Objects of Desire

s I am injured at the moment(what, you haven’t heard about my sprained ankle?) there may be a lack of outfit posts this week. Crutches = not sexy.

However, being the bower bird(read: compulsive shopper) that I am I have plenty of things to show you that I’ve picked up lately that haven’t yet featured on the blog. I am always adding to my home and the latest and most proud addition are these porcelain poodles I picked up on a recent trip to Ballarat of all places. I have a little collection of porcelain dogs, kitsch of course so when I saw these I clutched them and ran to the counter to pay.

In the photo above: Ring from Studio Leanne, cup and saucer purchased from op-shop in Port Fairy, porcelain poodles from The Mill in Ballarat, China-soiree lamp from Ex Hotel Furniture.

These porcelain pears aren’t new but the alarm clock is and was a birthday present from my girlfriends. I think they chose perfectly.

I bought these earrings from Colette Accessories recently for $6.95 I think. I hear ‘bargain’ ringing in your ears.

Tortoiseshell hair pin was another gift from my girlfriends for my birthday. J’adore.

My poodles!

    Agreed! Need a photo of all the (however I say this it sounds funny….) dogs/puppies together! My aunty had a collection of duck ornaments all together on top of a little cabinet while we were growing up. They were my favourite. I wonder if she still has them? I’ll show you my (her) ducks if you show me your dogs? (puppies sounded toooo wrong, there)

    I have the same Mor candle, best day ever when they decided to do a range that didn’t cost $50. The base of that lamp is amazing, my mother would love it, she adores anything with that design on it.
