Every day is an Elk day!

There's no denying it- I'm a massive Elk Accessories fan! I simply love it and can't get enough of it!
I will work out what Elk item I want to wear for the day and then base my outfit around that. I love the simplicity, prettiness, class and style of their jewellery! Not to mention their bags, purses, clothes and shoes of which I have too! Ahhh..., life is bliss!
So I am going to attempt to capture what I wear everyday to show you my collection.
Here we go - the first one - a sweet little air balloon brooch. Cute as!

Before + After kids table

It's not very often I do before and agrees but when my little guy fluttered his eyes at me and said this roadside kids table would be perfect for his Lego I could resist! It still need a bit more cleaning up, perhaps a luck of paint on the legs but in the meantime it looks great and does the trick! The colourful space invaders contact worked a treat.

Happiness in a fingerprint

I still remember when I got this book through my school book club and how much joy it brought me! It still makes me smile and I love now doing the finger print pictures with my children. Over the years they have created little pictures for me and I simply adore them with their little fingerprints! Thank you Ed Emberley!

Balloon chandelier for the man if the house

Frantically on Wednesday night I returned from my parents to set up some decorations for benji (who was by the way in the house) and living in such a tiny place it's not way keeping things a surprise! But Ben being Ben was happy to oblige with not peeking as I led him blindfolded out if the lounge to the bathroom and then toilet then bed! Quite funny really, especially since he's six foot and had to suck! So in the end one feature was the balloon chandelier in the dining room. Nothing grand but personally I liked the concept!!



A few of my favourite things...

I got so excited when I saw these slippers for sale while in Melbourne recently! They are simply me! The fact that nearly all my shoes are this style (minus the flowers) says it all! I'll have to do a shoe post one day to prove it.
Back to the slippers- they are comfortable and warm and oh so pretty... I love wearing them.

Sweetness from the 70's

I couldn't resist these super lovely, colourful and find glasses found at the Salvos Glenelg. I actually think they had been there for a while as I had admired them sometime ago but decided I would get them as they made me smile! And who doesn't want to be happy when they drink!!
Turns out my kids & hubby love them too
