Santa came early to Ruby & Belle

It has been a busy and hectic year for Ruby & Belle.
With house building and moving on top of
working and painting, which there is still more to do.


But business in wrapping up for the year and 
I am looking forward to some R & R with the family.

Especially this little one.
Introducing "Truffle" the Chocolate Ragdoll.
Isn't she just the sweetest little thing.












She has taken up residency on Mr R&B's side of the bed while he
has been away on business.  Will be funny to see how
she reacts when he gets back.

Don't forget to pop over to Ruby & Belle Boutique for last minute gifts.

Have a great Day

A little house update

Things have been slow finishing off the house.
So much painting to do still.

My table is here and hoping to have the new dining chairs by next
week.  So will post a pic when they arrive.

I have been selling off our old furniture on eBay 
with the intention of replacing it bit by bit with
new pieces.

I finally pulled out my summer linen, although the nights are still 
a bit chilly.




I had big plans for making lots of cushions but due to 
lack of time I  had to 
resort to Bed Bath & Table for some lovely white
European shams and pillow cases.
BB&T lamps too.
I did though make the linen flower cushion at the front.
Bianca Lorenne inspired.
We picked up the linen quilt in Sydney last Christmas
half price.







The sitting nook with one of our old lounges.
Deciding if I should recover it in linen and give it a skirt
or buy a slip covered ikea lounge ????
I don't really love this lounge but the shape 
goes with the rest of the furniture




Cute little tray table.

I have one in my bathroom too.
Pics to come.


It's getting there, slowly.

Happy Friday

Tres Chic - Lovely Shop

I was driving down to the Gold Coast early yesterday for
the Butterfly Tree Markets
when I realised the time on the car clock was a little
earlier than the time on my iPhone.
I was trying to work out how I got down there so fast when
my alarm had gone off at 5.15am, had a nice long shower,
stopped for coffee and banana bread on the way 
and still managed to get down to South Port by 6.30am
when it is a 1 1/2 hour drive from my place.
My phone had switched to daylight saving time, and happy
to say I wasn't the only one to get caught out.

I have driven past this little shop a few times but is not
open on Sundays, but as I was early I decided to pull over and 
have a sticky beak through the window.

Excuse my pics through the glass.
They are on face book and Rachael said they
are working on an online store too.
Will also be opening Sundays closer to Xmas.




Love Hydrangeas





The cutest table umbrella





Home wares, books, linen sigh!!



Have my eye on one of these for my front garden
under the Magnolia, that's when it gets grows a little.
Which could be a while as they are not known for being 
the fastest growing plant.



Look, mini ones, too cute.


  



Lovely



Even a little R M


I have been hibernating a bit over winter but
will do my best to warm things up a bit.

Heading to Noosa for a market in November.
If anyone can recommend some good shopping spots
I would love to hear from you.

Off to the beach with the kids, having an extra couple of
days with my niece and  nephew.

Happy Monday
Mekaela

Ps, I have just ordered my new dining table, finally
so things are starting to come together in the new house
will start posting some pics soon!!!

Pottery Barn now Posting To Austraila

I was having one of my inspirational looks on the 
Pottery Barn website and was suprised by a notice 
to pop up saying that they are now posting to Australia.
Finally.

I'm sure we will be paying more than we should but
how great to now be able to get our hand on some of
the lovely things that we have only been able to admire.




Hoping to post some more house pics soon.

Will be back

Bird House

I have been busy this week doing a few customer orders.
A little peek




These are my little bird houses to hang from a wall 
or to sit on a shelf.
I am hoping to have more available on the website
soon.  If you are in Brisbane next Saturday 6th
August, Ruby & Belle will be there.
Look out for me in the white Marque outside

Happy Friday
