Another Favourite....

Here is another favourite place of mine. I was in total awe as we sailed around Milford Sound. What an amazing place.

A Small Collection

This is a little collection of things we bought on our recent trip to Bali. I was determined not to come home with a whole heap of stuff I would never use or wear, so we stuck to just a few nice bits and pieces.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love anything mini....I love the mininess of this salt bowl and spoon.
I didn't know what these were at first. They are little birdie chopstick holders! CUTE
The crackled glass milk jug and sauce bowl are what attracted me to the shop....they were sitting in the window beckoning me.....

Christmas in July in August

We had a Christmas in July in August party on Saturday night. We were away for most weekends in July, so it ended up being a bit later than usual!! One of my favourite things about hosting this event every year is the chance to get my Chrissy decorations out! I think my absolute favourite are these tiny carol singers. I bought them from the Christmas markets in Dusselfdorf. I love, love, love them.

Favourite Things Tuesday

Ok, so I'm finally back to my regular favourite things on a Tuesday thingy. Today it's my new fish eye Lomography camera. I had my first film developed today and this is my favourite shot. I know it's not perfect and I don't really know what I did, but I really like it.

Another Tuesday...

These cold wintery days in Melbourne do bring back many memories of those European winters. Today on Things I Love Tuesday, I'm reminiscing about the canal we lived on in Amsterdam and how beautiful it was in the Winter....and in the Summer....and in the Spring....oh and Autumn.

This is the view from our old apartment. Even though we've been home for a while now, I still LOVE it and miss it so much. Many a cup of tea was had on this windowsill...

It's Tuesday Again.

I can't believe it's Tuesday again and already a whole week since my last post. Today on 'Things I Love Tuesday' it's all about my collection of coffee table books. Here are just a few....

Things I Love Tuesday

This is my 1960's Villeroy and Boch Amsterdam coffee pot and cups that I LOVE. Everytime I see them across the room it reminds me of so many happy times living in Amsterdam. I looked longingly at these in the antique shop window for such a long time and when we finally decided to move back home to Melbourne, I went and got them! I'm so glad I did. I would love to get some more from the collection, but it's not easy to find. In the meantime, I'm happy with these!

Things I Love Tuesday

Ok, each Tuesday I'm going to share my favourite bits and pieces, things I love and make me happy. Today it's my little, tiny, mini antique bottles. I've collected them for years now and I still love looking at them. I especially love the one that still contains tiny homeopathic pills for people suffering from anything of a bilious nature! Charming....
