Our love for our gorgeous Scooter continues as he is the most delicious thing in our house! He is now six months old and has become my constant companion.  When he sees me in the morning it is just like Christmas!  Not sure why we went so long without a dog in our life – feeling so grateful for the happiness he has brought to our lives!

If you would like to see more of Scooter follow me on Instagram as he pops in quite regularly!

If you have been following me on instagram lately you will see I have had a bit of thing for flowers!  I really do love beautiful blooms and capturing with my camera is one of my favourite things to do.  There’s no doubt that flowers are one of life’s simplest yet most beautiful pleasures, and there is literally no occasion that cannot be made just that little bit more special by a gorgeous bouquet of blooms.

It also just so happens that they’ve just updated their website with a gorgeous new design and colour scheme, which had a slightly old-school flower shop feel to it, with its pastel green and white stripes. 

To celebrate their new site, they sent me a gorgeous bunch of white flowers and they are giving one lucky reader the chance to win a $100 gift voucher to spend on anything at all on their website.

I am pleased to be bringing you today’s blog post in conjunction with Endota Day Spa who have just launched the life’s lessons project –  a celebration of the profound pearls of wisdom passed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter and friend to friend. They are those wise words of wisdom that give us strength, guidance or even just a life hack or two. I know I have my own little collection of life lessons and in an ode to Mother’s Day, Endota Spa are inviting Australians to recognise and share their favourite lessons from the influential women in their lives.

To join in with the Life Lessons Project all you need to do is head to the Endota Spa Facebook Page and share your life’s lesson.  There is a wonderful prize of an Endota Spa gift pack to be won as well as a few select people will be presented with beautiful Endota Spa Gift Vouchers.  Make sure you leave a comment here, on my Facebook page, or on my instagram profile so I can check your entry.  I will share more of my life’s lessons during the week.

Click here first to visit the Life Lessons Project and make your entry.

Hello Friends – I am still here but have very much joined the slow living movement this year.  No crazy schedules and trying to keep up with constantly posting new content but just living in the moment.  I have had some lovely shoots lately that I will share in the coming weeks but I really would love to use this space to also showcase some favourite images that I take.  

Today here are some stunning David Austin roses that took up residence in my house last week.  We celebrated my husbands 50th this month and last weekend had a small dinner party at home with his brothers and their wives – just the 8 of us – the perfect night!  A private chef cooked the most amazing meal for us and left me with with a spotless kitchen that looked better than when they started!  If you are in Sydney and looking for someone to do your catering look no further than Cookbook Catering – their food and service is spectacular!

Today we also celebrate my birthday so appropriate that I share with you my favourite flowers glowing in beautiful candlelight!

I hope you are having a wonderful week.

It has become an Easter tradition on the blog to show the gorgeous party that The Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, London hosts each year.

My lovely reader Caroline always does an amazing job with this party and the 2015 Easter Party is no exception.  Once again so many sweet details and I love the look of that Grown Ups Bar.

Here are all the gorgeous pictures – you can see the lovely party they hosted last year here.
