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? 

and so that was christmas

So after all my excitement looking forward to Christmas, it was over in a flash. 

I did take a heap of snaps this year so here are a few for you to check out when you take a break from finding new ways to use up the leftovers !

i made tiny origami trees (with doilies of course)

we don't have room for a real tree so I made a wall tree instead

 tree at my mums house dog-proofed - we don't normally cage trees I promise

best christmas joke ever - what lies at the bottom of the sea and shivers? 

a nervous wreck. awesome!

boredom at the day job sometimes results in things like this.
