Mathilda's Markets

After another great day at Mathilda's Markets, Ruby and I popped in to a little shop in Ascot called Victor Scot.  A lovely gift and homewares shop that  has lots of those French collection style homewares.
Could have easily spent the days takings in one hit but have to save for my Riviera  Maison bar stools for my new kitchen.  Completely in love with these.





This morning we are off to the block of land to meet the builder to go over a few things.
Ahh, one step closer to my dream home.

More time

Don't you think we should get an Alice as standard issue when you get married and have kids.
Then there would be more time to sew and relax here

Creative Baking

As promised, I baked with my Ruby yesterday. Due to a lack of 'interesting' bakeware we decided to make the cake in a pudding steamer.  We were going to turn it upside down and make a dome but it came out like a huge cupcake.
After a little secret remodeling by Tobey, my three year old, Ruby did some creative cake decorating and this is what we ended up with.
Now back to the sewing machine.

Boutique Markets

A beautiful day down at Hamilton.
Leasl and Rachael did a great job putting together the Kids and Pets Day.
A sad good bye to Leasl as she leaves us for other things.  All the best, we will miss you.




The Chandelier birdcages are available by order.  Contact me through the website if you are interested.
Off to get ready for Mathilda's on Saturday.

Kitchen Lights

After a little research I found Interiors Online, who are importing some Riviera Maison from Holland.
Anyone who is a fan will know that they are not being imported for retail at the moment so there things are getting hard to find. I have just put in an order for these gorgeous pendant lights for my kitchen island bench....



And dreaming of these for my open shelves in my shaker style kitchen

Welcome to my new blog.

Here I will be posting things of creativity, inspiration and little snippets of our house while  we are building.
Not all of my items make it to my website so drop in here to find special orders and market pieces.
I will also keep you updated with my Market movements.
This Sunday is the official launch of Ruby and Belle at the Boutique Markets at Hamilton.  A lovely morning out, and so many beautiful things for sale.
 Some lovely  new items  will be on display plus many of my old favorites.  
The new website is up and running, still need to add more items but will do so over the next few weeks

These have to be my favorite Bird Cages so far.
I waited a long time for them to come into stock and I unfortunately only ordered a few sets and are now out of stock again.
So off to market they go on Sunday.  Available in two sizes, be quick as they won't last long.
They are made from a combination of white painted timber and  wire with my little hanging bird with a white feathered tail.



Portside is running a Kids and Pets day on Sunday with a fashion Parade and lots of fun things.  Check out the details here.
Next Saturday I am heading to Mathilda's Markets at Ascot Race Course.
Details are here
