Are you a person that knows how to switch off? I wish I was, but I'm not - and the first three photos indicate my version of a Saturday at home with nothing to do. After a big clean, I moved some pictures and an 'op shop score' mirror around (I love passing the Rachel Castle Heart in our hallway now). I also got some gardening done - with the help of a cute flamingo from Papier D'amour. Sunday saw me out of the house for lunch with family at The White House. My four year old nephew is developing quite the foodie palate it seems - we took our eyes off him for two minutes and most of the d'affinois cheese had disappeared. Good thing I guess, as the adults had room for the almond and orange cake my big sister had prepared (let me know if you would like the recipe). I hope you all had a great weekend.

that looks like a productive w/e :) my favorite!
ReplyDeletecake and an opshop mirror? lovely!
ReplyDeletegorgeous pics Briar - I'm loving my time in the Philippines for work, but these pics remind me how much I miss Australia. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you - I wish I could switch off more as well! Have a lovely week. xx
ReplyDeleteCake recipe? Yes,please! It looks lovely. Finn's affinity for cheese is quite impressive,too.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult for me to completely switch off too. Sometimes I have to force myself to just relax! I love your framed heart, and the mirror. Pretty fab!
ReplyDeleteI love that pic and the mirror!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the recipe for that cake too...

That mirror is stunning- jealous! I'm not allowed to buy any more vintage mirrors until I find enough places to hang my current collection :p
ReplyDeleteOh the white house, my favorite !!!
ReplyDeleteLoving that mirror too.
Adore the White House. I pass it on my way to work and always think of you! It really does look amazing and the block is so long... Good on your nephew. Great genes in the taste department obviously. Pruxxx
ReplyDeleteoh that mirror - divine!
ReplyDeleteooh, LOVE that mirror.
ReplyDeleteA four year old ate the d'affinois? haha!
Hi Briar! This is a bit of a late enquiry (!!) but can you tell me where you found the ceramic ornament you've got hanging next to your Rachel Castle heart print? Me wantee! xx
ReplyDeleteI got the heart/cross from HoneyBee Homewares in Fairlight - think it was about $20...shop right near you! (You are in Manly too, I think?) B x
