Before and after
We received these drawers from t & b over 2 years ago and ever since I have been planning to give them a spruce up but have never gotten around to it. Until now...
Yay for getting stuff done! The little table to the left is an heirloom from my Nana. It is handmade and opens up as a musical jewelery box. Very precious.
Hope your Monday is treating you kindly as all well behaved Mondays should!

Some prettiness for Sping
Its Spring!! Thank goodness! Time for open windows, generous flowers, and lazy picnics.
Last night I went to a vintage fair at Burnside and picked up a few goodies.
This dapper little bow tie for my man
These awesome 1940s pastel coat hangers. There's 16 of them! So stoked!
They look so pretty with my vintage lovelies.
And lastly I got these adorable little gift cards
Our lovely friend Kurt and Rachel gifted us with these goodies.
How sweet is the hot water bottle cosy?!
After a particularly difficult job this month I splurged and bought myself this magnificent specimen...
Oh. She makes me so happy!
Other things that make me happy...
Finally I thought I'd leave you with a recipe that I've been loving. I've been cutting down on carbohydrates and sugar lately and adding more healthy fats to my diet. This bread recipe has been my comfort food. Its great with butter and vegemite or avocado. It is also gluten and Dairy free.
Golden Flax Bread
Ingredients
2/3 cup almond flour
3/4 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp. organic virgin coconut oil
4 large free range eggs
3 tsp baking powder
1.5 cups organic flax meal
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Melt coconut oil. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients together well. In a small bowl, gently beat eggs. Whisk in coconut oil. Stir wet ingredients into dry. Pour batter into pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
It looks kinda gross and boring but is really tasty and the texture is just lovely. It doesn't need toasting and stays fresh for about 4 days. Give it a go!

Winter/Spring
This month and last, with more than my usual enthusiasm, I went flower hunting.
Purple, yellow and green has been my winter theme.
As the last of my orchids shriveled up and the petals turned brown I salvaged what I could by pulling off the petals and keeping the lovely columns.
Desperate? Perhaps.
Three words of wisdom for you... Read The Help.
Read it.
I was asked to get together a collection of little drawings for a gift store at an upcoming exhibition.
Here are some of my favorites
They are little and affordable so hopefully I get some sales!
I am well and truly ready to say goodbye to Winter. How about you?
Everyday I find little tell-tails that Spring is on its way!
The daffodils are fading and freesias are taking their place.
Bring it on!
