Things I love....my view


This is what I am looking at right now - my view from my PC....the tree will change a lot over the year (where is that rake ?) but for now, it definitely is a beautiful green outlook. This is taken from my desk in the "home office" which is undergoing a mini renovation (thanks Ikea). You cant see it under the boxes right now, so when it surfaces I will share some more pics...Have a great week. xx

Things I love...polkadots

It's no secret how much I love polkadots....sweet, fun and timeless... they can be modern, classic or retro all at the same time. I obviously gravitate to them as I have so many favourite spotted finds - here are some of them. Gertie and Me bunnies. These are the BEST soft toys around - so unbelieveably adorable. I have found many excuses to buy these over the last couple of years - I think my kids have about six different ones between them. See them also at one of our stockists The Hip Infant.
Huckleberry Lane PJs - we have lots of these soft cuddly numbers !! Check out that nightie - could you not die ? Sam has it in pink and aqua. It looks so adorable on (and I have been told that it just wouldn't look as good on me). They have a beautiful range - My other favourite is the vintage aeroplane design for boys.

Red Polkadot Fabric Bunting from Festoon. Lovely thick double-sided quality.

Strawberries and Cream Bunting from Giggleberry Creations. This one is a best seller.

Would you believe Santa bought me this for Christmas ? I just HAD to have it. No reason. I just had to - My daughter has hundreds of tea sets, so this one is especially for me. I justified it thinking it might come in handy for photo styling sometime in the future. It is from T2 Tea and it all came in a red picnic basket.

Cupcake wrappers from The Cupcake Wrapper Co - often my cupcakes can look a bit dishevelled after coming out of the oven, so with some well placed icing and these little wrappers you can end up with a great finished look (and easily...).

Cupcake patty cases from The Cupcake Courier. Oh and incidentally, these would look very sweet alongside some Sambellina partyware for your next little occasion (I had to throw in a plug for our own polkadot goodness, didn't I ? )....xx Kate

Things I love...jewellery

One of the best things about starting a business, is discovering an amazing world of other people doing "their own thing", pouring out gorgeous creations for me to get my little hands on. Here are two of my favourites (and I hope to find time to post about lots more) - My beautiful Koolaman Designs silver necklace - whipped up for me by Lisa and Stacey at Magnolia Square. I have barely taken it off since. Its like wearing my heart around my neck. It is on an 80cm long chain, with tags for my hubby and our wedding anniversary, both of my babies and their birthdays and my puppy. I seriously LOVE it ! Plenty of other stylish designs also available - you can buy online here. xMy other favourite necklace is my sterling silver heart necklace made for me by my very clever mother in law. She designs and makes all sorts of customised silver hearts and one-of-a-kind Pandora style glass beads (all inspired by Australian landscapes). Her attention to detail on every piece is always perfect. Have a peek over here at Etsy at her lovely pieces..
