{Belated} Weekend treat...

This gorgeous little bunch was given to me on Friday morning as a treat {from the garden fairy}. It took pride of place in the house as my sister was down for a conference & stayed the night with us - so exciting as we don't get to see her very often! It had brightened my desk all day {despite the crazy weather we had in Brissie}.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend whatever you were up to. We had lots on which included a special christening on Sunday, as well as spending time with my sister doing dinner & shopping!!! Overall, a tiring but great weekend :-)

Nearly the weekend...

Hooray! It's almost the weekend and I hope it involves lots of relaxing. Whatever you are up to this weekend, I hope you find some time out too :-)

Sunny days...

There is nothing I love more on a weekend morning than sitting with a cup of tea in my rumpus room with the sun streaming in {my husband usually still sound asleep in bed!}. Our little furry friend Angus soaks up the sun in one of his favourite spots. It was a gorgeous sunny day here for the final day of a long weekend. Back to work tomorrow!!!!!

Off to see the wizard...

...Well, the witches anyway!!! I am going to the 'Wicked' musical tomorrow and can't wait. I have heard great reports from people... Have you seen it? What did you think?

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Weekend snippet...

It has been a relatively quiet weekend in our house - the perfect time to do some rearranging {and the dreaded cleaning!!}. I love starting the new week with everything sorted and a few little projects completed. Stay tuned...

Whirlwind weekend...

Life has flown by since last Friday when I found out my sister was having her baby early. I flew up to North Queensland late Friday night so I could be there and it was an amazing weekend. They had a little girl {named Grace} who is absolutely gorgeous. It was so hard for me to leave them and fly back to work on Monday morning (the 6am flight isn't fun at the best of times!!!). I can't wait to see her again in a few more weeks :-)

A beautiful day to be in the garden...

I know it has been a while....

Between work, college classes & study at home, I haven't had a spare second to myself these last few weeks {hence my terrible lack of posts}!!! Last Sunday and today I managed to grab some precious moments and start my vegetable & herb garden which I have been wanting to do for a long time. I decided to set it up in a series of pots which are easier to manage and take up less room in the garden. I have shared a few pics for you, the last one of which I am very proud... Some beautiful baby red capsicums have just appeared!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day

P.S. I apologise for the photos, I quickly took them on my phone before dark descended. Also, please excuse the ugly fence - it will be going in our renovations :-)

Linen + Ruffles...

Whilst on the subject of gorgeous linen, I love these blankets found over at Belle Maison. Very much looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow as we have a long weekend here :-)

Wonderful weekend...

I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter weekend filled with long lunches, beautiful weather and some time for crafty projects!!!

Long time, no see...

I can't believe it's been a whole week since my last post - the time has simply flown by as I have been even busier than usual. The rest of this week is rather crazy as well including the weekend when I have a wedding to attend. I'll leave you with one of my favourite pictures ever from here.

Have a wonderful week & weekend :-)

Spring weekend...

This is me this weekend.... Working and then frantically finishing assignments to hand in on Tuesday!!! I think I will have to splurge and buy some beautiful roses like the picture above to brighten my absolute mess of a desk. The forecast tomorrow is cloudy with rain periods which is perfect to keep me inside !!!

Brunch anyone...

There is nothing I would love to do more this weekend than have some friends over for a long brunch to eat some delicious food and solve the world's problems. Mind you, it would probably turn into dinner also if I had a gorgeous table and kitchen like the one above!
Have a great weekend xxx

Break away...

I escaped for 3 days over the weekend to a beautiful little place in Montville (just north of Brisbane) called the Spotted Chook. We stayed in Amelies cabin and had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Above are some snapshots of the cabin that I took. It was a french inspired cottage and was very cute! Whenever we get to go away for some time out, I love to stay in different styles of accommodation rather than a luxury hotel room. This place in particular was my favourite so far... views, fireplace, vintage chandeliers, cute fabrics and a massive spa!!!

What is your favourite escape?
