colour inspiration....

Our little terrace at home has been bare ever since we moved in a year ago. We have obviously been a bit slack.... Last week a friend was giving away an outdoor sofa he no longer needed so we snapped it up and gave it a new home. The terrace is now my new favourite little corner at home (and in fact I am blogging from here now) - but it is in dire need of some decorating. I went cushion shopping today and found some great fuchsia + orange cushions which I think may become the theme for out here...

The fashion house celebrated yesterday with the 2015 Spring/Summer showcase in Sydney at the Opera House. A beautiful, elegant and gorgeous collection. Well played Ms Zampatti.

Music memories

Walking down the aisle: First dance:

Back to blogging..

And I'm back... I have found myself with some more spare time up my sleeve recently and a friend suggested that I should throw myself back into blogging again so here I am! It's crazy that it's been almost a year since my last post. 2015 was a bit of a pretty dramatic year for us on the health front so we are hoping for a lot less drama this year! But it will be a big year with a new home purchase and us moving in mid-year. So that means some renovating and decorating which I will hopefully post about here. The pinning has already begun...! In the meantime, we just enjoyed a lovely long Easter weekend at home and hosted some friends for lunch on Easter Saturday. First time we made a lamb roast (and it turned out great to our delight) and we also pulled out the same hot cross buns recipe that I used last year which was a hit. I think this will become an annual Easter tradition. I really do love cooking for family and friends so I think my next hosting cha...
