T2 Summer

I love love love T2 and i especially love when Summer comes and i can turn all my favourites into iced tea. T2 have put together this Christmas pack that has the super delicious Citrus punch, a jug and a scoop, making the perfect gift for any tea fan. This pack also comes as chilly apple, personally i like to mix both for the yummiest combo of sweet and refreshing!

Felt frenzie.

A few months ago it was my nieces third birthday, I wanted to give her a present that would last and that she would actually want to play with, then i remembered how much she loves to play with her mini kitchen. 
I set off on a mission to make a collection of felted sweet treats that would look like the real thing. Once I'd finished i had cookies, doughnuts, cake and even tea bags, but nothing to display them in or on. 
So back to the craft shop to get more felt and design my very own cake stand. I'm pretty proud of my tiny treats it was sad to see them go, I had so much fun making them, but I'm happy i got such a good reaction when i gave them to her!!

Grandeliers.

I love homewares and design pieces using natural materials, so when i came across these beautiful 'Grandeliers' from Who Did That I was in awe. They come flat packed and ready to attach to any light fitting. I'm definetly considering getting one.

Beautiful Bunny.

I love pretty little dishes to store my keepsakes and jewellery and as my love bird ring dish is quite small i thought the addition of this beautiful little bunny dish would be a perfect fit for my room. I picked it up while in Melbourne this weekend for a concert, i found it at sportsgirl of all places?!

Love birds.

A little over a month ago I attended a wedding in the beautiful seaside town of Sorrento, we were staying for a few days so i had pelnty of time to walk around the town and check out the shops.
One store in particular tickled my fancy, they had a huge range of white bone china ornaments, dishes and vases. I fell in love with the smallest piece, this little love heart shaped dish with two love birds. So cute! It was a must have for my room and now it houses my most precious rings.

Busy Bee.

Well it has been a crazy few weeks, with graduating and starting a new job but I am super excited for what the future holds and thats why i thought these lovely calander post cards would be a nice little treat for myself to celebrate new beginings and the new year ahead. They feature a collection of beautiful prints by Catherine Campbell, who I mentioned in my very first post. I can't wait untill they arrive in the post!

Lush.

I love Lush products, i use them everyday and lucky for me they recently had free shipping, handy because i forgot to get a few things last time i was in Melbourne.

Not only do these products smell AMAZING they are environment friendly with their packaging, they don't use animal testing, their are no presevatives and all products a vegetarian and sometimes even vegan friendly!

These products have made my whole attitude to getting up in the morning change, now i can't wait to get up so i can jump into my heavenly smelling shower!

My name is Millie and I'm a stationery addict

I love love love these recycled cardboard stationery organisers from french online store adonde which come in in my favourite colour, grey. I spend way to much money on stationery and as tempting as these are, they will have to wait and be put on my wish list.

M is for magazine

I like to have my frankie magazines handy to flick through for inspiration and fun and found this great magazine rack that is perfect for my desk. M is for magazine and Millie!

A bounty of books.

I have been on a bit of a splurge book wise lately and thought i'd share my purchases. 
The Secret Garden, Jamie's 30 Minute Meals, The Pleasures of the Table, Stencil 101, Op Shop Guide Victoria, Letters and Numbers vol.1 and The Selby, there's truly something for everyone in this mix!
My home library is getting bigger week to week, I find it so hard to leave my favourite bookstore without a new treasure. 

Secondhand Snuggle

I saw this great post on the Frankie blog about two weeks ago and got all inspired to get crafting. I hit up the op shops last week and found a lovely "girly" coloured wool blanket for $3, perfect for a hot water bottle cover. 
Mine isn't as neat as the few seen on Frankie but cute none the less.
I loved the tag that was stitched onto the old blanket and couldn't resist incorporating into the cover.
 

Pretty Penny

You may remember a while back i did a post about purchasing a special home for a pet fish. Well it has arrived! The photos aren't great I'm afraid but you get the idea and you can see what a beautiful pet fish i have, her name is Penny and she is settling in very well.
 

Retro Sound

 

I've really just started getting into the whole collecting vinyl thing and recently picked up some stellar records from a local op-shop, one of which is the Double LP Star Wars Soundtrack!

So this morning determined to listen to my new vintage gems I decided to go on the hunt for a good sound system. Boy did I get lucky to come across this amazing piece of Australian craftsmanship, It's in great condition and sounds pretty darn amazing. It's been pumping out the turns from as soon as it was set up. I can now say i am hooked on vinyl and it's going to turn into an expensive addiction i can tell.

My very own Useful Box.

I found this idea for turning an old suitcase into a craft box when i was searching for recycled suitcases. I have such a lot of bits and pieces for crafting and have never had a proper storage space for them. 
My sister gave me this lovely old suitcase she had and i got to work sorting and tidying. It still needs some work, I plan to put an insert in the lid which will have elastic loops to house my needles, hooks, scissors and things.

Crafty Crochet.

I taught myself how to crochet two nights ago and look what i've achieved since then, a whole cushion cover! I love my new found skill, it's very addictive, i kept saying to myself "Just one more row". I'm going to make a second cushion cover and then start finding new things to make any suggestions?
 

Fishy business.

I've decided i want a pet fish. I remembered seeing these gorgeous repurposed globes on a blog a while back which are sold through this etsy store. Looking at them again tonight i couldn't resist, now to play the waiting game and decide what type of fish to get.

My little retreat.

I thought it was about time i shared my little retreat with the world.
It has everything i need; comfy couch, ottomans, a bar and quite a few extras. It's such a nice sunny room for relaxing in. 

Kitchen keepsakes.

I was rummaging around the interwebs today and come across these beautiful recipe cards from Newspaper Taxi. I love to bake and these would be a such a lovely way to keep and collect my favourite recipes.
