toast in the post
{ok, sorry for the silly heading.}
Yesterday these beautiful catalogues arrived in the post. Can you believe that they send these out for free. These are so beautiful, the styling, the colours, the paper (FSC paper stock), the photographs of vast landscapes.
And, oh yes, the things in there.
I've found my dream dream dream dressing gown. But, by golly, at that price* I'd have to wear it every single day. So, it's staying on the dream list.
Silk velvet in cerise.
{oh, I love cerise. The word, the way it rolls around. The colour itself. I once had a skirt that I dyed cerise. A teeny little box pleat skirt. It was grey before I dyed it. And then went the most amazing deep cerise.}
Imagine wearing this dressing gown with these velvet lined slippers. Oh, one would never leave the palace would one.
I could easily show you every photo in each catalogue. But, you can view them all online here.
*165UK pounds (I can't find the little symbol on my computer...) equates to about $297 AU, then add in postage.

Go and have a play.
This is my ribbon tree - can you see the way the green swirls like ribbons.
This is going to be my new addiction, I can feel.
mmmmm.
i promise you i am working - don't want to keep blaming the kids, but..... a 5 yr old, and 2.5 yr old need more than i can offer them at the moment in terms of constant attention and energy.
in case you forgot... tomorrow is mother's day
Some Mother's Day love :: ideas.
(in case you happen to read this Sam*, I don't mind if it arrives in the post a tab bit late).
"embossed Japanese print silk scarf" by Green Olive Designs; available here. Martine is from Melbourne, Australia.
"count me the stars" by Kylie Johnson - available here. Brisbane, Australia.
"bird pendant necklace" by That Vintage; available here. Tasmania, Australia.

Alright I could go on and on. And, really - these are things I want. I'm sure my mum would have loved to receive anything from this list, and even my mother-in-law would be happy with some.
So - breakfast in bed, the dishes done, a beautiful card and a big sloppy kiss, or a phone call to your far-away mother (grandmother, sisters, aunts...).
*Sam does not, ever read this blog; except over my shoulder while I'm writing it occassionally. So, really I know that none of these things are actually going to arrive in the post, unless I treat myself (which happens even less occassionally......).
