The old storeroom....

Check out my GORGEOUS new pantry!!

Once a storeroom behind the kitchen, now a new door connects it

 and I can call it a proper pantry with room even for the 

vacuum, recycling bin, step ladder etc.

After months and months of looking at real estate, 

we've decided to stay put for a few more years where we are...

so instead of doing all those jobs just before selling a house, 

we're doing them now so WE can enjoy the benefits  :)

So this is job number one from a rather long wish list...

luckily DD is quite the handyman x

Still life

This is my dining table today!

I feel serene just looking at it...and wish I could 'still' my life into a still life for a bit.

Feeling very overwhelmed today with way too much to do...

anyway, as Dante the poet said 'the secret to getting things done, is to act'.

I love this simple quote...so I'll stop worrying about it all and get on with it!

On that note, I will be absent from my personal blog for a week or so, until I can finish photoshopping the wedding and get all the piccies to their new home!

time for tea...

Yesterday afternoon I found myself re-arranging all the ornaments around the house. A few months ago I remember seeing a few tea cups lined up on a window sill

in a magazine and I just had to try it too!

Very cute and as I don't get them out often, it's nice to see my collection of tea cups.

The polka dot ones were my grandmothers and seem very 'Alice in Wonderland' and dreamy.

Some I got from daggy old Spotlight, others the antique shop in Paddington,

so I have an eclectic mix!

Then we have the special one...survived being posted back from England from my good friend Narelle as a gift to me, not sure how old it is or anything, but I love it and treasure it.
