As a keen gardener and a great lover of food I adore bees. They happily buzz around my garden, pollinating whilst collecting nectar. You wouldn’t know they are under threat.
For several years now bee colonies are dying for no obvious reason. This is called colony collapse disorder (CCD). So you might think, there just bees! [...]
I’ve not been blogging for a while because I’ve been busy being a mammie to two little ones! Bella & Solo joined our family on the 14th of September and are growing like crazy! They are the cutest of cute and sometimes a bit naughty. They are settling in very well which means that I [...]
Having slight ‘Magazine-holic’ issues I always feel I need to find good storage for them. So with the new office almost finished I was on the look out. Bless Martha and her fantastic idea’s. In July’s Living I spotted the tutorial for Wallpapered Magazine Holders.
My new fab Mag Holders
So of to B&Q I went [...]
A few years ago I bought a new sort of white canvas bag from my local bag shop. It was a Longchamps, a real one and at an affordable price. Grant you it wasn’t all leather but it was cute and above all practical. Ofcourse we now are all familiar with the Les Pliages bags [...]

Why, oh why doesn’t Macy’s ship to Europe? I don’t get that at all. It’s 2007 for God sake. We can take space holidays and dive to the bottom of the ocean, but sending a product (or ten) to Europe is impossible!!! Don’t they realise that with the position of the dollar at the moment [...]
As a beginning Buddhist I try to give up clinging, attachment and things like that, but I find this concept rather difficult when I visit my one of my favorite blogs: The Hostess Blog.
I mentioned this blog before and will do so often I can imagine. You see I might be young, highly educated and [...]
Finally they are up. The blinds I’ve made from the Laura Ashley fabric I found ages ago. It took quite a bit of work, mostly because I never made blinds before. Second because of bad luck. This happens sometimes in crafts. So I set the project aside midway through as I was becoming so irritated [...]
And I’m back!! With the first few picks of my new home. Hahaha and here it is:

The kitchen with the breakfast bar
Notice that the bar stools are way to high, but my bf didn’t like the lower ones.. the ones that would be just right. The ones that are just high enough so you don’t [...]
