whites and linen







I was looking on etsy for "local finds" and thought I would try and find some interesting items in Tasmania. I came across an etsy seller who is based in Tasmania who does lovely linen cushions and who also writes a lovely blog marley and lockyer.
This lovely blog has got me wondering whether my whole "cover my couches in wild colours thing" is all wrong...

more fabrics








We have had an odd summer up here. Not particularly summery... just muggy. I have decided to get out the sewing machine and sew myself some new work skirts. My mother's aunt used to own a haberdashery store and I have been given some lovely fabrics. These skirts are lovely bright inspirational pieces. They are from here, here, here,here and here.

more beautiful couches







I am thinking this whole patchwork thing is just lovely and was surprised to find another Vendor who does this style. I found these here at www.couchgb.com and at desire to inspire.

I think I am in love







Just look at these beautiful creations from Squint. The work in these is just beautiful. Serious project time required for these pieces of fabric art.

dreaming away




Just dreaming at work today about how nice it would be to work and own an antique shop - maybe like Melinda Fletcher from Ghost Whisperer (minus the ghosts). Pics from here.

Foster Puppy



I pick up my first foster puppy tomorrow from the Vet. He is super cute. I hope someone adopts him soon so that I don't get the chance to fall in love with him. I hope he and Benson love each other too! His owner is to be evicted from a home over the weekend and so the local charity has requested that homes be found for 9 dogs and 6 cats! Do you want to adopt him?
