3 dinosaur/planter

repurposed from plastic toys, these dinosaur planters from the small garden are my idea of gardening. i am pretty much dying over them and at $24.95 i'll take one in each colour please.

4 new things

 i have never owned a dining table and this one was too good to pass up, even though our space is a little too small i know when we eventually move it will be perfect! we do most of our eating at our outdoor table or on the couch (where, clearly, it's the most comfy) so it's exciting to have this bad boy as our first family dining space. and you know how much i love marble...

this cute scarf was $3.90 in david jones - alice bought one too and we are making them into cushions! 

   


new rose gold studded slippers from wittner - they had their first outing to a friends engagement party and were a hit! 

and finally, i have decided to make a dinosaur collection basket that i hope is full within a few months, i know it looks a bit pathetic now but trust me, it's going to get a lot bigger!

i saw these cutie pies reading this months real living (page 117) and fell in love. then when i was having a wincy shop this eve i saw them in hart and heim and they are even cuter in real life! must get me a child so i can justify them...(when has that stopped me before?) get yours from lilly and lolly. o oh, just discovered that they make dinosaurs too...

2 this week

it's a vogue FRENZY this month with vogue UK, vogue australia, vogue living australia and vogue paris and they are all GREAT issues. vogue paris in particular is a beauty this month and it's huge, more like a september issue. my favourite discovery of the issue was kate moss' collection for french jeweller fred. think tiny tiny diamond encrusted stars, moons and anchors and thin as a wisp stacking rings. not sure when/where i can get my mits on some but it's my mission to find out! click here to peep the collection

my sweet, sweet beloved walked past a national geographic shop and bought this for me knowing my love for dinosaurs. this one's great because she is soft and bendable

my beautiful friend jacqui pilfered bought me these gardenias, she got me two big fat bunches and my ENTIRE place now smells of sweet gardenia

finally, i bought two vase options from ebay for the wedding. the ball jar on the left is too tall and slim and the beaker may be too polarizing. it all depends on something special i am waiting on from etsy. i was actually contacted by the florist and she said she may be able to get the vases i desperately want so fingers crossed, not sure how she will react when i tell her we are doing the flowers ourselves! keep you posted peeps...
