Thank you for all your kind words the other week...
My girlfriend Jaki, remembered the date of my Dad's passing,
sent me a text during the day,
asking if I was up for a coffee date or something in the evening... ☺
She picked me up at 0730pm and she brought me tulips
- one of my all time favourite flowers!
In my head, I imagined we were going up to our local coffee club,
but she surprised me and drove us in to South Bank, Brisbane,
to Max Brenner's chocolate bar... ☺
Anything and everything Chocolate!
We shared a plate of 'Chocolate Dip'
- strawberries and melted chocolate...
...and also a plate of 'Banana Praline Crêpes' with vanilla ice-cream.
It was OMGoodness, sooo good!
Yummy☺
My beautiful friend Jaki
Here we are, ready to indulge!
Thank you Jaki,
for turning a difficult and emotional day into a really lovely one!
You and your amazing family rock☺

Outdoor view - in the middle of Winter
Welcome to our home!
This is our front door entrance area.
We are lucky we are not next to the road.
We have a small drive way up to our little house.
Our home is not very small - a normal Australian 3 bedroom brick home.
A few different plants in our stone garden... a money tree, a couple of yucca palms
and a hot pink plant, which we call Lily's plant - because it's pink!
Not sure the name of it,
'Lily's plant' is good enough for me lol
Plants are lush and green after all the rain.
Our dream is to have a big wooden deck out here.
Beautiful blue sky - not a cloud in sight
The brick would look lovely rendered and with beautiful wooden windows.
*dreaming*
The yucca palms grow so quickly,
getting taller by the minute.
So nice with a beautiful sunny day after all our rainy days...
Today, we had a top of 20°C/68°F.
Not bad for a winter's day!
Wishing you all a really awesome day - wherever you are☺

Mixed blue enamel
Finally Friday here! It feels like it's been raining, more or less, every day since school started after the holidays. Sure, we've had beautiful sunshine too... but mostly rain. Normally, our Australian winters are dry and sunny.
When the kids are watching a movie or are asleep, I'm able to potter around the house - doing what I like the most - change the decor around a bit. Sometimes I go blind and don't realise what treasures I have here, treasures which might be tucked away in a cupboard or up on a shelf.
I love blue enamelware. Even though I try to incorporate more white in my kitchen, I have to be honest to myself - I'm a blue enamelware girl, no doubt about it!

Mixed blue enamelware!
Blue and chippy
An European mix of blue goodness.
Beautiful shades of blue
Blue, blue... and more blue!
My kitchen corner,
Earthy tiles, wood and enamel.
Heavenly blue
Tea pot from Arabia, Finland.
Love the Scandinavian pattern.
Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend♥
