A little Holiday....

This week we both return to work after a little Easter Holiday. Megan jetted off to visit her family and hang out with her amazing little niece and nephew for a few days while Kim spent her time hanging out at home, op shopping and having long lunches with her family.


While out of town Megan took the opportunity to introduce her niece to the world of thrifting. This experience was delightful....purchases made included some beautiful 'mint' coloured wool for Kim (love it!), some homemade patterns, and a too cute ballerina keyring for the little one (which she thought was 'just beautiful!').


Kim went on a small road trip with hubby to a local swimming spot just out of town. This was such a nice day out of reality and we both loved the escape. This time of year is just gorgeous in our part of the world. While at home Kim completed a few DIY projects. Favourite holiday project was re-vamping an old table by simply adding a coat of yellow paint. It looks great as an outdoor dining room on our deck. A new place to sit and blog with Megan :)


While on our little break we have had some thoughts about our blog and what direction we are heading in. As new bloggers, this week we have given ourselves homework to focus on. We are excited to see where this journey takes us!

Saturday adventure.......

Saturday was a day we had been looking forward to for such a long time. The reason you ask? The local Vinnies held their annual Vintage market day. It was sooooo good to let loose with our saved coins and purchase some amazing things! So good in fact we went back for seconds....It was a really nice day out with friends, we made a day of it and went to a local cafe (which we have decided is a new favourite!) for brunch in between shopping. These are some of our newly purchased old things :) enjoy;




Some brick-a-brack Megan popped on.

A new favourite!

Almost passed this one by, fits perfect in a little nook and makes a great display.


A slight obsession with glowmesh
