The One Fine Baby Event
Last Saturday, after chilling out for a bit too long (coffee, pyjamas etc) I made a split second decision to get on the train and head in to the Sydney Technology Park to go to the One Fine Baby event, and I'm so so glad we did! It kept us out of the cold for like 4 hours, Gus got to meet Peppa and Dorothy and Sam (he was the 2nd yellow wiggle for a while), and most importantly got to see (and buy) some AMAZING independent and handmade vendors. It was so refreshing to be in a place where everyone was interested in the same decor and ideas and fashion that I am!
Lots of creative types and families.
It was fantastic! I kept some of the vendors cards. They are inspiring in themselves.
It is no secret that I want to move into the online world and I'm in the process of setting up my own shopfront, so meeting and talking to so many people that are already 'living the dream' was definitely and eye opener. I'm just itching to really get into it.
That's what I came home with. I'm surprised that the above where all that came home with me as I seriously could have bought
one of absolutely everything. It was all THAT good!
These wall decals are from This Little Love. We are totally inspired to re-do Gus's room and these will just be the icing on the cake!
I could not not get this tee from Infancy. I love it, Gus loves it. We're all happy!
The laundry bag is also from Infancy. A pop of neon for Gus's room AND a place for his dirty clothes.
(we are into the I want to change myself faze so lots of clothes)
I LOVE this Maisy book from The Super Cool. Gus has already started to use it while we all have dinner, and he will actually
sit with us
until we have all finished, just doodling away!
Pretty cute, huh?
I finally got my hand on one of these. I have been loving from afar for a long time now. I haven't figured out what to store in it yet.
But it's kind of awesome all by itself!
Below is a few snaps of what we got up to while we were there. I would recommend this event to anyone who is pregnant
or has young kids or bubs. Everyone in the family was entertained and Gus got to go on TWO trains, so little boy's day made!
Hope you are all having a great weekend! We are off to a Scottish Kaylee tonight!
My FIL is the drum major in the Sydney Thistles Pipe Band. They are so much fun.
Lot's of dancing and laughing and being proud of our Scottish heritage, and my FIL cause he kind of rocks on the drums!

BLACK, WHITE AND COPPER
H&M has done it again!
Black, white and copper is where it's at.
These pieces would be the perfect finishing touches for our little home makeover.
And for under $120 they could all be mine.......
If only H&M was online in Oz, or if the line wasn't so long in Melbourne.
Bring on our trip to New York.
Do you think one suitcase will be enough?

A Bright little Bedside Makeover
The humble bedside table is something that I have always taken for granted. It's always there like a reliable friend, holding your books, and empty coffee cups and the latest toddler toy obsession. I only really thought about my table yesterday when I stumbled across a blue lacquered tray from Kmart for the CRAZY price of $8. I couldn't wait to come home and give my forgotten friend a little makeover.
So here are the before and after pics. I'm really happy with the result. Cheap and Cheerful just the way I like it!

(I managed to clean the vegemite marks and dust off first) The trusty table is from IKEA
purchased after what seemed like the longest amount of time you can ever look for a bedside table! The lamp is from Freedom. They were impulse purchase after we decided you couldn't get funky lamps anywhere else for $29!
So I added the tray and..........
Voila! Instant bright happy bedside table!
It's not cluttered, it doesn't have crumbs all over it. I'm in love!
The wooden box is something I inherited (stole) from my mum a long time ago, the tray holds the two pieces of jewellery (other than my wedding rings) that I wear most often, my Michael Kors watch and my Oroton Bracelet.
Bonkers by the hilarious Jennifer Saunders, The Vouge Factor by Kristy Clements and a cute craft book that I probably won't make anything from. You know wonder woman multitasking!
My dream of having a colourful, bright bedroom is slowly coming true! Just ask the pillows.
Now to just tackle the husband's side of the bed!

SO IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW......H&M IS OPENING IN MELBOURNE
Pillow Case, Candle, Cushion Cover, Box, Basket, Towel
So.....unless you have been living under a rock you would know that fashion powerhouse H&M is opening in the old GPO building in Melbourne on the 5th of April.
That is only 13 days away! Less than two weeks! To say I am excited is an understatement
Good quality fashion and home wares for the whole family at unbelievably great prices!!
My husband and I are already planning a trip to our favourite city pretty much so we can go to H&M. I have a wish list as long as the line will be to get in, but above are my six favourites from their current home ware's collection. I obviously have quite a thing with yellow, pink and black. These guys would be the perfect finishing touches to our nearly finished lounge/dining room. And you can get all of the above for 76 bucks! It is like stealing really!
Have you made a H&M wish list yet?
Love Lil xx
