Happy Halloween



 

 





 
I wish we celebrated Halloween here in Australia.
It always looks so much fun ~
the fancy costumes, the parties, trick or treating
and neighbourly goodwill.
To our American friends celebrating today

Happy Halloween!

{For those of you affected by Hurricane Sandy
our thoughts are with you and your families}.

Springtime Picnics










One of my favourite things about Spring
is packing some delicious treats in a basket
taking a long, country drive
and going for a picnic.
There's nothing better than a long walk in the fresh air,
good food, lovely company and perfect weather

A Passion for Purple












Today I am loving the combination of purple and green.

For me, Springtime is all about being outdoors
entertaining in the garden,
picnics in the park,
reading in the afternoon sun
and of course ....
a little pottering in the garden!

Scandinavian Neutrals








 


I love the neutral tones and textures of Scandinavian style. It's their honest, natural approach to design that really appeals to me. I love the simplicity of their understated colour palette of whites, grey, taupe and beige and the use of natural fibres such as linen and cotton. They use a lot of timber to create warmth and you always see lots of candles in Scandinavian homes that bathe everything in a soft, warm glow.
