Shopping with Maisy & Grace
Do you ever walk into a store and immediately feel the feel warmth, like you’re truly welcome there? And it’s not because you’re going to purchase something, it’s simply for a good old chat. You wander around the store and pick something up and the owner will tell you the story that goes with it. It’s lovely to visit. Maisy & Grace has achieved that, only I’ve never stepped foot into a physical store, it’s the online shop I’m talking about.
Annie Oxborough Botanical Art
A couple of months ago on a visit to The Department Store, I discovered the incredible botanical creations of floral designer and stylist, Annie Oxborough. Since then, I’ve thought about her work a lot, so it’s about time I share it with you.
Kitchen Favourites
I’m kind of particular with kitchen equipment and over the years I’ve collected a number of things that I really rely on. I always find it interesting to see what people really use in the kitchen, so I thought I’d share with you my “must haves”.
B&O BeoPlay A9 – that thing called L O V E
Bang & Olufsen’s BeoPlay A9 – have you seen it? I have to say that I’m completely smitten, like – wow!
I’ve always been a fan of B & O and we are lucky enough to experience it at home. Years ago, I used to visit their store on Oxford Street Paddington, Sydney and dream of one day having my home completely wired with B & O and it wasn’t just for the acoustics (which I’m no expert on – at all), but also for the design. That’s what they’ve always excelled in, but this latest one is revolutionary – I guess it’s in their blood, they are Scandinavian after all.
New Year, New Projects
Happy New Year everyone! So here we are in 2013 and I find it kind of exciting having a symbol to represent new beginnings and opportunities.
It was nice taking some time off with my family; we didn’t do a huge amount other than having friends from Australia come visit us for a few days, which was great fun.
See you next year
Hi everyone. Today I’ve got an extra big smile on my face and no, it’s not because Christmas is almost here. Today I’ve hit a little milestone in my blogging career and Armoire Pegs & Casserole is six months old!
Bottle Your Bangles
Hi Everyone, Just a quick one today as I’m running around from one event to another at the moment. Most of it is school and kindergarten related though, nothing glamorous!
Holiday House Essentials
It’s that time of year in the southern hemisphere for traditional summer holidays. A lot of us spend it very simply in a beach holiday house or bach as it’s called here in New Zealand. They’re usually fairly simple houses, which is nice although they are usually lacking in a few creature comforts so I thought I’d do a little round up of what we take away with us to make us feel a little civilised or to just add to the experience.
