Country Style

Saw this beuatiful pic in November issue of Home Beautiful and fell in love.

It is an Ikea EKTROP , which are super cheap. The 3 seaters starts at $599


And the Armchair starts at $399


They also have washable covers, in a couple of styles. Ikea has recently changed the patterns they do , so trusty old EBAY has lots of the older style covers. They can be found at Ikea from $150 and online for less !






The hugest range of covers can be found at BEMZ
They are a little more expensive but they seem to be more fitted and have so so many colours







So , much inspiration. We have a secret project on the go here , and these ideas might take centre stage. Will fill everyone in when we get the green light.

New Shoes..

Loving my new shoes, Peep Toe Kitten Heels !

Caulfield Cup Race Day

Had a lovely day at the races on Saturday with some wonderful friends.
We got all dressed up, had a few drinks and a bit of a flutter on the horses.

Unfortunatly, our afternoon ended a little to soon as i had to go home to check on the approaching fires. Thank Goodness , our house was safe !

Pink for October - Part I - Shoes

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and quite a few bloggers are going PINK for October. I am not skilled enough to change my blog to pink, so i am going to try and post lots of beautiful pink things through the month of October.

Career Mum

I am a busy working mum, i love working and love my child.
However recently, i have been thinking more and more about what i can do to spend more time with my family. I hate the daycare drop off and the long days. I am not sure that i have the drive and motivation to work from home full time, and i don't want to be a Stay At Home Mum (SAHM) But it is something to think about.
I am not only driven by money, i love the altruistic nature of my work. The helping of those in the community who are less fortunate than ourselves. I have worked for both Government and NGO's in the community sector for the last couple of years, and it is time for a change. What that change is i am not sure ?

Introducing Harrison

Very good friends of ours, Matt & Alicia have just had a beautiful little boy named, Harrison. I have known Alicia for years and she was bridesmaid at our wedding, and Matt is a good old fashioned country boy, just like my husband.
We tried really hard to think of a perfect present to give them to celebrate their beautiful little arrival , and decided pon a gift voucher for a session with Brisbane Photographer - Rachel Ritcher.

Rachel is a super kind, talented lady, who i have got to to know online, and you can tell by her pictures that she really loves what she does.

Windmill Art

I love this above image, i saw it in one of my fave mag's "Australian Country Style" and instantly fell in love with it. Then when i stumbled upon this electronic version on Brabourne Farm , i knew i had to share.

I remember the owner of the house and mum of these two cuties saying something along the lines of " i couldn't afford a beautiful big piece of art for this space, so i had my husband get this off an broken old windmill"

What a clever women ! It looks amazing !
