Pom Pom Love | April 09, 2013

You may have noticed a mini explosion of pom poms around pinterest and the blogosphere lately...  so I thought I'd do a little round-up of some of my personal faves!

Life Tastes Better with Sprinkles | March 28, 2013

For our Australia Day BBQ back in Jan, I put together this little Ice-Cream Sundae bar. (Yes, I am obsessed with Sundae bars.) It is now a permanent fixture in our home.

It may appear to be intended for small children but no, it, in fact, catered for full-grown adults. All of the objects I've used to style it are part of my own collection because, basically, I am a large child. This table design is totally a manifestion of my colourful, eclectic and exceedingly infantile mind. 

And yes, perhaps including a pic of Audrey Hepburn these days is a tad cliché, but I don't care, she's awesome. (It was a toss up between her and Audrey Tautou.)

Oh and, by the way, if you ever plan to use plastic amber bottle dispensers for your toppings, don't get anything too thick- it will be a massive fail :(

I'm so in love with my test tube rack of colourful sprinkles! (I've re-used some old Happy Lab tubes.)

Confetti sprinkles are the bomb.

Happy Easter/Passover weekend everybody! :)

Bits of Happy... | March 27, 2013

Happiness comes from... discovering a new candy store in Prahran called The Red Balloon... the cute pie chart LoveHate brooch I picked up from Lulu in Balaclava... decorating mini wooden spoons with coloured paint and patterned tape... playing with my new Motex to create neon labels... my ever-expanding collection of cute hairclips... and our beloved mutt Sukie.

Also, doesn't this Gorman print make you smile?

Bits of Happy... | March 18, 2013

Another collection of both new and old objects that make me smile... (Including a design that will be a part of an upcoming freebie that I'm currently working on- stay tuned!)

By the way, don't you just love the two-toned balloon!? Picked up a set locally from Handworks in Prahran.

Also recently picked up this cutesy card by Apak.

Silly me, didn't take note of the designer of the necklace. Anyone know? I got it from Crate Expectations in Malvern.

Toodles!
