Here is our Christmas Lunch menu for 2011 menu. I am particularly excited about the entrees as I really enjoy making my own pastry and lasagne sheets. Timothy O will be ‘manning it up‘ and taking charge of the wood fire oven downstairs. We always have Logan Wines on Christmas Day too, sort of a […]

What do you think? 1930’s children’s rocking chairs! Are they going to rock your world? I love a rocking chair and couldn’t go past these ones. Aren’t they beautiful! I can’t decide which one is my favourite; the top one or the bottom one. Which is yours? K x

Christmas has come early in our house… well, it sort of had to. I think Timothy O would of had a hard time hiding this life size gift for me under the Christmas tree! I have lusted after an original French dressmakers mannequin for years. We had a very special guest here on Sunday and I […]

O’ Christmas Tree…. this is our Christmas tree Timothy O and I made out of branches in the back yard last year. I do love it so very much… plus it packs away to near nothing, just a neat pile of wood! I don’t know about you, though I am absolutely hanging out for Christmas […]

You know when you see someone from afar and you can just tell that you are going to be friends? Something about them immediately makes you take notice and you just know that they are your kind of person. When I was much younger at primary school it would have been as simple as someone […]

That’s right…. Tomorrow’s Travelling Wares appearance at the Jan Power’s Farmers Market has been cancelled… due to  unforeseen excitement! All will be revealed very soon I promise. No, I’m not skipping off to the beach… or having a lay in…. it is work related and very exciting! Apologies to anyone who was planning on coming […]

Thought I would share a few wedding images with you that have been making their way onto my mood board for our wedding in May. There are little elements I like about each shot – the colours, the textures…. how many weddings am I allowed to have? I love the relaxed mantilla (veil). Am I […]

Thats right! We will be at the Jan Power’s Farmers Market this Saturday from 6am! It is the second last market for the year! Hope to see you all there! K xx  

So the end has finally come. Above is our empty living room and also a close up of the tone and opacity of wash we achieved with Porters Paints Wood Wash. I am absolutely thrilled! Click here and here and here and here to see the progress, or just search within my blog for floor sanding. If you are thinking […]

Finally! It is ‘Moving Back In Day’!….. not that we actually ever moved out mind you (i think we should of)…. more along the lines of everything we own being packed up, shoved, stacked and quickly thrown in the excited anticipation of having white washed floors. Between you and I, this has taken longer than […]

I’m a little pressed for time this morning, so before I dash out the door I thought I would share this with you – you have probably all seen this before, though it still makes me giggle. Crazy morning, little Coco our youngest (and sweetest) pekin bantam hen was crowing like a rooster this morning! […]

In amongst the craziness which is our floors renovations (soon to be over) I have been stumbling (literally) across ten years worth of books and magazines that I had archived in my reference library.  One of these rediscoveries is an all time favourite – Albertus Seba’s ‘Cabinet of Natural Curiosities’, an absolute pearl of a book. I trawled […]
