Teacups I adore..

I have a small collection of teacups, These are my old favourites.

This one is my apsolute favourite, I bought from the local markets for only $7.

This one was bought for my mum from her youngest daughter for her birthday. My sister was around 4yrs old. The cup would be around 40yrs old or so now. Mum recently passed it on to me to treasure.

I hope your all haveing a lovely week.

New wall art.

I have loved this piece of fabric for awhile. Its the last off cut from some outdoor cushion covers i made. I also have had some old moldings that i collect from recyclers that i new would come in use someday. So last night while stareing  at the piece of fabric it hit me. Add some sparkling rhinestones, and glitter fabric paint, and tada, my new wall art.

Love o linens..

I love freshly washed , crisp linens, ( sadly mine are not ). I just pulled these out of my cupboard to swap over with my others, there so pretty, my camera doesnt do them justice. There mostly napkins, these above are guest hand towels.

This picture above is a vintage food cover.

Coffee cream coloured napkins, all of these came from thift shops.

This last one sorry terrible photo shots is a vintage handkerchief. Its doesnt look it but its jet black with the deepest red roses, my favourite. Hope your all having a wonderful week.

Wallaby in my garden

Woke up to the most beautiful day today after weeks of drizzly rain only to find the culprit responsible for stripping my roses and cherry blossom back to bare stems. We used to have one come round that we were hand feeding but now we drive them away as they ruin the garden. So while i was outside i took some photos of blooms that were left in my garden.

The gardens are so out of control with weeds, that the cooler months ahead will see me in the garden most of the time getting it back in order.

Made from the heart

Im going to have a go at selling at the markets very soon and im heading to mt tambourine markets to do that. It attracts many tourist and is such a beautiful place. So i have been very busy making allsorts of treasures, I will share them with you over the coming days. Here are some scented vanilla hearts i made for my ebay store.

Im made them from vintage lace doilys, there so rustic, they would look great hanging from a door handle. I have some many ideas as to how i can set up stall. I will take photos to show you all.
Enjoy your day...

Taking a daydream holiday

Today was just one of those days that i just wanted to curl up in a ball and become invisible from my boys. I love them dearly but they tested my patience beyond saniety today. So i sat down to my computer and surfed through flickr, to escape far far away, to france of cause. I loved the movie marie antoinette and adored her little chateaus so i went looking for the real deal and here they are.

How sweet it is. I would love a quaint little castle like this.

And the other cute cottage, folly. I love the rambleing garden. Now that ive taken my little daydream holiday i must return to reality, Have a lovely weekend everyone.
