It’s nice showing you how it’s done, I suppose because you take it for granted you don’t always think to show off how many layers you are wearing!
You’ll also notice that I have a new home wares addition: a porcelain phrenology head all the way from Germany. I just love it!
What value to do we place on the things that surround us?
I bought this beautiful Aran wool, hand knitted jumper at Savers just last week, for $10. I could hardly believe that it was priced so low, having just walked past ‘vintage’ polyester dresses at upwards of $19.95.
So if you are inspired to eat your dinner off collectable wall plates like I am, Belinda Janes has the entire collection at discount prices. And why am I telling you this? Because I have 3 x $50 vouchers for Lady Melbourne readers.
I’ve always been of the opinion that you fill your home with stories from your life- the people in it, the places you’ve been, the memories from times gone by. What I’ve shown you below pretty much all has a story attached to it, and it fills my heart with joy to be surrounded by these stories every day.
There is no typical day in the life for me, in that I do all sorts of things all over the place, all the time.
Samsung sent me their new Samsung GALAXY Note II, to try and see if it could keep up with my incessant social media contact addiction, the need to take photos wherever I am and then of course share with the world.
I’ve been looking out at the geraniums in the garden and I’ve also had this dress in my wardrobe since September when Dr.Jones moved to Oxford to complete her PhD and was cleaning out her closet. It occurred while we’ve had super hot weather here, that I had a blog post staring me in the face with the flowers and this dress.
I’ve compiled a gallery below of photos of tea and my tea cups from over the years, for newer readers you’ll get a chance to look back at photos as far back as 2009.
Just recently I was sent this DIVINE candle with a hand written note from Susie who imports Neom luxury organic candles into Australia.
If you are into reading Melbourne based blogs you will probably have heard of The Design Files. Lucy’s most recent pursuit is an open house in Fitzroy where everything you see you can buy. Everything!
I thought I might share with you some of the things I have on my various tables around the place at the moment.
Well Happy Friday to you out there!
Here is my final recent purchase from Etsy and I’m not quite sure yet but it’s vying for my favourite.
