I heart old things

studio computer corner
latest vintage finds
more lovely vintage tins for my kitchen
so pleased with mr cat head vase
tidy desktop study/studio
tidy studio
my two younger girl's room
My spring (actually Autumn) cleaning continued over the holidays. I managed to sort out my girls room, and my studio (pictured above) while my husband tackled the garage. But I also managed to accumulate a few more vintage finds and I have come to the realisation that I just love old things and can't help myself from collecting. My recent finds being the cat head vase, more tins for the kitchen, a pretty pile of gloves, tapestry purse, 1932 handwritten recipe book and paper rose stickers. Ahh what lovely finds, now where to put them all??

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
