Weekend Finds



I have been searching for the ultimate shabby storage caddy for ages and there it was at the markets on Sunday all for $10. I love how its all old and grubby I wouldn't dream of changing it at all.





When I spied this chandelier light fitting I thought it was plastic at first but it does  appear to be glass. Oh how I love the glitzy look of it and I have just the perfect spot to hang it. Well those are just two of my favourite finds from the weekend hope to show you more later.

Love that storage caddy - that's a rare find for sure! I am soooo jealous!

Just looking back at your posts and I must have missed the one on your wreath. It's huge and it's gorgeous. Special time with your daughter too!

Sandy- Another successful find! Love the old caddy AND the chandy. That style was popular here in Colonial Revival homes in the early 1900's- I had one in my old house- love it! Diana

Bit envious of the caddy but more concerned that I must have missed a post about the garland, did you tell us how to make it or where to go for directions? HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED SOMETHING THIS GOOD!!!!!!! xx

I have just stumbled onto your blog, it is beautiful!

Great find with the storage caddy, it really captures that rustic coastal look that I love. I have been in the process of redecorating my living room recently and have been looking online for great blogs and sites for inspiration. Just found a great Australian online store that captures the style of your blog beautifully, thought you might like it - The Hamptons House, http://www.thehamptonshouse.com.au/.

Looking forward to your next post!
