Baby's Room

 I am preparing my heart for my sweets baby's last days in his bassinet... I know I have already left it a tad too long but I cant bear the thought of him being swallowed up in a big cot! 

Here is his wee room... decorated in a vintage Cowboy and Indian theme.

Not much bigger than a broom cupboard but perfect for one.

 ... and just a few pictures on his wall.

Exquisite shawl handmade by my beautiful clever sister in law Alice

Cowboy fabric from  Tom Tom Jak

Cowboy applique from my dear friend Jenny

Cowboy doll made by the beautiful talented Dee from Tiny Eyes

The cot has held all our children and was made by my father

Bunny nightlight (on window sill) from Collected by LeeAnn Yare 

Pictures on the wall were gifts from my dear friend Anna

Everything else was gifted, thrifted or handmade.

Our Place

My best friend is a florist... I know right! How lucky am I!!! Especially when we go to the flower market together and I pick up a few blooms super cheap... she did the most fantastic arrangement for our front entrance..  Thanks Jaqui.. Love you!!

 I thought I would snap a few stills of around home at the same time...

Two of my favourite things..Vernon Ward print and swan vase.  

I recently discovered the delightful Audrey Fitzjohn from Hello Paper and fell in love!!
This 'Live Simply' sticker was a favourite - along with 'Hello Sunshine' at the top of the page.

An old cast iron toy car Tim found buried in land he was cultivating 

  

Tims old 'Fun Ho' bulldozer sits alongside a tin number six sign I found when Theo was born

Finn reading in everyone's favourite sunny nook

old books

Mollie's room - she wrote this to remind herself not to be obsessed with how she looks!



(as most of my photos turned out to be an epic fail I handed the camera to Mollie - these are hers..)
