summer illustrations

I recently came across these lovely illustrations on etsy by Nan Lawson and just had to share the summery goodness.

Friday quote

I'm not sure where i found this pic anymore, but it's been sitting in my inspiration folder for a while now. If only it was that easy hey!

sweet spring candle

I recently received this Leura Glasshouse candle as a gift, and can i just say it's amazing. Finally, I have a candle that actually smells when you burn it! It smells of the sweetest spring flowers: Jasmine, Lilac and Cherry Blossom and also is in an opaque white glass jar rather than the normal clear ones, so still looks great on the shelf even when it's not burning. At $35, I thought it was a little extravagant for a candle, but now that I have one it is definitely worth it. And it's huge, so will outlast any other non-smelly candles out there and is such a nice relaxing way to end the day.

Alphabet blocks

These gorgeous, traditional style alphabet blocks from Uncle Goose would look great in any nursery, and come beautifully boxed, making them a great gift or keepsake. Each block features four letters, a number or symbol, and an animal picture. The blocks have beveled edges to eliminate sharp corners and are made with non-toxic inks.

bird magnets

How perfect are these magnets for spring? I have them on the fridge at home and love them every time I look at them. You can get them at outlivging here.

the butter flying

These stunning clouds are definitely going in my nursery when I set one up. Or even my room? Somewhere. Anywhere. I never would have thought clouds would make me feel so happy. They are from the butter flying and come as mobiles and wall hangings.

Our new home

Today, we are the very excited owners of this lovely house. We finally got approval from the bank after jumping through every hoop in the world, but we got there in the end. Yay us. It's 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, has a backyard, only 500m from the beach in Miami on the Gold Coast. And.... all for a price less then our little flat in bondi. Crazy isn't it.
Can't wait to move in in 4 weeks and add all the little touches to it, to make this place our home.
