Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

  There’s something quietly satisfying about growing a rosemary plant from clippings—watching the roots stretch out in water, then settling it into soil where it takes hold and thrives. My little rosemary plants are starting to grow little lilac flowers on it too. This small act of nurturing reminds me that patience invites beauty, the same way crocheting a beanie does—stitch by stitch, loop by loop, something useful and comforting forms from almost nothing.  More moments of beauty... white blossoms on a tree, freshly piped pistachio cannoli from my favourite Cannoli Bar and a goldstone ring I found at a secondhand jewellery stall. I'm very fond of it because it reminds me of one my baba always used to wear.  And to finish this post, I'll show you my Leona Edmiston clover dress that I found in an opshop for $8. The real star of the show is this bunch of daffodils though. Aren't they just gorgeous? Title : Everybody Loves Somebody by Dean Martin. Please visit my: eBay Sto...

  House hunting... it's a lot of work! Looking at real estate listings every day, going to inspections every weekend, putting in offers, making bids at auctions. Homes are very expensive at the moment! It's an exciting time, making you're own space and envisioning yourself in your very own home. Recently I inspected a home by a little lake but it wasn't quite for me. I did have a lovely stroll in the sunshine though and admired these yellow wattle flowers. So pretty, growing in many places across Australia. Some other things that have been happening lately... I made my own Turkish Delight! The gorgeous trees at my work are always a delight to look at. Something I enjoy eating once in a while... smoke salmon and cream cheese on toast. Also m y favourite... Krisy Kreme donuts. A gorgeous pot of flowers I brought from Bunnings. I'm going to keep the bulbs and replant them next year. A trip to the beach on a sunny day. What are you up today? X Title : The Middle by Jim...

  A day trip is the perfect way to spend hours driving around, admiring nature and picking some flowers. That's exactly what my mum and I did the last time we visited one of our favourite country towns, Daylesford. Everywhere we looked we spotted Australia's iconic yellow wattle. It's so stunning and a beautiful contrast to my black, velvet dress that I found in an opshop near my work. I like to visit there and chat to the ladies that work there and find the occassional treasure. This black dress with long, flutter sleeves reminds me of something fabulous that Morticia Addams would wear! My mum and I were so delighted to spot a field of daffodils on the side of a road. We happily frolicked around despite the slippery mud and picked a few to take home. I love that the yellow flowers coincidentally compliment the sunflowers on my Afghan coat. Some creative person made these horse and lion sculptures using bits of tree trunks. There are some very creative people in the world. ...
