Pinterest - I heart you :)

I am lost for words this week lovely readers - hopefully you are still out there? I seem to be in automatic pilot at the moment just moving through the motions, working my night shifts, family and life in general - you know how it is? We are going away next week for the first time since the little man was born and both my husband and I are seriously excited. The thought of going for walks on the beach, eating at the odd cafe, drinking wine and playing boardgames in the evening sounds so appealing. In fact who am I kidding, I don't want to play board games, I just want to sleep! :)

Anyway, as usual I digress. Let's talk pinterest and take a look at the pics I LOVE this week.




How happy is this little guy? I adore this photo ..... My little man is growing some seriously cute bushy eyebrows like this little fella too :)



I love this lamp. I want it, need it and have no idea where to get it :(



I love this living space for so many reasons but mainly the fact that it is neat, tidy and toy free!
I cannot see one truck or mega blok hiding underneath that couch ;)



I love these shoes from JCrew ...



Seriously loving this couch - love the use of vintage fabric and colour. Give me lots of colour people!

 

Lucky we don't have a bed like this - after a night shift, I doubt I would ever get up!



I wouldn't get out of this bed either :)



I am not too sure whether Olivia and I have much in common, but I love her sense of style. In fact, my legs look just like Olivia's in a hairy, stumpy kind of way :) ....



And lastly, I could so eat this torte with a strong coffee right now!

Hope you enjoyed imagining - pinterest, I salute you. Have you got any good pinterest shots you want to share with me?

Alexander Henry & The Family Love Tree....

I have found the perfect fabric for my little cherry red wicker chair - 'La Paloma in tea' by Alexander Henry. It has only taken me months! I found this fabric online at Funky Fabrix here in Brisbane but of course, they no longer have it in stock :(

Any ideas friends where else I might be able to source it?
I thought this fabric looked very Anna Spiro.... do you think that she would approve?

Speaking of beautiful fabrics and Peacock Chairs, I was in heaven yesterday when I received a newsletter from Katie at The Family Love Tree. Browsing through her online store, I found the following items that brought a small tear to my eye - so many beautiful things, all perfectly located in the one online store - perfection! They would look perfect in our little house, if only we didn't live in a shoe box - a cute little shoe box at that.

How amazing is this bedhead?

They even sell these beautiful wicker chairs for children!



I also have my eye on one of these macrame plant holders - perfect for indoor plants.Yep, I need me one of these!



All of the above mentioned items can be found at The Family Love Tree - just click on the link and purchase your little heart out :)

Weekends...

It has been too long in between posts, I know. We seem to chug through our Internet usage at the start of the month, which pretty much leaves us with minimal download time half way through.

We seriously need to review our Internet plan. I have missed my blog and pinterest and intend to make up for lost time.

We have had a beautiful weekend soaking up the sunshine and enjoying our time outdoors.

My freesia bulbs are flowering and the little man has enjoyed having a swing and looking up at the sky through the branches of our enormous mango tree.

We are now also the proud owners of one of the cutest picnic tables for little kids. Thanks to the Tiny Tables Company, we have been enjoying having our snacks outside.

I can't believe it is the beginning of another week! I hope you have all been well.

Spring wardrobe inspiration.....

These beautiful pictures have left me thinking about some purchases I would like to make for my spring wardrobe. Lol.... when I write it like that it makes it sound as if I have quite an extensive collection of clothing - quite the opposite I am afraid. A girl can dream though can't she :)

Happy Monday!

Monday Pinterest...

I know I say it every week, but my goodness winter in Brisbane is just lovely. The sun is just gorgeous during the day and we have found ourselves spending more and more time outside. Just you wait, in another couple of months I will be complaining to no end about the heat!
As usual I continue to day dream about all the things I want to do with our garden. I will post some pics soon. Things are coming together slowly but surely. I have nearly finished painting the back fence (it has only taken me nearly three months!) and I ordered a very cute 'mini' picnic table for the little man which should arrive later this week. I will post more details about this purchase when it arrives safely. In the meantime, let's all take a big deep breath and look to our friends at pinterest for some much needed garden inspiration. If you are feeling a little emotional today, I suggest you read this post later. These pictures are beautiful (of course) and may well make you cry :)

P.S. I have spray painted my little wicker chair red and it looks fab! Now I just to get my friend to cover the cushion and I will be ready to post some pics. As usual, so many half completed projects to keep the creative juices flowing, but no time to actually complete them!
