Pretty things

Here are some pretty things I've spotted in the last 24hrs.

First up is this pretty filigree heart lock with key from Tiffany & co. Don't you think it has an almost art deco look to it? Me likey! I've got the Love Notes heart pendant and wear it pretty much every day.

Get yours here

Sunset over our home last night!
God was obviously having fun with his water colour paints last night :)

I'm loving the footage from the Myer catwalk last night. These dresses are so pretty and Jen's hair is gorgeous!

Have you spotted any pretty things lately?

And thank you for your comments re hubby and bubby yesterday. Hubby's back at work and feeling LOTS better and we had a good night sleep last night with Bub too so feeling back to life again.

Have a great day,

These are a few of my favourite things...

I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite purchases or presents I've received that I just love. You know those things that you admire or are grateful for every time you use them? Well here are some of mine.


My friends Suzie and Tori gave me a set of these beautiful Mozi mugs for my 30th and I just love them, I always drink my tea or coffee out of them so when I saw a matching apron I bought it for William to give me for Christmas. The pattern is very ME so it makes me happy when I'm using them... check out mozi here.

We've been needing a new beach bag what with the addition of floaties, buckets and spades that are now in tow so when I saw this bag at Bed Bath n Table last week on sale for $9.95 I got it. And I'm loving it sitting here under the hall table. I can shove things into it quickly to clean up this, often a dumping ground, area.

I got these wrought iron book ends a few weeks ago from Target for the HUGE price of $11.95. I'd been on the look out for bookends to keep the area next to my side of the bed nice and neat. You know what it's like, I've got my reading books and mags and then Will brings in his story books in the morning and they were just everywhere so it's all nice and neat now and goes with the grey/silver and black theme in the bedroom.

I am loving the CK sunnies that Glen got me for Christmas. I've had a few pairs of cheapies the last few years, which was great with a little bub that likes to grab but I felt it was time to upgrade and we got Polarized lenses put in so no squinting and I love the aviator shape.

These were also a Christmas present, the Fred M-CUPS matryoshkas. I love them displayed in the kitchen on top of the little radio.

So there you have it, my current favourite things :)

I don't know about you but I've been glued to the TV watching the NZ earth quake. My goodness, it's like a nightmare and the people of Christchurch really need our thoughts and prayers right now. I hope that all my fellow bloggers and customers and your family and friends are safe and sound.

Have a lovely day everyone,





P.S. Are you on facebook? If so, I'd love you to visit my facebook page!

Things I heart this week

Here are a few things I'm loving this week...

1. The beautiful decor at some of Manly's gorgeous restaurants and bars.
Here are two examples:

China Beach

The Shore Club

2. That I bought this indexed chopping board set the other day for $12.95 and saw it yesterday for....

Yep, that's right you read correctly $99.95 - now THAT's a markup!

3. My funny, clever, tiring, demanding, entertaining, beautiful bub...

Here is Will at one of the many kids playgrounds we have been frequenting of late.

This is the toddler counting app on my iPhone which he has now learnt to play and says 'Unn, Doo...' for 1, 2 - SO CUTE!

His Baby Sign language is coming along really well and he's using it to communicate all the time. Here is the website if you're interested...

4. I'm loving that my blog friend Kerri of Driftwood Interiors is a finalist in a before and after challenge competition!!! With her fantastic Inlay Mirror below, click here to vote.

5. New mag, 'the Outdoor Room'. Its a Jamie Durie mag and it has been put together beautifully. Heaps of gorgeous inspiration for your garden. Check it out when you're next at the newsagency.


What are you loving this week? I'd love to know...

Have a great Friday,
