Cute Bunting Necklace

I was very excited to receive my cute new necklace from Etsy the other day. If you have read my blog before - you will know that I love buntings (flags). So, you can imagine my delight when one night while I was browsing through some etsy shops I stumbled across this adorable necklace.

This cute necklace is from Petite Deer's (Adictaaloscomplementos) Esty Shop. Shop owner Noelia also has the above necklace in a love heart garland. So sweet!

In Noelia's words - I think that these pretty necklaces capture the spirit of fete's, carnivals and love. So true!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

Easter bunting via Sweetly Scrapped Art

Wow! It has been a busy morning but we have all had soooo much fun. I love using buntings around the house for decorations and the bunting above I found on a great blog - Sweetly Scrapped Art.It was so easy to make and I think it looks so sweet here hanging on our little kitchen cupboard.

Here are some photos of the little ears that I downloaded last night for free from Ellinee Design House. I wasn't sure if the kids would like them very much but all the kids wore them proudly....even the boys! Better still...I had help from the neighbours kids last night to cut them all out. Bonus!

Here are the kids in our street (including my daughter - in stripes)searching for easter eggs with their cute little easter bunny ears.

I organised these cute little easter egg baskets last night - also with help from some of the local kids. Thanks kids! I already had the little white noodle boxes (from Red Dot) so all I had to do was download some of the easter bunny foot prints from the the creative team at Love Mae, cut them out and glue them on. Too easy!

Thanks to the help of my daughter and the local kids I completed the little easter egg baskets rather quickly so rather than throw out the left over cut out foot prints we stuck them on these pretty blue paper cups that I already had from Ikea (left over from my daughter's birthday party earlier this year). 

As the kids were busy cutting and glueing the cups and bunny ears I got busy and cut out these easter flags from ellinee and stuck them on these sweet paper straws which were also left over from my daughter's birthday party. The straws were bought from Hey YoYo.

I love this photo of my little girl looking for easter eggs left by the easter bunny. She looks so serious! I am very impressed that she kept her bunny ears on! 


Thank you to all the clever and amazing people who kindly made their awesome Easter decorations available online for free! Thank you!!!


I really love how Easter brings family and friends together. I hope that you had a fun and creative Easter too!

Happy Yellow

I am enjoying the burst of happy yellow whenever I go past my tv room (in my last post). I feel a little burst of energy and happiness whenever I catch a glimpse of my yellow gnome and lamp. 


While my little girl was having a nap today I decided to jump online and see how other people have injected a bit of happy yellow into their spaces. This is what I found.

Awesome styling!!!!!!! Check out the cool light fitting.

I just love the above image. No....I mean I really LOVE this image!!!! I want my kitchen to look like this. I love how this kitchen looks fun, fresh and bright. I am also loving the colourful bunting hanging in the kitchen. I wonder if I would be allowed to do this in my kitchen??? I want to go to a party at this house! The gorgeous image is from Lolalina's blog. The image was taken as part of a photo shoot for an ice cream party for an Ohio hand made ice cream company (Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams). Cool!

This is how I think yellow can look great in a home. Simple. Neutral colours and theme with an awesome pop of happy yellow. I think this works really well. This image comes from zaInteriora - a blog about all sorts of interior designs.

I am also digging this image from Urban Kaleidoscope (awesome name for a blog). Kate Challis from Urban Kaleidscope also has a post with an 'ode to yellow'. I agree with Kate - when decorating an interior - yellow looks best when used sparingly - just like in the image above. I am also a big fan of these eames chairs!

Not sure if I would ever have the courage to purchase a yellow couch but I do like this living room. I think that the yellow couch works because the rest of the living room is pretty neutral. What do you think? Could you do a yellow couch? I also really like the art work collage on the wall. The yellow in the art works ties in well with the couch. This pretty living room image is from Infoteli - a blog about architecture and interior design.

I like this last image because once again there is a lot of white in the room and the beautiful timber dining table contrasts well against the yellow chairs. I am secretly (not so secret now) thinking of purchasing some of these chairs (maybe one or two) for my dining area. The image comes from Home Design - a blog full of interior design ideas.

Have a great week.
