This week for my 'shops i love' page, I bring you another brand I saw at Top Drawer. They are called Rex International, and it is stocked at DotComGiftShop. I am loving their new retro kitchen range in a delightfully faded vintage colour palette. Among the range is shopping lists, herb jars, jam making sets and napkins. They have got a fab new enamel set of bread bins, clocks and tins. I am coveting their retro kitchen scrubbing brushes!

I am guest posting about love over at the sweet Kori's blog Blonde Episodes today, come and say hi!

Have a sweet day!

I'm Taking a Vacation...

Just a quick little check-in before I get around to my flight check-in to let you know I'm leeeeeaving, on a jet-plane... don't know when I'll be back again!

Well, ok I'll be back next Tuesday. But who knows what may happen in the meantime!

We (Dan, Fern, Elli and I) are off on our first family holiday as a family-of-four. Where, might you ask? Why, to the sunny Sunshine Coast in Queensland! Yes, there's been floods. Yes, there is a catastrophic cyclone literally on its way. But nothing is standing in the way of me and this holiday! It's been a while, you see. And we really, really need to get away as a family.

We're staying in an apartment that overlooks Mooloolabah beach and darn it if I am not going to curl my toes in the soft sand by this time tomorrow! Ok, I live 6 minutes away from a beach now, but have I been even once this Summer?!)

If you need me, I'll be sunny side up on a deckchair in my polka-dot bikini.. with, or without an umbrella!

See you next week with the launch of my brand new business! Promise! xx

ps. As I write, cyclone Yasi is yet to hit far North QLD. I can only imagine how it must feel and what you must be going through as you bunker down and await the storm. Just know that the rest of Australia is thinking about you, and praying for you. God bless...

First day





Cancer Sucks!



BIG TIME!!!
Thinking of a dear friend who has just had the awful confirmation.
Its just not fair.
My heart goes out to her, her family and her sweet little girl!


Yellow and Grey

Yellow is such a lovely fresh colour that can make you smile all year round.
I have noticed it popping up recently with a hint of grey - there is something very modern and fresh about it.  Enjoy a lovely collection of all things yellow and the occasional hint of grey!
