Baby Shower mood board

I am organizing a baby shower for a good friend of mine in a few weeks time and I thought I would take this opportunity to create a mood board full of my ideas and inspirations. She is having a boy, but we don't want it to be too corny and "baby-ish" so here are my ideas, what do you think?

Lots of vases full of fresh spring blooms.


Delicious and colorful nibbles.

A lovely array of tea pots with lots of different teas to choose from.

A mood board showing bits and pieces about the mum and dad...

And...of coarse a few baby presents to shower the expectant mother to be.

We will of coarse do a few games and things but my main aim to to treat my good friend with a lovely afternoon with her closest friends and to celebrate the new life that is blooming in her belly.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or thoughts to add to my mood board! xx

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!

Day dreamer

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!
