rustic flowers

the kids two sets of godparents are coming to lunch today.

i have been up early this morning making pavlova and preparing the slow roasted greek lamb (as it has to cook for 5 hours!).

i will post you all the recipe tomorrow.  

i can assure you though that the smells wafting from the kitchen are amazing!

a simple table setting today.

topped with these amazing protea that mr. plain brought home last night.  (the benefits of being married to a garden stylist!)

i think they look super just plonked into this vintage milk jug.

a rustic, country table for a relaxed, happy lunch.

no time today!

no time for a post today.  mister business partner (known from here on as 'the designer') and i are off to an auction to snap up some vintage industrial furniture for an event.

fun, fun!  i love going to the auctions!

have a lovely friday, friends.

my deco cane lounge may be getting a glam makeover.

so, is anyone sick of me waxing lyrical over the merits of black yet?

oh well.

sorry about that.

i picked up the new issue of inside out magazine today.

loving the black wall on the cover!  but i digress.

i got to page 24.  then i stopped.  as did my heart.

i think you'll all remember the search for the art deco cane lounge suite?  a successful search, as i am now the owner of an art deco cane lounge suite.  recently, however, i have been looking at it, and not *really* loving it that much.  

it's beige.

i don't do beige.

page 24 confirmed the solution.

and, of course, the solution is black.

this gorgeous, glossy black furniture is gracing the patio of brisbane jewellery designer chelsea de luca's divine home.

perfect, no?

makes me want to start painting my cane today!

also makes me want to move straight into her glorious home..

divine, divine, divine.
