For the girls!










































Just thought I'd do a post for all the "little" and "big" girls out there. Came across these goodies on FaceBook, and then checked out their websites/blogs. I love all the sweet colours, the odd bit of tulle, patchwork and the gorgeous handmade! Makes me think I should get back to making some little girls "stuff" again, it's always such fun!!

Pia Jane Bijkerk

I was looking at this lovely bloghttp://blog.piajanebijkerk.com/WordPress/- last week! This girl is a little bit clever!!! Pia is a most lovely stylist, Photographer and Author. I have posted some of her work here, but to get the full idea pop over to her blog!


There are also details of her new, and what looks like FABULOUS book on there too, I most certainly will be getting my hands on a copy. Its called My Heart Wanders, and no doubt will be as inspiring and gorgeous as her blog!


Pia divides her time between Sydney, Paris and a House Boat in Amsterdam....Sigh!!

In the photos below I especially like- The Door and The Swan- Sweet....

Renos Part 1

Here are a few photos from my own renovations!! We had to dig into the back yard to extend the house slightly- giving us a big laundry, second toilet And a second living room! 

I re-used windows from demolished parts of the house and found lovely recycled French doors and a lovely Window for the "new" living room!!! We still have lots of work to do, but at least have some grass again instead of dirt/clay/mud, as you can see from the last photo. 

I'm blogging this at work while its a little quiet, so I don't have access to alot of reno photos, but I will post more soon, who knows it might even be of something finished!!!

Excavation Maddness, they dug out some of my beautiful roses :(, but I have just ordered some new ones, and my lovely hubby is busy building a veggie patch, so I will post our "garden progress soon"!!


Lovely old window I found at "coastie's Big Shed" in Corrimal NSW- LOVE


Oh what joy to have tiles at our back door finally!


The bath you can see in this pic, is now in our ever so lovely "new" bathroom! I will also post "bathroom pics" soon, although my youngest daughter did just pull the towel rails off the wall :( The French doors are also from "Coasties Big Shed" And will soon be painted white....


Grass is so much better than mud!:)
