Friday, updates and purchases

What a week! I'm extra relieved it's Friday. Tonight im off for a lovely dinner with Kate, Saturday lots of Ada & Darcy work putting some design concepts together for lovely clients - seems i've run out of hours this week! Definitely will be popping into the flower markets Saturday morning too, its been weeks since i've been and i'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Sunday though will be spent relaxing. Cant wait.

Thank you to Nicole for this fabulous post about her Moroccan Pouffe purchase here... Don't forget the 25% off two or more lovely pouffes ends Sunday and that also includes free shipping within Australia...

And in fashion news... Here's a couple of purchases that were made during the week.

1. A completely impractical but fabulous nonetheless feather jacket. LOVE. Such a fun accessory with jeans, dresses or skirts. Let's hope i dont wear it on a day where its raining.

2. A Whistles Carrie pleated skirt. The colour is outrageously beautiful, I saw it a while back and couldnt stop thinking about it so took the plunge.

I really wish I was brave enough to show these purchases on myself... Im just very chicken!! Kellie xxx

Roses + roses...

Saturday morning I completely missed the alarm and ended up at the flower markets just as they were closing at 10.55am. I ran to my favourite flower man who gave me 36 roses for $10 - outrageous!! Here are just a few in darling Samantha Robinson vases and they are incredibly beautiful. Orange, lemon and pink - such a special combination.

I always ask him the same question when choosing my roses 'will these last til tomorrow', he often laughs and says they will last you a week! Gotta be sure and enjoy these little darlings for as long as possible. Kellie xx

Friday!

What an exhausting week! Suffering from a lack of sleep but happy and lovely customers has made it all worth while.

This weekend I have a facial and massage planned and a wonderful lunch by the water planned for Sunday. Perhaps even a visit to the flower markets Saturday morning to give our home a little razzle dazzle over the coming week, not sure what flowers will be out in bloom given its starting to get a bit colder in Sydney.

Have a beautiful weekend. Kellie x

Summer Weather...

Geez, its still hot in Sydney! My lovely pink Prada sunglasses arrived just in time for the weekend. Lily and Molly are off to the doggy spa tomorrow, can you believe this, they have a dog pool there for them to swim in too - supervised of course and there are doggy life jackets!! Clearly they designed their business with crazy dog owners like myself in mind. Sunday is Luke's birthday so will be having a nice lunch with the family, by the water to hopefully enjoy a cool breeze that hasnt been present in sydney for a good while now.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone xx

Spoiled puppies...

This picture of Lily makes me laugh. She always has this poor me look on her face but, don't be fooled. She is spoiled beyond belief! A lovely customer purchased a pouffe for her gorgeous puppy. Why you ask?! Just so the little darling could make it onto the bed of course! That made my week, I couldnt help but tell my husband and he said, see these dogs get treated better than me! Kind of true... Lily is doing a gorgeous job here ffthough modelling my favourite Pagoda cushion and a new pretty lemon cushion I had made.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone! Kellie xx

Two perfect models...

I needed to take a few pictures on the weekend and managed to get this gorgeous shot of Lily and Molly. The perfect models! I think it had something to do with the fact they had a big swim at the beach on the weekend so were a little tired therefore were happy just to sit and have their picture taken.

Saturday morning I found those amazing and huge roses on the weekend, and, the colour of them hasnt been modified at all - they are the most brightest and boldest shade of yellow I have seen! And they were sold in a bunch of 25 - outrageous! Was very happy with my purchase.

Have a beautiful week everyone! Kellie xx

An interesting arrangement...

It must have been my lucky day at the markets on Saturday morning - I was given 3 bunches of flowers for free. Perhaps its because they see me wandering around there every week and wonder why on earth I dont just sleep in on a Saturday and feel sorry for me!

