Look what just popped up! - Wednesday wishes.

Sometimes the loveliest things pop up in my already saved favorites on etsy!

Today I couldn't resist clicking on this sumptious handmade glass cabouchon by dancingfrogjewels.
Designing in my head all the possibilites for it's use!

And even though we actually have spring here now - the elegant simplicity of this scarf caught my eye - or was it the lovely salmon pink?
I could save it for next winter couldn't I?

And the whimsy of this just tickled my fancy!

Who didn't love those "join the dots" books when they were a kid? - or in fact, can't resist doodling when faced with a dotty design?!
I'm sure the artist mummysam understands all those temptations!

What are you temped by today?

Mad about cowls

Scarves are good but cowls are great!

Ever since I bought this patchwork tube scarf from plumfish a couple of years ago I've been a big fan.

Why is this so?
Well they are warm, easy to put on, dont unknot or undo or otherwise get in the way.
They just sit there neatly and warmly on your neck.

Wednesday Wishlist

I interrupt my blogging about Tasmania for a short ad break!

Well not really an ad but a wish!

It's Mother's Day on sunday here and I always seem to need new slippers when May comes around.

These slippers are almost too delightful to be worn! they need to be framed and hanging on the wall!

The weather is changing - as it does at this time of year.
Crisp mornings and cool evenings - perfect time to buy a snuggly, stylish scarf.

I have been looking for a new bag for ages.
Some are too big, others are too small.
The wrong colour or the wrong style.

This one though is just right!

What is on your wishlist for mother's day?
Breakfast in bed?
A day spent with your mother or your children? Or both?
A day of pampering and not having to do the washing up?

Whatever - I hope all your wishes come true!

Happy Mother's Day!

Some very tempting items from my favorites -

This is handknitted and it's only US$86 (A$97). So much work and such a prettty design.

I'm a big fan of these soft neckwarmers.
They are so practical, they are light and dont get in the way like scarves do.

monday's treasuries

Sorry - a bit late this week.
I was tired after physio and pool therapy!

Anyway the advent of treasury east seems to have inspired people, because I was in three lovely treasuries last week.

Mandy of beadsme must have been inspired by mountain mist.
thanks Mandy for including BoosTees Paisley Cat tshirt.




You really should go and see Beadsme's shop as it is full of gorgeous and affordable jewellery.

It was so hard to pick my favorite, but as I love blue, I couldnt go past these pretty everyday earrings.

Leanne of Rainbowrevolution picked my burnt toffee and honey bracelet in her earthy collection.


Rainbowrevolution has wonderful hand made and hand dyed scarves and wraps.

I love this one made from bamboo fabric, it looks so soft and pretty.

Leanne obviously has a theme going, because she also made a watery treasury.

This time she popped BoosTees Blueberry mitts in with all the other lovelies.

I just have to show you Rainbowrevolutions fabulous eco-friendly shopping bags.

Last but not least - Papermemory put together this great collection of Aussie sellers.
