So very envious of this scissor collection. This whole space actually is really pretty loverly.

Birds of Australia.

I love pictures and drawings of birds however Im real scared of them in real life.

I have an internal struggle with my patriotism for two countries, one heavily bias because of  love from a certain boy, but i would happily leap to eithers defence. But the nostalgia for australian wildlife wins this time.

It was especially fun teaching the mister all the names for the plants and birds we saw on our recent visit. Want to know what a Poinciana or Jacaranda looks like ask him.

Happy Birthday to the best ever boy. You let me wear your slippers, your lovely always, your very nice to look at and my tea always definitely tastes better when you make it. I hope you have had a good year i certainly did.

little things.

A few treasures we found whilst down under.

Surry Hills.

After a quick stint on the tourist trail we opted to spend most our time in Sydney hanging in and around Surry Hills. Armed with a list of little shops/cafes to visit we had and excellent time getting lost in the pouring rain more than once. 

I was real excited to visit the Bourke Street Bakery most of all, as i had been drooling over the pages of their cookbook for some time now. I don't know how we managed to score one of the 3 seats inside on the rainy afternoon but we made the most of it and ate as much as we could.

Vintage Camera Nightlights.

How great are these Vintage Camera Nightlights by Jason Hull?! We want one!

You can see more here.

wooden churches.

Last week we did a bit of driving through New South Wales. We kept stumbling upon really nice, old churches dotted around the countryside and loved how different they are to the ones we find back home.

Here are some we found on our travels.

not any old vintage.

We have been in Australia for over two weeks now and have been wondering all around. One place we keep returning too is this little cafe suitably named Vintage. Its surroundings suit me just fine, the people are as friendly as friendly gets, and the treats are delicious.

I think my mum would like you to know that she is a regular here also. 

Lists Of Note.

We love making lists! Over at listsofnote.com you can read famous peoples lists, like this one by Johnny Cash – excellent.
