This and That

Loving these JCrew maxi dresses, would be perfect for summer evening parties.  Was wondering Jenna, do you think you will ship to Australia any time soon?

Irene from BloesemKids has recently started a beautiful collection of children's pendants suitable for both boys and girls, the one above is my favourite.

A new online magazine and I just love it, I wish I had been quick enough to snaffle up the print version to keep.

A piece of art, this slate cheese board.

I just love the earthy whimsical feel of this room, found in a Californian/Mexican restaurant in Paris.  I'm putting Taqueria Candelaria on my list of must check out when I'm next in Paris.

A really pretty shopper that zips into a pouch you toss in your handbag.

One of my all time favourite totes, lots of room and handy divisions for all my bits and bobs, I used it as a baby bag.

I would love to look at this honey pot every day on my breakfast table.

I'm hoping to watch this movie this weekend, I have a bit of a crush on Ms Tautou.

I just love this house, could happily call it mine.  Then check out their weekender, which you can rent.

Have a wonderful day.

A Look Inside

A post by Jane at My Pear Tree House prompted this house tour. Dana of Yellowtrace lives here and if you look at the first image you will recognise it from the cover of the book which was the subject of Jane's post yesterday. Dana lives in Megan Morton's previous home.

I really like how Dana has injected colour into her home and of course I love the industrial and vintage touches, like he magazine box. I like her quirky vignettes as well, the chooks and the pirate ship.  Oh and I have that white ribbon vase in my family room, it is actually a lamp, it produces a beautiful effect when lit. A fun, yet welcoming home.

Have a happy day.

My Sweet Prints

My friend Janette is having a great sale at her store - 40% off every print. This could be the best time to get that print you have had your eye on. I've nabbed myself this one for the boys' playroom.

Be quick it ends midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time tonight, 30 June 2010.

I hope you're having a happy afternoon.

A Look Inside

Do you recall this pillow I posted about? Well I took the plunge and bought it recently for my bed.  I love it beautiful quality linen and hand printing.

Well the owner of the shop Uniform Natural is Martha McQuade and I recently stumbled upon her beautiful home on Flickr.  I thought I would share some of it with you.  She has two boys and I am quite in love with their bedrooms. I also like her vignettes. I hope you enjoy the peek.

You can see more images of her home including her amazing workroom/studio here.

Have a happy day.

A Look Inside

It has been a few weeks since I posted a house tour.  This home is in Sweden and I love its mix of vintage, op shop (thrift) finds with mid century design classics and a bit of IKEA for good measure. The use of vibrant colours adds a real sense of warmth.  You can tell this was a well loved family home.  And what about that kitchen, I could cook and bake in that one all day.

Have a happy day.

PS. Happy birthday to my niece, she is one today.

A Look Inside

In one of my earlier posts I blogged about how much I liked this pillow (I actually ended up buying it).  Well this week I thought we could visit Virginia from Roddy & Ginger (she also has a lovely blog) in her sixties home in South London. I hope you enjoy the visit.

Have a happy day.
