I am often asked where I got this bag, and where it can be purchased. It is quite special so I thought I’d show you some detailed shots.My brother bought it for me on his travels at a market in Florence, Italy. I believe it ended up costing me the unbelievable sum of $80AUS. It’s leather, I don’t think that it’s real ostrich skin but who would know.
I’d bought this bag quite possibly from the same market when I was there in 2006 so when I heard he was visiting I implored him to drop EVERYTHING and find me another bag. He did and I was thrilled to find out that the prices had barely changed.
I look at these little tins every day as they sit on my desk so I thought it was apt that I share pictures also.
As I’ve mentioned before I buy my flowers from the florist at Flinders St station, generally when I am on my way home from somewhere. I have flowers every week in the house, they make me so happy.
The colour combination was purely subconscious but as I am pedantic about colours matching I’m not entirely surprised they have ended up in a little cluster.
I posted about the French pastilles at Christmas, they are from Cote Provence in Rathdown St and the flavour is ‘Violette.’ Just gorgeous.
My other little trinkets are Magnolia Eau de Toilette from L’Occitane, MOR Lip Delight in ‘Violetta’ (clearly I like violets!) and Perfumeria Gal balm in ‘Fraise.’ I have it in violet flavour, just not sitting on my desk.

[…] may or may not remember that I’m a huge fan of Les Anis de Flavigny bon bon’s and have photographed them a couple of times on the blog. When the kind people […]
Nothing like our senses are there girls – sight, taste, smell and touch. I have been getting the most beautiful David Austin roses that I place next to my bed…delicious.
Neeed to also have a look at some DEVINE products that I have only been able to get directly from USA – brand called Lollia! Bubblebath bottles are like no other and soaps make for the best bath (with candles, champers surrounding one also 🙂 )
Got them from http://www.beautifulgifts.com.au (also on facebook)….. have a sqiz!
