Exterior inspiration

As hinted at yesterday and confirmed today, spring is most definitely not far off. No jacket weather! No tights necessary, even. Woo!


Almost forgot about the Thread Den market, which now seems like forever ago, as I haven't had a chance to look at the snaps I took until now. It was fun, but as you can see in this snap, the Lithuanian Club is dark. But cute. Great wood panelling and chandeliers. And from the other stuff I saw in my v. quick zip around, cute stuff there. Yay for markets!

Thursday Morning Walk

Preceded by a strong coffee and followed by tea and toast.

Tomato Love

It's well and truly spring here in Melbourne and with daylight saving starting last weekend, there's a different feeling in the air. And so walking through the CERES nursery, the tomato seedlings looked so inviting I just couldn't resist buying a couple. I live in hope that they'll prosper in pots on our balcony, without quite as much sun as they need.



I fall for the same trick each year, and think "Oh well, next year I'll have a backyard to plant tomatoes in. Maybe." You see, my boyfriend and I never planned living in our apartment for as long as we have, but time just slips by and here we are nearly four years later.

So hopefully they make it though the rough transition from small tub to pot, and hey, maybe in a few months we'll have lovely San Marzano tomatoes everywhere.

And speaking of spring things, there's now a second colourway in my new Enka Tea Towels - a spring-inspired red and pink.

Tea & Shoefly

What better way to start the working morning than with a cup of tea and a shoefly bun (the most amazing buns in the world - light but chewy with a heap of currants and tiny, tiny speckles of orange peel - in a good way, as I hate peel usually) from Babka. Picked up on the way back from a morning swim. Yes, it's most definitely spring.
