yummy treat...

these are my favourite things to eat when i feel like a really sweet treat, White chocolate raspberry balls, they are best when brought from myer or david jones food falls, but are really great from the market too. I feel like some right now. It took a lot of will power to get these two home to photograph but its worth it just to share.

velvet

In winter i like to wear lots of lovely textures, currently i really like cordoruy and velvet, i've been lucky enough to find both in op-shops all around town. I got two great old, lovely velvet skirts in black and burgundy and some really good cordoury pants. I also found this great bow tie, I want to attach it to a hair clip, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Today is also our brothers Birthday, so happy birthday to him. He likes this time of year alot, becuase it seems like he is only one year younger than me but really it more like 15 months, when you figure it out properly.

little animals

I found these marble animal figurines at the op-shop a while ago, and they quickly became my favourites, i later found the penguin and added it to the collection. I broke the dog almost immediately but it still sits together fine. I really like the donkey, he looks quite sad, but strangely content.

nothing but flowers...

I have developed a huge love of flowers, currently in my room i have 7 vases full, some fake, some real, some made some brought. some people might find it a little much but on these gray overcast days I'm finding them very comforting.

winter warmth

I struck it really lucky at the op-shops during the summer wind down months, These flannelete sheets were sitting on the shelf, still wrapped in their original packaging, and with two in the pack, Claire and I both got one each. I Love flannel sheets, they warm up a bed so nicely, and with Claire currently recovering from having her wisdom teeth removed, I'm sure she is enjoying them too.

sorry...

Blogging and me haven't been going very well lately, i have been thinking about it alot but haven't really found the time to do any, hopefully today marks a change, and blogging will be happening a whole lot more from now on. Yesterday I had a rare day off and managed to fit in a little op-shopping, i found these little lovelies, doileys. which i love love love. there is something so satisfying to me about these little crocheted glories, i like their shape, their pattern and their use. I have too many but these were way to good to pass up, one day i will have a big house and these will cover every surface, maybe!
