spinach


how do you get veggies into a little miss (poppet) who refuses to eat anything that is of course even remotely good for her?

you put it in chocolate!

i heard of this method years ago, (not sure where now) and thought remember that for 'one day' well my 'one day' has arrived it's at the end of my tether. and in the hopes of getting something into her that contains vitamins, calcium and iron i have combined chocolate muffins and spinach. they look 'normal' and taste 'normal'. i'll just have to wait to see if she thinks they are 'normal'.

flea market finds


this weeks fave flea market finds are going to go perfectly with the bedroom makeover instigated by the chair i bought a few weeks ago. as i'm going with a green/jade colour scheme i think these new pieces will work very well. all thats missing is a beautiful bunch of flowers to fill that milk jug! 
check out all the other flea market finds of the week over at sophies. i'd love to get my hands on something similar to the beautiful jug she found!

nothing like it

theres nothing quite like arriving home after a full on day at work (still paying for not being open on the public holiday) and being greeted by one very happy and excited little poppet cause mama is home. playing pretend on the surfboard in the lounge room, drawing with pen at the big table, catching bubbles and then sitting down to homemade lasagne. my day got one hell of a lot better. hope you had a lovely friday and you and yours have a fabulous weekend xo

flea market finds


this table cloth is one of my favourite flea market finds of the week i can not wait to cut it all up and use these beautiful flowers for a more pretty and comfy use. the centre flower is my fave and matches my lounge room colours perfectly.

however the piece de resistance flea market find of the week wasnt actually my find but jades.


this beautiful dolls house which is the newest addition to my projects list, was found by the fabulous jade from holigoddess. she knew i was looking for one for miss poppet and her gorgeous nina has one already so she quickly snapped it up for me for a sweet $10. i am over the moon she's such a sweetheart for thinking of us. i now have a beautiful old school dolls house of my poppets very own.

for more special finds pop on over to sophies
