Mmmm Koko Black
About two weeks ago after stumbling home from a doctor visit nursing the worst flu I have ever had there was this on my doorstep. The biggest box of Koko Black chocolates I have ever seen. They were a present from my gorgeous friend Mel by way of thanks for finally finishing her website, which…

Struggling for Inspiration
My darling husband kindly reminded me that it has been 3 WEEKS since my last post. I’m not sure why I’m not very inspired at present. After all the sun is shining and flowers are emerging in our garden. I have been busy though, navigating a new OS and have just embarked on an online…

2nd Modern Economy Sale
It’s on again! The 2nd Annual Modern Economy Home & Lifestyle Sample Sale. Wednesday August 9th from 9:00am the virtual store opens, that’s east coast USA time. Last year I got some lovely table linen from Simrin. This year I think I’ll just have to admire from afar. Here are some of my favourites, clockwise…

A Reason for my Silence
All has been quite on the blog front lately. This is the reason – a brand new iMac. I know there was method to my madness but I can’t remember what that was! Not that I’m complaining – it’s so cool, but it’s a great leap for me who has been so used to the…

A Taste of France
July is the month that has almost all of the Heasman family glued to the Tour de France – or the last 10km of each stage at least. With Bastille Day over for another year I started to think of all things French. These are from one of my favourite online stores – French Bazaar.…

Fun in the Snow
The family has just returned from taking the boys for a play in the snow. We chose Mt Selwyn snowfields – a lot more family orientated with a great toboggan park. The boys had a lovely time and we wished we could have gone skiing but have chalked that up to next time. Having spent…

Rainbow Swirlz
I discovered this etsy store last year, but it looks like Rainbow Swirlz is either no longer on esty or gone out on their own. Regardless it’s nice to see that I can still buy their whimsical printed t-shirts and bags. I love the owl field bag! I’m also a big fan of the robots!…
