A few weeks back -- just before jetting off across the world -- I was invited by Freedom Australia to pop down to the Moore Park store and style a living scene using pieces from the new Spring / Summer range. Now I could have picked the living space option, starting with a faux brick wall and a gorgeous lounge in-situ, but for so much as I wanted to live my dream of having a stylish living room (if only for an hour) I felt I should probably go for the dining space instead. It was at this … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: February/March 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. With a double dose because February flew by before I knew it. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans Even though we eat gluten our go-to pizza dough is from Emma Galloway's cookbook My Darling Lemon Thyme (because it is just that good). When … [Read more...]
Sweet Valentine | Gift Guide 2015
A special gift guide to celebrate the one you love -- not just today but every day. While I'm not a huge fan of the commercialism and pressure of Valentine's Day I do love celebrating love -- and there's no reason that you can't surprise your Valentine with sweet treats all month long. From beautiful items for breakfast in bed and decorative declarations of love, to alternative bouquets and of course chocolate, a bit of glitter and outside the box thinking goes a long way any day of the … [Read more...]
Happy Hostess and #shopsmall Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Next up in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide series… ideas to make any hostess smile. Some people entertain with ease, others love hosting but can never quite relax. Either way, a thoughtful hostess gift is a simple way to say "thank you for the invite, we're so glad we could be here". While any of these gifts would make the recipient smile as-is, an extra little something (say a cake in the dome or a bouquet in the jug) is the perfect way to add an extra personal touch. ** In an effort to support … [Read more...]
Let’s Brunch Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Next up in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide series… ideas for the brunch-addict in your life. My obsession with brunch is well documented so it's only fitting that my second gift guide was assembled with a singular focus on the best meal of the day. Anything (ok everything) on this list would make me quite happy on Christmas morning but it's the waffle maker, followed by the Tea-iere, that I'm really coveting. Of course those plates would make fine props... 1 Stoneware 12-Cup Egg Tray by Rachael … [Read more...]
Best Ever Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Dairy Free, Nut Free & Probably Paleo too)
This is THAT cake. The one I've been making roughly every other week for the past few months and sharing mercilessly across social media. The one that needs very few words but plenty of photos. The one that stops people in their tracks when they taste it, and again when they realise it's not only gluten free but nut free and dairy free and soy free too, and again when they hear about the frosting. The one I held off on posting until I could justify making a four layer cake by … [Read more...]
DIY Christmas Ornaments and a very Merry Christmas to all!
You know those things that have been on your list for years before you finally get around to them? Yep, this is one of mine. Ornaments made one day last week when I should have been doing other things but, because creative distraction gene, I did this instead. A meditative break from a mountain of work, spent rolling and pressing and smoothing and cutting. Making pretty things just because I could. These DIY ornaments are impossibly easy though, so there really is no excuse. First, … [Read more...]
