Vintage Finds

So I've never been one to obsess over vintage household items like teacups, tableclothes and French Provincial chairs;

I've always been the girl who goes straight for the modern pieces;

                                                               (Our last house we built and sadly sold)

However, in the last year my tastes seem to of spun a 360 and i now obsess over hamptons style furnishings, gorgeous chandeliers (preferably for my next bathroom or study) and Villa Maison styling products.

So in planning for my next event, the Butterfly Tea Party, i find myself searching for vintage tea sets.  Hubby wonders what i'll do with all these mismatched sets once the event is over................

My answer..................buy an elegant glass cabinet to show them of in of course!

Hoot Hoot

My latest project i'm working on is a gorgeous little Baby Shower for a very special lady.  Here's my inspiration for her shower, i'm so excited about designing this one as this baby has been a long time coming and the Mummy deserves an extra special spoiling x

A touch of grace

Back to weddings today as my sister gets closer to securing a date for her wedding next year.  She's always been a bit of a beach babe so my posting today entangles Tiffany Blue hues with a touch of Audrey Hepburn (just because i've always loved her and her grace and style would be perfect for any bride to be).

Tea Party

Don't you love a good tea party, one of those lovely girly ones where you can have a great chat with your best girlfriends and of course, consume the most devine indulgent food.  I've been to my fair share of high teas over the last few years and now I'll be hosting one of my own in my very own backyard in less than a month.  It's sure to have alot of pink as being the only girl in the family, I don't get to splurge on the pink theme very often!  Its also a charity event for a great cause so I suppose we have a very good excuse to indulge more at this one!

Great to be Green

Don't you love how something so simple can become such an inspiration.  I met a good friend of mine at the park the other week and her gorgeous little baby girl was dressed in a simple Wondersuit but the colour was amazing......a gorgeous deep emerald green.  I would love to plan a party with this colour, just gorgeous.

Jake's Birthday

So my youngest son turned 3 and friday and as I posted earlier I decided to have a last minute party for him.  It ended up larger than I expected being on a friday afternoon, but that generally happens so I should of expected it!  It was a lovely afternoon with great friends, a few games for the kids, pizza making and of course a wine or two for the Mums and Dads. 

One birthday down for the year, now onto a few other projects.......will post about these later.
