A little bit of pretty ....

I have been inspired by Emily over at the Beetle Shack. She had purchased these 'baubles' (not sure what else to call them?) and used them as terrariums - filling them with moss which looked amazingly effective. She had also had baubles hanging over her kitchen table which I thought was dreadfully cute. So, after doing some research I was able to locate and purchase these lovely baubles from Mr. Sparrow - what a gorgeous little online shop! I decided to chop these pink beauties from our hibiscus hedge and stick the baubles to our kitchen ceiling. The effect with the french doors to the deck open and the winter sunlight streaming into our little kitchen is lovely - although, there has not been much sunlight here of late! I have been desperately trying to inject a little bit of colour into our home with all this dreary weather we are experiencing here in Brisbane.

We have had a busy couple of weeks in my little family, what with work and entertaining a toddler indoors with all this rain. With some time to myself this morning, I thought I would catch up on my blogging and take a sneak peak at pinterest. This morning I have found myself longing for spring, cake (although I long for that irrespective of dreary weather) and the smell of beautiful flowers. Today I am longing for a just a little bit of  'pretty' .....

Is it just me or do you ever crave a little bit of 'pretty' in your day?
