In the post today: 05.11.12

This morning I had a very early visitor at my front door.... my new bestie Mr Postman, coming to deliver a few parcels. 

 I honestly can't think of anything better  first thing on a Monday morning than a pile of delicious goodies arriving at your front door.  How about you?

My amazing Juju hat arrived from tabletonic - which is oh so divine. This was a 30th birthday pressie from a very dear friend and fellow blogger, Lindsay from the suburban hacienda - a must to bookmark.

 My second parcel,also from the lovely Linds was a how-to book/guide by Heidi Adnum on taking great photos. 

Ladies, this is going to be very useful in the coming months - exciting times are ahead!!!

My third and final parcel was my Inside Out magazine subscription. Yippee!!

I am so excited about the cover, I am guessing this is going to be a good issue....  

 

What did you get delivered today??

I would love to hear.

Easton Pearson "Coromandal": 19.10.12

Those clever ladies at Easton Pearson, Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson have done it again! Another fabulous collaboration with Australian rug company Designer Rugs. As you would expect it is a visual explosion of bright bold colour in gorgeous floral prints. 

Lydia's eclectic Brisbane home, filled with covetable mid-century pieces was the ideal backdrop in which to showcase the collection.

L.A love affair: 18.10.12

I don't know what it is... could it be this beautiful sunny weather, could it be all the colour and print via fashion and home wares that is around at the moment could it be my new found health kick or could it be that Mr.P and I are currently planning an L.A visit? But just at the moment I am having a complete love affair for all things L.A,the city of Angels.

Here is a short list of all things  L.A that I'm loving:
