Donna Hay Blue

I have made my Donna Hay  purchases at David

Jones but the  Donna Hay General store has so

much more.  Lucky I don't live in Sydney anymore or I

would be visiting the store at every chance.

I might have to make a few online purchases.

I love these little silicon condiment bowls

Pretty cake stand with holes for cooling.

My dream shop frontage.

Blue cotton twine, love it.

Love her cake stands, if only she did one in blue.

Off to do some work.

Have a lovely Monday.

Easter Monday Breakfast.

Started off the morning with  something yummy.

The kids had a small stack of pancakes with 

frozen berries, ice cream and maple syrup.

I opted for pancakes cooked with

fresh ricotta berries then topped with

fresh ricotta and maple syrup.

Just one for me.

Diet starts next week.

Pergola and Pool update.

We had a re-think on the pool pergola

yesterday.  I suddenly realized that we would

be looking down on the roof of it from our veranda

and we have a surf mist roof.  Might be a bit glarey.

So we thought maybe a white pergola with something beautiful

growing over the top.

We also have to decide on a pool fence colour.

The pool guys all say to go for a dark colour like 

the picture below but I  am wondering if it will 

look to heavy against our light house.

Thought?  I was leaning towards surf mist

which is the colour of our roof

Or a light one like below??

Just love this whole picture.

Now vision it here, about where that box it sitting, 

surrounded by sandstone pavers and strip gardens.

A nice Magnolia or olive tree to the right.

And a couple of Adirondack chairs in front.

available via ebay.com.au

Coping and waterline tiles are done.

Drifting sand Himalayan Quartz tiles

and glass Azure mosaics

I love the way they shimmer in the sun

Can't wait till its finished, but don't think there

will be swimming until next summer.

Have a great day

Having fun with Easter

We are having a little Easter brunch Soiree with our neighbours

so my Ruby and I decided we will have a bit of fun

with it.  Also gives us some Holiday crafts to do.

We went hunting for some ideas, you can't 

go past Martha for some great craft and decorating ideas.

something new to do with my hanging birds

I love wreaths and always looking for an excuse

 to bring them out anytime.

I love this egg shaped one with the birds

and the nest.

We started blowing out the eggs

getting ready to decorate.

The $2 shops and Spotlight also have

some great cheap Easter craft.

  

These could be done with poly eggs

or blown eggs

Going to do one of these cloches with some candied 

eggs from Big W

Going to finish off the morning with an Easter hunt.

What are you doing for Easter?
