colourful thrifted vintage knits


finding just the right corner for my gifted oil painting (painted by my mum!)


watching as Violet explores by touching anything she can


after school pikelets


new old doilies

  1. A lovely Friday to you too Tania - but I know it will be, your place always looks so comfy cozy... when can I move in?

  2. Brrr! Look at the frozen ice, and at midday!

    That is a beautiful picture that your mum painted, it looks just right where you have placed it...Love the other photos too, the pikelets look yum, I might make some when my son gets home from school today.

    You have a nice weekend with your family Tania.

  5. So much to covet here, including your mother. She's a regular Margaret Olley. Then there's the cookbook, which I see is stocked in a book shop near me, Yardage Design, which I've never heard of, and now love. You can keep the midday ice though.

  6. Your mum's paiting is lovely, I'm a big fan of art with a green theme. Coveting one at this very moment. Did think that the very plain lightshade would look spectacular with a fabric makeover. Beachvintage.blogspot.com has just posted on the how to's. I have one half finished for my little girl. That icicle is superb, surpised your kids haven't snapped it off to crunch on while watching telly. We had a maximum temp of 13 degrees yesterday. As we all live in inappropriate houses with no heating and barely own a coat it feels like we are living in Lapland. melx

    That icicle is incredible! I have been eyeing the Martha cookbook for awhile, must track down a copy :)

  10. Just found your delightful blog via a mention on Rhonda's Down to Earth blog.

    Lucky you having a long weekend because of the Queen's birthday - no such luck here in the UK.

    It's wonderful to look through your photos and to see how life is on the other side of the world. Have only visited Australia once but absolutely LOVED it!

    P.S. glad you left that little tag on the remade blanket
