spring cleaning in autumn

By -




In the Southern Hemisphere we are heading into Autumn but my home was still in need of a major Spring clean. Tricky when you are a bit of a hoarder and collector like me. Some things went but many things stayed and just had to be dusted - a small price to pay for collecting. Here are some of my newish vintage finds. A 1952 Royal visit to Australia tin; old wire spools, red dorcas pin tin and lovely vintage books. I do struggle with de cluttering.

Too many lovely things. If I had all your pretties, I would be a hoarder too!

What beautiful old tins! Just lovely! We did spring cleaning on easter weekend too, now our half craft room/half husband's office looks quite minimalistic to me. The joy of a husband who dislikes clutter...

I have been "de-stashing" as well. It is hard to do...

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!
