Just thought I would share with you some of my favourite things (at the moment!) I went around the house this morning and took a few quick pics.
First up is my gorgeous cranberry glass lamp that I got on my first trip to Melbourne (had to post it back to myself in Qld, because there was no way it would have fitted in my luggage!) I recovered the shade myself and hope to do some more lampshades soon...when I get time!
This second lamp is one that I found on my most recent trip to Melbourne. You might have read on Natasha's blog that we had an early trip to a market there and found lots of wonderful things. Well, this was one of my finds...I had to post this one back too!!
Another find from the Melbourne market...gorgeous ruffly vintage dress. I love pretty much anything with ruffles!! And I think the vintage rhinestone accessories go with it perfectly too!
My collection of vintage perfume bottles and things....they sit on my dresser and my kids love playing with them (under supervision of course!)
I have heaps of goodies that have been created for me by Natasha (aren't I lucky?!!) And here are some photos of them. Faux cupcakes...very yummy looking! 
Absolutely stunning painting done by Natasha, in a vintage ornate frame (it actually was originally a mirror frame). So pretty!!
This one is my favourite painting by Natasha...I just love the big spread of roses and the way she has done the background colours. Gorgeous!!
Finally, another vintage lamp that I found at a local market not too long ago. I added the crystals around the bottom of the shade for a bit of sparkle (and bling!)
Well, I hope you enjoyed having a look at some of my favourite treasures.
I am starting to get the hang of this blogging thing (except for all of the line spaces that seem to appear out of nowhere!)...more to come soon.
Take care, Kathy :)
