Vintage China Love

All of these wonderful pieces of English China, stunning carnival glass etc will be off to the Woolloongabba Antique Centre and the Cottage Garden Nursery....there is always something timelessly romantic about the beauty of these wonderful items don't you think? My favourites are the Royal Winton cake plate in the Lakeland pattern and the stunning Crown Devon jug in such a stunning blue with gold trim.

Friday Favourite ~ Mad comes to the City

This year my country girl niece Madeline moved to the big city.... Brisbane, to study Science. Her Brissie relatives have really enjoyed having her living here and I know I particularly feel as though I have gained a true friend whose company is just so much fun. It seems to me we she went away in nappies only yesterday and has come back all grown up, as she moved away when she was about 2 or 3 and is now 18. Each week depending on what we have on we have been trying to get together, not only for a good chat, but also so Mad can get to know different parts of the city. I have been rediscovering places and also finding some new places that seem to have sprung up when I wasn't looking. One such place is Cliffs Coffee Shop situated on top of the cliffs at Kangaroo Point. We went there this morning and had a great coffee, made by one of Mad's Uni friends, and a huge muffin. It is such a great spot and although it was a bit windy was really lovely once we found a sunny spot....they even have little rugs to pop on your legs to keep the chill off.

Off to the Garden centre...later today...

Shells are always very popular but I love the little childs size cast iron chair would not be that old but is very cute in a vintage sort of way....

And the winner is .....

The winner of Bronnie Masefau's book, Australian Vintage Living, is Megan from White Cat Vintage. Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment and entered...Thought you would like to see this lovely photo, taken by the very talented Nat Duncan who is the creator of a wonderful new site called Precinkt. I had the joy of meeting Nat when she visited the Cottage Garden Centre to take some pics for the East Brisbane Precinkt. Don't you love the way Nat has captured the light falling on this darling swan jardinere ?
