add a little sugar

Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday which is one of the best days at my place. No, not for the proper  traditional reasons but for our own traditions. It means Pancakes are an acceptable dinner food. 

For as long as I can remember in my house, this has been a great sugar filled day; and while I was not feeling the best yesterday (I hurt my back at work!) pancakes for dinner certainly made it a whole lot better. Here are a few shots of the yummy pancakes we got into last night.

I love decorating

I love redecorating my house. It is seriously one of my biggest distractions. 

I have been spending a pretty large chunk of my time lately cleaning and sorting. Not for any particular reason other than that I can't get settled until I have sorted out this part of my life. Sparing you the boring details, after a couple of trips to the Salvos and a whole lot of recycling, moving and sorting I can finally get to the fun part - decorating. I love to decorate and move things around in the house - much to the amusement of my sister whom I live with.  

So here are a few shots of the start of my decorating fun, including a few new finds I made on the weekend. 

I have ALOT of arty things I pick up from the markets and various places and I'm finally finding ways to display them about the house.

I picked up these awesome vintage Japanese shakers at Quirk & Co, an awesome new shop in North Melbourne

And I love doilies. I know this makes me a nana at 27 but seriously how cute is this one?
