Teacups and Roses Florist

...and my love for pink & navy lives on....This is seriously THE most beautiful florist I have ever been to. Situated in Murwillumbah on the far north coast of NSW lies a lovely old fashioned shop where flowers abound. Trinkets and treasures delight and awaken the senses and I only wish I could of taken photos of the interior for you, but alas it was not open this day! Ahh..better luck next time. Now I want to be a florist!

Note: Please forgive me for my terrible photography skills!

Scents of Spring

My first Gardenia's of the season have bloomed (my favourite), along with my Bird of Paradise & my Star Jasmine has just exploded into full flower & scent as well... I just love this time of year. It reminds me of the warmer weather to come! I especially love the smell of wattle as well, as we have a lot of wattle bushes around our neighbourhood here. As you can see I placed my beloved gardenias in my teacup on my bedside table so every morning and night I get to wake up to that lovely scent....

Pretty Petals & my sister's vase....

I bought these delightful pale pink roses from Aldi today, and what a steal @ $5.00! Just goes to show that even in this recession we can still have some pretty blooms in our homes! Now, that absolutely gorgeous black and white stripe deco vase is my sisters. She bought it from the Old & Gold Festival in Brunswick Heads (which unfortunately I couldn't attend) from a very reluctant seller. I wish it were mine! Well at least she lets me borrow it...Is'nt that what sisters are for?

Summer Lovin'

Well ladies I am off to the in-laws for a couple of nights to smell the roses and won't be back til Friday.....I am however super excited to note that today & tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy 26 degrees and I will certainly be heading to the beach for a much needed tan (naughty, naughty I know!). I just had to post this picture above from the Victoria's Secret website (A fantastic dieting resource: It will make you re-knew your gym membership and dull your appetite so you will never want to eat again - well for five minutes at least, but be warned, it does come with a side dish of depression)......

Oh how I yearn for the summertime, and pastel colours, and that body of course........
