Purple Passion

 

 

  

With Easter in our midst and plenty of visitors popping in, it's the perfect opportunity to fill the house with fresh flowers. And nothing beats flowers picked straight from the garden! Roses, tulips and hydrangeas bring splashes of colour to both inside and outside the house. Today I'm loving everything in shades of mauve, lilac, lavender and purple.  

What's your favourite flower colour?

Country Kitchen Style

 

This is where you will find me this Easter... in my kitchen baking away. With plans for entertaining lots of family and friends over the Easter break it's a perfect excuse for whipping up a batch of homemade hot cross buns. I am going to stock up the cake tins and cookie jars so when visitors pop in unexpectedly there's always some home baked goodies to offer them!

Faded Charms

 

Loving this romantic Sunday inspiration of having a lazy day and finding the time to:

write a letter (the old fashioned way)

pick some garden roses

indulge in some afternoon tea

cook the family a lovely Sunday lunch

find a quiet nook in the garden and

read my novel.

Happy Sunday!

White Wash

Everytime I see a room or a space decorated with white on white with a healthy dose of vintage shabby chic thrown in, my heart skips a beat. Just the clean simple all white palette decorated with rustic pieces, the odd antique chandelier, vintage treasures and the loved, worn look of white painted timbers ...it gets me every time!

The Great Outdoors

With some sunny weather promised this weekend - I am looking forward to getting outdoors. My husband comes from a family of mad keen fly fishermen so we are all heading off to the local river with the kids for a spot of fishing. If there aren't enough rods to go round I happily sit in the background reading one of my favourite mags! Very few fish are caught so they best part of the day is the home baked goodies that go with the adventure. There's yummy sandwiches, freshly baked cookies to munch on and always a homemade cake for morning tea!
