My lovely art. Finally framed!

Here is my beautiful poster i picked up in a little shop in Rozelle, the poster is by Zoe de Las Cases, i love the vibrant colour on the black and white photograph!

And a bit closer...

Cupcakes! Not bad first go....

My lovely friend Amy shared her fabulous red velvet cup cake recipe. I recently had one of Amy's cakes and it was delightful.... Smooth texture and amazing cream cheese icing. Now i'm not much of a baker so who knows how things could have ended up, i did need to purchase a few essential items that would be very helpful for the process... Hence the shopping bag! How gorgeous is that lovely pink bag though (although i know they are so bad for the environment)? I couldn't resist the black and white polka dot paper either for the cupcakes... I hope Amy you are proud!!!

I did need a cup of tea and some chocolates to get me through the process!

How red is that mixture. Possibly not great for the insides but every so often is OK don't you think...

My gorgeous cup cakes, and they even taste fabulous too! I do need to practice the icing bit but first go i was quite pleased.

Still loving after...

I recently bought these roses at my local flower markets. The colours were amazing -incredibly vibrant. I took the photo of my roses a week later, whilst they have changed and the colours have dulled i still find them incredibly beautiful. I love how the petals change shape, the colour softens and the edges curl up.

I actually really do love the after as well...

Colours, wallpaper and lovely designs.

I really love a print or two. Most of the time i couldn't care less if they don't match either. Life is too short. I found these great designs and had to share them....

The butterflies are delightful and shows their versatility in different living spaces.

And to finish, a quick snapshot of 4 rooms i love....

High tea? Darling...

I absolutely love high tea and will go at any opportunity. I love the idea of little cakes and sandwiches, beautiful teacups and teapots and my best friend Kate (my husband has been and wasn't so keen on the experience). Oh and maybe a glass of champagne or two. 

What i also love is that it is so easy to do your own lovely high tea at home. I think the process of making and decorating the cakes is just as fabulous as eating it all!

I love these images below, the cakes are divine and the tea cups and teapots are just fabulous. Kellie x

I do love the vintage element of this selection, the crochet doilies are so pretty. I recently bought some and my mum thought i was joking. I love them!

I hope to stock these beautiful designs in my store.

These remind me of what my nan would make for me when i was little and came to visit.

This tea set is so incredibly stylish, i adore the detail on the handles.

Aren't these tea pot biscuits just gorgeous! I have actually eaten one of these and they taste as good as they look surprisingly!!

Touch of the blues...

I wasn't much of a blue person until recently. I saw this great chair and side table and i thought wow, i then saw this image at the delightful Anna Spiro's blog Absolutely Beautiful Things and realised i have actually warmed to blue. I think this indigo blue is spectacular with white... So fresh and charming.

Since i found my love for indigo blue, i sourced some more lovely products that i would adore for my home. You like??

Beautiful notes in my little Red Otter

I do love to look amy blogs and every so often i come across one that i just love and will wait (very patiently of course) for updates :) Red Otter is just one of those blogs. 

What i adore about this blog is the beautiful selection of photography, its femininity, uniqueness and Julia's endearing posts. 

I then noticed Julia also has an Esty store also called Red Otter which is full of a delightful selection of handmade journals, designed beautifully and finished with beautiful fabrics and prints. I purchased this delightful one here and i am very excited. I can't wait to take this beautiful notebook to work meetings...

 

And here are some more beautiful designs...
