I love pinterest!

If you're anything like me chances are you find find so much inspiration/tutorials/things to read on the net that you're favourites bar is so full your internet freezes just by trying to open it! Not exactly ideal. So when I heard about Pinterest I got excited! If you haven't heard about it, it's a website that allows you to create virtual pin boards. You can create pin boards under any theme you like and then you can follow the image back to it's original source. But as if that wasn't great enough you can follow other people's boards, re-pin images from other people's boards, re-tweet your pins...etc! While I haven't quite mastered the following of other people's boards and the re-pinning etc (which is probably a good thing, as I'd never leave the computer) I am simply in love with pinterest!

Neglected Again...

Once again this blog has been neglected for far too long. It started when the bf and I went over our downloads and spiralled out of control from there…

So the highlights since I've been awol from the blog (apart from spending time with friends and family and the bf) have been a weekend down at Dormana with the bf. This included a lot of op-shopping and looking at vintage/thrift stores as well as lots of eating! The bf and I also had a lovely drive around Kyneton/Trentham/Daylesford area, the bf is from Tretham and we went to school in Kyneton, it's amazing to see how much things have changed since we grew up there...

Some of the great finds from the trips include:

A beautiful bangle, a pile of blue buttons (some of which are vintage and the same as ones my mum has from my great grandmother!)

A pile of vintage pillowcases and a gorgeous vintage mint necklace.



And some beautiful vintage keys!!

Tread Lightly Tuesday

If you're anything like me, chances are you have several notebooks on the go. So what's a eco-friendly girl to do - find a pretty notebook that is made of recycled leather and paper, of course! And these gorgeous notebooks by Kate's Paperie fit the bill - they're almost too pretty to use!

Fabulous Friday Finds

With the days getting colder and colder I thought I'd share some lovely handmade pieces to keep you warm this Winter - enjoy!

{1.,  2.,  3.,  4.,  5., 6.} 

1. The Kwan Medium Cowl Neckwarmer in Dark Red Merino Wool by Tracce. These cowl neckwarmers seem to be quite popular at the moment, they look great and very cosy!

2. I love wearing dresses, but in winter it's very hard to find lovely dresses that are easy to layer so I can keep warm. This Beautiful Dress in Purple and Black by My Lola Fashion looks like it would work well in winter or spring and would transition from work to play very well.

3. The Everyday Dress by Artaffect also looks like a great dress for layering. I love how versatile this dress is!

4. These Tubeway Armies Arm Warmers by Gaye Abandon are made out of recycled 100% wool jumpers. They're perfect for keeping your arms and hands warm, but your fingers free for those touch-screen gadgets!

5. I love the open-knit, design and colour of the Forest Folk Slouch Beanie in Violet by Talk 2 the Trees.

6. Half-jacket, half-hoodie! I love the Crossley Jacket Asymmetrical Hoodie by Stitch and Bolt for its unique design and for being made out of 100% organic cotton.

Tread Lightly Tuesday

Eating fresh, local and organic produce is the way to go if you want to be environmentally friendly and eat the best produce available. One great way to do so is to grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs. However not all of us are blessed with a green thumb or a garden/balcony to grow anything edible on. So today I thought I'd share with you one of the cutest solutions to growing your own herbs at home, indoors - the GrowBottle Upcycled Hydrogardens!

They're available from Branch and you can read a review on them here.

I just love that they're made out of recycled wine bottles! And I'd think they'd make a great gift, especially for a housewarming.
