The beautiful bowl is white and copper and is made of paper mache, it comes from Etsy seller etco and measures 3 1/2 inches wide & 1 3/4 inches tall, this would make a perfect catch for your rings or jewelry.

(Note: not designed to hold food or liquid)

Christmas wrapped up & some thoughtful presents

I feel so blessed, not only did we get to spend Christmas with our amazing family's, I received so many beautiful presents. I hope you enjoyed yourself & shared some precious time with those you love.

The gifts were soooo thoughtful i just had to white a post about them!....

My husband gave me the book" I married adventure" it is reminiscent of his love for adventure and of course I am in love with the Zebra print cover, the book is from 1940. It is displayed with two old corbels and a photograph of my nan taken on Palm beach (original photograph a Christmas gift from my mum).

My mum went all out this year with wonderfully personalised presents (photograph bottom: from left to right):
1. A cream coloured hand knitted pillow (knitted by mum, beautiful)
2. A box jam packed of milk glass. Love!
3. My nans hand painted bone china tea set, the intricacy on the pieces is amazing. Not too sure how I will display it, any ideas?
4. A beautiful pair of framed photographs of my nan and grandparents.

check out the detail on the tea cup and saucer!

My mother in law quilted these black and white butterflies and framed it. I already have it displayed in the lounge room.

And here is our tree, all the gifts wrapped (hubby ended up helping)

 A snippet of the winter wonderland at my mum's house, she went all out this year with the decorations.

Not long now until 2011.

Looks like we will be spending new years with our friends enjoying a dinner or two in Sydney,

what do you have planned?

'Tis the Season

Still on the hunt for the perfect gift? How about a BUMBRELLA? You are probably asking what a Bumbrella even is, it's a Bumble and bumble umbrella! As cute as it's name it's sure to cheer anyone up on even the gloomiest of days.

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA

Still looking for the perfect gift? What about a swimsuit?! A unique gift to give in the middle of winter but the recipient is sure to LOVE it! Kortni Jeane has a selection of cute, stylish, modest swimsuits. Check out her blog for more style options.

Last Minute Father's Day Gifts

If your dad (or husband) is anything like ours he's the kind of guy who has everything. Which leaves you struggling to find a last minute gift for Father's Day. What better to give then the gift of great hair?

tonic shampoo: a more masculine shampoo that offers not only a thorough cleanse but a strong sensory experience that soothes the scalp. Tea Tree oil never felt so good!

sumotech: for the hip dad. Has a lightweight flexible hold, matte finish and smells great.

Bb. gel: for the traditional dad. This is not your average stiff, sticky gel. Bb. Gel is flexible, never sticky and the best part is it's brushable and will never flake! (Not to mention there's no alcohol in it)

Still iffy about what to get him? We offer Gift Certificates for even the pickiest of men!

On top of being relaxing one of our facials is perfect for brightening dull winter skin...
