French Elegance in South Perth(+ Cape Dutch?)

Whenever I go to South Perth

I have to drive by

one of my most favourite houses

everAnd drink in the elegance it oozes Recently it was on the market and these are some inside pics

Exquisite choices

I would so love this bathroom!

And this by my pool to train a wisteria

And now to some fun blogs!

Have you seen the "Tourist"?

Check out Haute Design for her post

on the beautiful clothes.

Or Life in the Fun Lane

for a very creative music skirt.

How clever is this?

Or A Room For Everyone

with a cute post on these biscuits

So amazing!

But if you are a blue fan you'll love

this post over at "My Shabby Soul"

I"m smitten with these

I want to make them!

Cupcake Magic!

I continue to have a total love of cupcakes

and these pics caught my attention

So many oh so beautiful images to inspire

So I made these

Amazing hazelnut chocolate!

Just heaven to eat

And the recipe comes from this fantastic book

Worth every penny

And you know the recipes will work

Becos Womens Weekly is so reliable

And there images are just perfect!

Their Stylist and Photographer are

clearly very talented

I thought fellow bloggers might like these

For the upcoming Valentines Day

But of course we all love white ones

This book is definitely a keeper!
( I bought it just before Xmas)

My Tiffany Blue Purchases and More

On my birthday when I went shopping

I found this gorgeous bag at "Peter Alexanders"I just had to have it

and when I got home

I realized how close it was to

Tiffany Blue

And so was this beautiful cup and saucer from T2

from their Dreams collection

And this isnt blue but I thought it was so cute!

Peter Alexander does the most amazing packaging.

This was for a nightie set!

So my darling son 1 bought it for me.

So I thought Id surf the net

for more beautiful Tiffany Blue pics to enjoy.

I love this french styled one!

I'd love it all!


I could see myself wearing this!


I might make something like this

Oh how yummy is this bag?

Divine inspiration for my cupcake quests!

I simply adore Tiffany blue cupcakes!

These Tiffany Blue donuts are so pretty

I doubt I could eat them


But oh so many beautiful items to enjoy!

I will definitely make earings something similar

for those of us smitten by Tiffany Blue!

Maybe even the necklace??

I love how well brown goes with Tiffany blue

and stops everything from being too pretty.

But perhaps this one literally takes the cake!

That's it.

I'll have to admit

Im officially a Tiffany Blue addict!
