Sitting pretty

Here are the roses I bought yesterday morning looking pretty in two of my vases on our coffee table (which by the by I don't think I've mentioned before - I found thrown out by a neighbour last year - love these neighbours that do this!- acquired it therefore for free and painted it white). What makes me smile most looking at these photos is that everything in them (aside from the table) was bought for about a fifth of the original price. I don't think I'll ever stop buying second hand, it just wouldn't make sense!

I hope you all had a good weekend? Kicking mine off with iyengar yoga was the best thing - I got some really good stretches in and in the process (sadly) discovered muscles I never knew I had! We caught up with several groups of friends, showed our age in Darling Harbour on Saturday night by not really getting into the vibe of the thriving local bars (so many teens!) and wanting somewhere where 'we could hear each other talk' lol! And the beach called yesterday and I got a little sunburnt, oops!

Happy Monday! I'm staring down the barrel of a very busy week :-/

Smelling of roses

Six dollar roses at the market - what could be sweeter than that? (*clearing of throat* and a little thrifty turquoise find...)

Trying to prise myself away from the frozen yoghurt and get up the nerve to have a swim. It's going to be a hot one today!

The reading chair & breakfast

Kicking off the day with a healthy bowl of pomegranates, strawberries, blueberries and yoghurt (who am I kidding I'm also having three rounds of vegemite toast too!). I'm up bright and early as I'm off to my first yoga class this morning - wish me luck! :)

p.s. here's the matching chair - it's now our reading chair as once you sink in you can't escape!

Have a great weekend!

Colourful temptation

When we went to breakfast last Saturday I couldn't help but notice (of course I couldn't!) all the beautiful colourful window displays around at the moment.

So inviting and sadly so not open at the time we went (very early in the morning to avoid the heat). I love seeing how creative people are and it always gives me decorating ideas of my own.

I've always thought it would be fun to dress up a shop window but the danger is if it was mine I wouldn't be able to sell anything as I'd like it all too much myself. Ooh but still, I fantasise about owning a shop with perhaps a place to have a coffee too!! :-)
