Beach goodies and white walls


There is nothing better than a good beachside op shop spree. Especially when there are vintage sheets involved, and peachy pink ones at that. As soon as they were washed, guess who snaffled them up for her bed?


In an effort to curb miss Liongirl's sampling of my lipsticks I bought her a pink chapstick that smells like watermelon. Unfortunately, it has been liberally applied to any set of lips in sight, if you look closely at the doll above you will see what I mean. In fact I was awoken this very morning pre dawn to the sensation of having my lippy applied before I had even opened my eyes. And by applied I mean something akin to the Joker from Batman.

Aside from sheets, there were a few other treasures. I love old tins and Australiana, could not believe my luck when I stumbled across this one for $1.50.





I'll share a few more things next post but I have been absolutely busting to show you my newest white wall. This is now the glorious view from my bathroom. Look back here for the custard version.



And the new home for the Golden Book collection, complete with a little seat to perch upon for a quick read. This little spot gets the best morning sunlight too.


And it's also perfect for testing out a new ensemble and some funky moves. This outfit was selected for going visiting, on a balmy summers day.


Like I've said before, I really hope she does not get her fashion sense from me.

  8. I am yearning for some white here at the moment. Fresh starts and new beginnings etc! The whole house needs a freshen up but the Big Fella is a little busy now. Dare I suggest some summer holiday painting?
    The 3 year old crazy fashion thing is always so thermostatically challenged. Tights in summer, tutus in winter! We really must get these two together some time!

  10. Hey Mel! That's one groovy girl you've got there. Gorgeous. I also like her pink swimming cap a few posts down. Congrats on the white wall. Looks great and the perfect little reading spot. I had that same Raggedy Anne as wee one.

  13. She is one funky monkey, that girl. Everything i read today is making me want to go op shopping but I'm in strict, pre-house selling lockdown mode. Must. resist. temptation. At least I can admire your acquisitions though.

  14. A perfect backdrop for your milk glass and LGBs.
    Pink vintage florals are my favourite kind of thrifted treasures.

  17. What a stunning home you have. Love the architecture, floors, ceilings, doorways...and that bedding is gorgeous! I enjoy architectural history too, it makes your home more special when you know its history.
