Its been a very exciting week here getting ready for the market tomorrow, though I think the most exciting chapter has been saved til today! Rick at Frank Creates is signwriting on Frankie as we speak/type. I love Rick’s philosphy when it comes to his craft. Couldn’t believe how lucky I was to find a […]

A couple of you have asked to see Frankie’s ‘before’ shots. Well, here they are. She came to us with a bottle green and pistachio interior, lots of ‘bad boy’ surf stickers on her windows (remember those board shorts from the early 199o’s! ha), a ridiculous amount of electrical switches, some hippy affirmation stickers on […]

Thought I would share a couple of shots with you of what will be on offer at the ‘Travelling Wares’ Market stall this saturday. I personally love mixing vintage pieces with the new; it elevates the interest in your home and offers a unique approach to decorating a room. Be it the kitchen, bathroom or […]

Finally I can share with you my EXCITING NEWS! I recently bought a gorgeous vintage 1956 Franklin Caravan (affectionally known as Frankie) and have turned her into my ‘Travelling Wares’ pop up Caravan Shop! Yup, thats right, I have a caravan now, which is also a shop! A love of early morning hunting and scouring […]

I know its not my ‘usual’ genre of post, however I thought I would put it out there. Timothy O and I have a three gorgeous golden Pekin Bantam roosters to give away to good homes. You can’t have roosters in suburbia, or we would keep them. We have reared them since they were born […]

Ah, big city life, I must admit I do love it. Sydney is such a superb city offering a diverse array of offerings. So much so that one could almost be forgiven to find themselves at a loss when it comes to the age old question… ‘Where are we going to eat tonight?’ ** Scroll […]

Ah, Sydney. Great to see you. Its been a while! Yes – I’m in Sydney for the rest of the week, for a bit of work and a bit of pleasure. Love it! xx ©Ken Done

You may remember that the week before last I mentioned that I was off on a buying trip here. Well, this was one of my fabulous finds! A sweet 19th Century petite stool with cabriole legs – a real find! This style of stool would of been traditionally placed in the bedroom, however the way […]

One of my favourite things to do is design invitations, for myself and other people. Call me old fashion, though for me there is nothing more exhilarating than opening up the mail box to be surprised to find a sweet little envelope containing a gorgeous and thoughtful tactile invite.

With a honeymoon destination in mind, I was trawling through my file of ‘dream holiday destinations’ last night when I came across The Huka Lodge in New Zealand. This one has been on my dream list for some time now. Founded in the 1920’s, Huka Lodge is considered to be ‘the iconic New Zealand retreat’. […]

I almost forgot! Last year I posted about my love and hunt for a beautiful free standing cupboard here. Well, I finally found one. She is residing in the spare room for now, until her special spot is built (yes, I am a chicken before the egg kinda girl), though is happy filled to the […]
