• Giving the garden a much needed drink late today. It’s been so hot. If you have zeroed onto the.. what can I say ‘grumpy face’ perhaps? 😆 I was late with her dinner. She’s a strict 5pm eater. Bad me. 😂 She needs to lighten up. Seriously :) . Mind you, she does try to lick my fingers (not my hand) trying to heal me. She instinctively knows that I have a titanium plate in there, so doesn’t go there. Love her for that. ❤️ . I’ve had more hand surgery post the meningococcal nightmare last November. I’m hoping this time it will be the last one and I can have a fully functioning hand again and be me again. I’ve not mentioned this before. Publicly. My surgeon has been so terrific and I’m very hopeful all will be ok. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 . Ps: I’m not into insta at the moment, so if I’m not active, liking pics etc. please don’t take that as a negative. Just where I’m at and what I’m capable of. Felt I should explain.

  • There's no better place than home. Dusk tonight. Quiet moment when I’m closing the house up for the night and all I can hear is the garden sprinklers quietly chugging away, the kookaburras singing in the trees and the barking dogs enjoying their evening walk. My idea of #unedited bliss. Thought it was worth a photo. It’s the little things isn’t it that make us happy?

  • Late today. Three attempts at going outside for a walk. Buffy made the call. Way #TooHot. I was thankful. ❤️ . . #brisbane #australian #summer #heatwave Not as bad as our southern friends though. #Scorcher #ourhome #home #blueandwhite #love #chinoiserie #blueandwhitehome #MyStyle I’m #blueandwhiteforever. #InCaseYouDidntKnow Plus #antique #vintage Only way to decorate.

  • Buffy has the right idea. Showing all those little doggies out there (and perhaps their humans) how to keep cool on a hot summer day! 🌸🌸🌸 Ps: I did laugh when I stumbled across this scene this morning. Had to take a photo. So Buffy. She didn’t know I was there due to the roar of the ceiling fan until I said ‘Buffy what on earth are you doing?’ 😂 . #OnTheBed #UnderTheFan #CoolingOff #MessyHair #DontCare #Australian #Summer #Brisbane #Buffy #Maltese #DoesWhateverSheWants #ThinksThisIsHerBedroom #ProbablyIs #SpendsSoMuchTimeLayingOffHere #Love #AwkwardPoise #WontTryItMyself

  • Refilled this nickel plated champagne bowl with fresh Orchids today. Love their subtle softness and fresh summery feel. Next to a lofty display of fresh leaves they are my favourite decorating option for our entry table, plus easier to do. It’s the first thing you see when you enter our front door so I always like it to look pretty and welcoming despite whatever mess there may be behind it! 💚 . Unfortunately, I lost the light before finishing so instead I’m sharing this one from 12 months ago! #SameLook #AnotherDay . #home #brisbane #sunday #summer #evening #entrytable #decorating #phalaenopsis #orchid #chinoiserie #blueandwhite #antique #vintage #love

  • Late today. 💙 Putting the final pieces of Christmas away for another year with my lazy little assistant. . Undoubtedly, given the date, we’re most likely the last insta account to wish you a wonderful, safe and (importantly) very healthy 2019! . I’ve been down that deep holiday rabbit hole of reading books back to back (I’m very much a book worm) and watching some great Netflix shows! #ithappens . If you swipe across you will see our most liked photo in the #2018bestnine - Buffy of course mixed in with our trademark blue and white decor! 🤭💙😂 She somehow managed to get herself into 7/9 of them. No surprises there! She’s very crafty. Last photo NYE before the light faded and we went upstairs to read yet more books. Yes, we are very boring! . Plans for this year: When I’m fully recovered we plan on doing a pop-up shop and continue trading through @botticellihousefinds. That is after we do a road trip to Perth in our vintage Austin Healey and then through to the top end of Australia and back through the centre. Crazy I know! But you only live once. 😜 Di x

  • Mum’s hydrangea blooms. Best garden display ever! I only picked a few to bring home yesterday for the entry. Dad was watching. He said ok, Di take more... (I did). Then he said ok Di that’s enough when my arms were full (I stopped chopping ha 🙊 I was getting quite greedy and a bit snip happy that’s for sure :). He obviously loves them too. Not that he would say.. 💗 . Mum’s advice to ensure longevity: Pick fresh, smash the ends with a hammer 2 inches up, dip for 5 mins in hot water then arrange in cold water. I popped ice cubes in given it’s been such a hot day. Always works. They make me smile every time I walk past x . #perfectblooms #hydrangeaseason #hydrangea #home #ourhome #brisbane #unedited #twilight #entryway #blueandwhiteforever #precious #delft
