It's true...

Tea makes me happy.  It gives comfort and provides a much needed ritual in the day. Not being a coffee drinker I place a lot of importance on that morning cup of tea.... and again as a little afternoon pick me up. To get you over the 3 o'clock blues. I say, long live tea!

Crazy Kitsch or Crazy Cool?

I can't decide... probably both but I thought it was worth a mention because anyone who can turn their kinda crazy offbeat ideas into something that actually sees the light of day (with a gallery installation in Manhattan no less!!) is my hero.

Christmas List

I don't actually have a huge Christmas list this year... Strange, but true.  But I did come across some little thought starters when I was in dream land via the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. It's definately worth a look for some inspiration if you have a money tree growing in your backyard!

Imagine if....

......instead of just cruising through blog's and admiring all the beautiful houses, rooms, gardens and other inspiration to be found on the wonderful worldwide web you could actually visit a few of these amazing places IN. REAL. LIFE. Crazy idea I know. Here's a few that I'd like to see up close.

A free day...

Today I was supposed to be setting up shop at Mosman markets but it was cancelled due to the rain which left me free to spend today exactly as I pleased. Soooooo happy....... There's only one thing better than a day of doing nothing - and that's a day of doing nothing when you were suppose to be doing something.  Joy. Oh. Joy. !! x

This says it all...

Today feels like the perfect home day.  I'd love to be doing nothing other than curling up on the couch with a good book, a cup of tea and maybe a DVD on standby...... Instead, I'm off to work and back to reality with a big fat thud.

Not a care in the world...

I don't know who this little girl is or even where I found this picture but I just love it. Happy Melbourne Cup day x

With that thought I'm off to sleep...
