finished for some clients last week.
I also recently hung a large art cluster wall at my parent's house. Lots of old treasured pictures, a couple of which belonged to my great grandmother are now up and being admired by all who see them.
I think that brings you up to speed but keep checking my instagram for more up-to-date info and pictures!!