This week i took home some darling dahlias, hydrangeas, Julia roses and some David Austins (i'll show you those tomorrow). I quite like this arrangement below of the dahlias and hydrangeas -an interesting mix, one quite edgy and the other very rustic but i works so well and the colours are delightful together. Very unexpectedly beautiful, but like most things, it's always best this way... Kellie xx

Weekend happenings...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. My mine was very productive which has made me feel much more relaxed about Christmas. I managed to nearly do all of our Christmas shopping that, as of last week, was barely started. And we managed to do it in lightning fast time which was even better. We had a delicious dinner (pictures shown) last night and also took Lily and Molly for a swim at Pittwater during the day which they loved. They were beside themselves with excitement!

And, to top things off my newest delivery of Samantha Robinson beauties will arrive today - the first lot went very quickly, i'm very excited to have more and in different colours this time round.

Have a wonderful week everyone! Kellie xx

Flowers and arrivals...

Headed off to the flower markets this morning, the gorgeous peonies are out but sadly the ones that were left were all a bit sad looking. Instead, I found these beautiful David Austin roses who have found their place in our kitchen, their fragrance is beyond beautiful!

I also had an exciting day yesterday as my Samantha Robinson order arrived for the store... Will be available on Monday. A small but beautiful range, if it goes well, I will definitely add more before christmas! If there was something you are particularly interested in, please do let me know.

Have a beautiful Saturday everyone. We are off to a wedding - the most delightful day for it too. And, i heard there will be peonies... Lots of peonies - heaven. Kellie xx

New things...

How was your weekend? Mine was very productive, lots done on Saturday and Sunday including some gardening, shopping, hair love, worked on some projects and took some lovely pictures of new things that came in!

More pretty cushions added to the store in the 'what's new' section... We also have added 6 little ones at great prices - only 1 of each! Also added is that lovely blue and white lamp - the other style sold out very quickly. Oh and that animal print one - loving that too. Kellie xx. Ps. That's my lovely rosette quilt there... xx

Friday Joy!

Yay its friday! Im looking forward to the weekend that will include sleep ins, flower markets, playing with pretty home decor items and lunch right on Sydney harbour! Can't wait! xx

Leftover weekend beauty...

I thought it was about time I showed you all some pretty pictures of my weekend flower market purchases. Seemed this week there were lots more beautiful flowers available, which meant, as we went a little later in the morning, the flowers were even less expensive than normal. Of course in that instance then, you have to buy double!

I do adore lilies as they just get pretty the more they open and the roses, well their petite size and popping colour sold me in a heartbeat. Kellie xx

Happiness...

Saturday was off to a wonderful start - a flutter at the flower markets followed by a spot of shopping. It was good to see the amount of flowers available is starting to increase as we get closer to spring time. Soon the markets will be filled to the brim. Tonight we are heading off for a delightful dinner with Kate, very excited about that too! Kellie x

Creative and delightful weekends...

Have a delightfully creative weekend everyone! Not too much planned for me this weekend, visiting my lovely cushion lady for some delightful orders, perhaps I'll drop in to the flower markets and there is sure to be a visit to my favourite little patisserie for a french vanilla tart. Have a beautiful weekend everyone! Kellie xx

Balloons and shoes...

I'm signing off a little early this week! Heading off for some relaxation and delicious food with my Mum and darling best friend Kate. Also spending more time finalising stock for my shop. Im getting more and more excited every day but at the same time there is STILL so much to do! Oh well, it will be all worth it. Loved these shots too, they capture such gorgeous beauty in colour and even though I have seen those shoes a zillion times, they still make my heart flutter a little {especially with those sparkles}! See you soon... Love Kellie xx

A beautiful long weekend!

What a lovely weekend. Thank you to Nicole, Ashlee, Bethany and Breanna for a weekend full of love, laughs and fun.

I thought I would show you a couple of flowers from Nicole's beautiful garden. Oh and her teacup selection which is ah, shall we say, quite extensive... Gorgeous!

I will post a couple more of her tea cups tomorrow. Kellie xx

Weekend Project

I found some beautiful old antique chairs at Mum's place, stored away waiting to be loved. All they need is a bit of paint, some new fabric and they will be back to their glamourous old selves. Hopefully this Sunday I can set aside some time to bringing them back to life. Kellie xx
