Easter is in the air

Hello!  Welcome to my blog!  These past two weeks I have been…

Thinking about more repurposing ideas.   I found these cuties at an Op-shop, they were only 50c.  I have taken the old clip on the back off and will hot glue gun some stud bars in place.  Volia!  Cute, retro studs for me!

Yum, I have been wanting to make these Caramel Kisses for ages!  This is the second batch I have made in two weeks and they have been a huge hit!  If you cannot buy Arnott's Butternut Snap Cookies, look for cookies that have a buttery coconut base.  I found my recipe here.  Enjoy :)

Easter is in the air….well in Australia it has been since we packed away the christmas decorations!  I found these ultra cute easter decorations at my local Woolworths grocery store.   Easter has been slowly gaining a decorating following that it never has had before.   Bunnies, chocolate, thankfulness and family what's not to celebrate!

Have a glorious week,

thrifting is grand

Welcome!
Thrifting is one of my favourite things to do on a spare day.  I love hitting the op and charity shops, finding treasures and thinking of ways to repurpose items.  I feel like every time I do visit one of these shops I at least leave with one or two knick-knacks with me.  Below are some of my favourite finds and I think they describe a bit of my eclectic taste.  :)

When my nephews saw the cloud pillows I had made for my bed, they wanted me to make some for their beds.  They picked their own material and were keen to help with the stuffing.  When I saw them laying with their pillows on the couch I knew those pillows would be used to an inch of their lives!

Thrifting and stuff...

Hello!  I hope you have had a great week that was full of inspiration, love and craftiness!  I have had a busy week finding & finishing ....:)

 I always love having a poke around at my local op shops.  It always excites me the unknown treasures I might find inside.  I found this gorgeous pineapple jelly mould at a local Lifeline store for 50c.  It is in fantastic condition and I think this beauty will look lovely hanging in my kitchen.  

 I am a little obsessed with the new pendant light shade my parents have hung in their living room.  It feels decadent and a little 'Gatsby-esque'.   Feel like I should be holding a martini!

 Hanging out with my nephew, I look in the back of my car and noticed another passenger had hitched a ride with us!  He never said a peep but was pretty cute!

 I bought a set of three photo frames that were attached together with hinges from my local Salvos store for $2.  I ended up separating them and painting them with some of the left over paint from my antlers.  Above is the end product of one which I put in a postcard I found that was given away with an issue of Frankie Magazine a couple of months ago.  I am pretty stoked with the end product, it looks extra cute with the recipe easel I have used to prop it up with :)

Ta Dahhhh!!   May I present my antlers!  I am really happy with the way they ended up.  I know in my last post I was still looking for the perfect rope to complete and bind the two antlers together.  I found some Jute Twine from my local hardware store and I think it adds a little bit of rustic to them.  Yay!  I really loved the whole process of making these babies and love the end product!  I already have had a request from my nephew to mount a bear head for him....ummm ok?!? 

Have a fantastic week!
