A day time flicker...


I do love on Saturdays to have my candles burning. The soft fragrance is a nice way to kick start the weekend. I actually prefer candles burning during the day rather than the night as for me, I find them so much more elegant that way. Kellie xx

Stationary or art?


I didn't really used to appreciate cards although, my best friend Kate, was always one for buying lovely cards when she spotted them and would save them up for a special, rainy day. Now though, I am starting to see them in the same light as Kate. They say alot. I do love the idea of them being a piece of art, you want them to be special, right? Kellie xx

Gorgeous cards from here. x

Lots to think about


I feel like I have lots to think about.

Something new needed to wear in the coming weeks.
How i'm going to style our table for our dinner party.
How i'm going to create more time for making things by hand.
Lots to do. But things I love.

Have a beautiful Thursday. Kellie xx

Two little darlings...


I thought I would give you a quick update on how the girls are going.

Firstly, excuse Lily and her haircut, Luke took her to the doggy day spa on the weekend and requested 1 cm all over (ears and head included). I thought she was getting a trim on her body to stay cool, imagine my surprise when she came home looking like a grey hound!! Look at her poor ears - all that gorgeous hair is gone! I told Luke under no circumstances when we have children is he taking them for a hair cut, I can imagine our daughter, who wanted a trim of her long locks and coming back with a number one all over just like Lily!

Little Molly is going well too, she wasn't lucky enough to have a haircut on the weekend so is still looking like a cavalier. She is fully of personality. She isn't quite old enough to climb down from a chair etc, if we leave her and she thinks we have forgotten to get her down, she absolutely lets us know with one bark as if to say, "hey guys, what about me!?". Very sweet. Kellie xx

Happy Australia Day!


It's Australia Day today. And the sun is shining. We are off to take our little four legged, furry babies to the dog cafe for some play time. I thought I would celebrate Australia Day by showing you some lovely Australian flora. It's not my usual pretty arrangement but it is Australia Day and given the heat we have been experiencing, these hardy little babies are the only thing that will stay alive in my home at the moment. Have a wonderful day! Kellie xx
