As seen in Australian Homespun magazine
A huge thank you to AUSTRALIAN HOMESPUN magazine for featuring us in this month's edition of "The Summertime Issue". We were so delighted to be approached and to be featured in their "From Coast to Coast" article on page 12 &14 .
Please take a look at this incredibly creative magazine. There is so many wonderful ideas and projects to do over summer. There are also many, many creative people with amazing talents in patchwork, applique and stitchery to read up on in this magazine. Take a look at page 24 on "how to make a mermaid", by Natalie Ross. It so cute and even I'm going to give this project a go over the holidays!!

Christmas has arrived!
Well I debated whether or not I should put up our Christmas tree.. as we are renting this house while we are building.. and sourcing my Christmas bits and pieces amongst the endless packed boxes initially felt very daunting! But today I thought I must make this house feel special at Christmas.. so over and under boxes I clambered.. and finally I located my ye olde faithful tree.... but that was all I could find! The rest is courtesy of a quick dash down to the local shops. I did however find my red rug! That's sort of Christmas like, isn't it?

Burleigh, Byron and Bangalow

Isn't this a great idea! It's a decorative timber cutout above a doorway at the 'Balcony' in Byron Bay. We went there for a quick coffee, which led to dinner... then wine... then dessert. Hee Hee.

We visited some of our friends in Byron Bay who were also escaping Melbourne's cold weather. We were obsessed with their cute little dinning room in the house that they were renting. Lots of windows and an abundance of dappled light.

Oooooooh we loved the Gold Coast Antique Warehouse with all of it's little treasures. I fell in love with this little bamboo tea set.

I spotted some stunning bird wallpaper in the shop 'Lazy Bones', and was desperate to get a roll to cover my walls but unfortunately it was sourced as an off cut off the Internet! We did however buy ourselves a few summer dresses from 'Lazy Bones' in preparation for our summer in Victoria...hopefully sunshine and sparkling warm coastal waters will appear soon!

We jetted off for a quick break north for some much needed sunshine. And of course QLD and Northern NSW did not disappoint. This is a quick snap of my unsuspecting mum looking very gorgeous and tropical about to order us a coffee in Bangalow. My goodness what a beautiful and inspiring little town this is!
