The scent of spring

I don't think I'm alone when I say that Spring could not come any faster. These cold and miserable days are taking their toll and the winter blues are well and truly not welcome any more. As I sat at a winery with friends last week end with the winter sun warming my back, I feel that the scent of spring is not too far off and I begun getting excited about my fave season.

Montalto winery, Mornington Peninsula - lovely friends, food and wine!

Spring blossoms and sitting in the mild air.

Spring cleaning the house, opening the windows, sun shining through. I want to get my pantry organised!

Good movies! A good friend bought me this book and I am really enjoying it. Cant wait to see the movie!

Freshly picked herbs from the garden.

Sweet smelling spring blossoms.

Happy happy happy!!!

Craving papaya!

I am presently drooling over the goods I stumbled across at papaya.com. I keep saying I will treat myself one day to some of these gorgeous items...hasn't happened yet but I still love to dream about them. Just been browsing their web site and again begin to crave papaya...one day!! Absolutely stunning designs with some simple and sweet messages.

A little dash of colour

For a while now I have been wanting to paint my dining chairs. I originally wanted to paint them all white, until I saw a picture in a magazine of a dining table with mismatched white and colored chairs. This inspired me to paint 2 of my chairs bright yellow, or "dandelion" as purchased from Bunnings. I am so happy with the finished product, and though it was a tedious and long job, I now smile each time I see my yellow chairs. What do you think?

While I was in the yellow mood, I decided to make some lemon curd out of a bowl of lemons my mum gave me. I had such an enjoyable afternoon with all my happy yellow surroundings. The lemon curd was also very delicious!

In the midst of exam study!

I have a blocked nose.
Am daydreaming of other career paths.
Nursing is all to complex right now.
Wouldn't it be fun to work here...

I won, I won!!

It is such an amazing sunny autumn day today!
I had my grandparents and family over for a Saturday morning tea and now I am going to finish my essay, but firstly, I did my usual check of the blogs that I follow to see some new posts and to my surprise... I won something!
I love the blog lolalina and last week she was running a give away of these beautiful prints by Davina + Daniel. To enter you just had to leave a comment with the link to your fave and...
I won!
Look at the gorgeous print that will be sent to me. I think it's very simple and sweet, and it has made my day!

Is it a CRIME to go PINK?

I don't know if you remember but i found a white antique chair in hard rubbish back in March and I have been wondering what to do with it.

Tell me, is it a crime to paint it PINK?

I have found a few pics to get me in the PINK mood and I'm thinking they may have just won me over - arrest me and put me behind bars!
