Ile de Re ...

Isn't this just one of the most idyllic images you've ever clapped your eyes on?

 You all know I love a tug boat...

I've dreamed of visiting Ile de Re (an island off the west coast of France) since seeing the interior of La Maison Douce featured in a magazine many, many years ago. I've made up my mind that the rest of the island must be just as enchanting and well worth an expedition when next in the region ...

 I'll get there soon enough...

Anyone else spend unnecessary amounts of time planning dream itineraries like me??

(Please don't let me be alone in this!)

Pup ...

Making up for a lack of Friday pup photos by posting two... I couldn't choose so up they both go even though I'm sure the Father and Son pugs have been here before ...

Happy weekend, dear friends xx

Suited ...

A little bit of a departure from interiors today as we examine the all too rare sighting of a man in a beautifully tailored suit. 

Especially good on a man as dapper as Roger Stirling. 

Silver fox.

Loving season 5 Mad Men - you?

Explorers ...

I took this photo yesterday while on an inpromptu day trip to Port Adelaide with the gorgeous Kate - it was such fun, we felt like explorers!

One day I'll have a tug boat of my own... I just know it!

Hello ...

Oops, I disappeared!

And to add insult to serious injury, I was unable to find a gorgeous enough puppy to express my infinite happiness that today is Friday...

I'll leave you with this beautifully balanced composition from Living Etc instead.

Happy weekend, dear friends xx

Adventure ...

Today I'm straight back to work on a few fun decorating jobs but in the back of my mind I'm dreaming of a bit of adventuring ...

Telling myself to be patient is always a complex task!

Bunny ...

Having a little break in Sydney over Easter so posting will start again next week.

I promise to Instagram my little heart out as I trawl for treasures ...

Wishing you a safe and happy Easter break, dear friends xx

Bunny found here x

Lunch ...

Just in case you missed the photos of Kim's Birthday Lunch on Instagram, (my new obsession and reason why I appear to neglect W&W 'headquarters') here they are again...

 How divine is her Caviar wallpaper!

Of course I took any excuse to debut the giant clam shell, and generally theme nautically - my favourite way to decorate!

Also joining us were fellow blogging beauties Kate, Sally, Pip and Alex. 

Quite the bloggers lunch!

For future reference, fellow lovers of the exoskeleton, giant clam shells are in no way water-tight! We learned this the hard way but thankfully took photos pre flooding of the table...

Off to find some sealant!
