Creamy roast butternut pumpkin is served

I  couldnt believe my luck today when i walked past a thrift shop and this soup serving bowl was on a table out the front for $8 what a bargain.

I love the colours they are so me, and of course the roses on the front and back.

The beautiful detail of the handles...

You have to excuse this freelaoding fly thats the heat of australia for you lol.

I have another soup server thats shaped like a pumpkin, so i think that one will have to go on ebay to make room for my new beautiful. Have a great weekend..

Made in france

I love the detail and the colour

Some time back I was browsing through ebay at wine glasses and came across pink swirl glasses that were made in france. I fell in love with them and threw a bid on. I missed out on the glasses as the bids were way to high needless to say i was so disappointed. They came up again sometime later and the same thing happened again. I just gave up on looking after that. Then just recently I took another look and there they were all sparkling and pretty and no-one had bid on them, So i became the winning bidder and they just arrived accouple of days ago.

I bought a matching water jug sometime back as well. There are great quality glass.

We have had abit of rain laterly, and im certainly loving it as its made the weather abit cooler. Autumn isnt far away i can fell a change in the air. And im sure for those in the snow you must be looking forward to spring by now as i am of winter.

Love is in the air

With the romance of valentines day just around the corner, I thought i set the mood for myself and you.

A gorgeous bunch of roses would melt your heart

A box of amazing chocolates, I can almost taste them, They look sooooo good

Beautiful lighting that oozzes romance.

And some plane tickets to the love city, Paris, well i can dream.....Oneday . Happy valentines Day to all. I hope your day is filled with so much romance.

Repurposed Urns

Recently i made some pin cushions from small urns, they turned out really well. I was very impressed with the end result. I kept one  for myself and decided to list the others on ebay australia which i will get around to doing tomorrow evening. I hope you like them.

Things that make me smile

Its raining its pouring, thank the lord we so needed this down pour which we have been getting for the last few days, i just love it. We are living in what i call my cottage shed. The rain sounds amazing on the tin roof. So i was sitting today thinking of things apart from my family that make me smile.

Peonies make me smile(just photos though as i cant grow them here, its alittle warm)

Water fountains would make anyone smile, the amazing sound of trickling water

Aren't these papers gorgeous. I love these colours.

Im so in love with chandeliers, I have a box of them and scouncers that i will do up someday soon.

And lastly a rock wall,maybe several will be nice in my garden. Hope your having a great weekend.

My Patio/Garden Umbrellas

Up for sale is this gorgeous umbrella i created and finished today. Unfortunately i have discovered acouple of small marks on the frill which i cant remove. As i result i have reduced the price. I loved the end result there will be more to come, each will be one of a kinds unless i can get  enough fabric to do another the same. I will be selling again on ebay australia. International buyers welcome.

Its made mostly from cotton blend fabrics and lace. Will be making them in an asortment of colours if they sell well, strips with florals etc

Happy Australia Day..

                                                                                         

    Hello everyone Happy australia day. We decided to spend our day at Mt Tambourine today instead of the aussie b.b.q. It was a humid day but was much cooler up in the mountains.  Most of these photos  are of gallery walk, a street of boutique shops everything from fudge to art. I hope you all had a wonderful day whatever you did. I am hoping to have some of my designs complete soon to show you. I have been busy with my other job and finding it hard to find time for other things.
