diy accessory ideas

yet another use for an old wooden palette

branching out...

ladder shelves? trunkside table? brilliant.

Don't throw away you're aluminium cans

 hunt down some old drawers from the council clean-up and create your own herb garden

 

 And finally...A use for all those empty wine bottles you've got lying around

 

I did a post a while ago called 'Why didn't I think of that?' which was rather popular. So back by popular demand (I've always wanted to say that)  is 'Why didn't I think of that Part II'. Or... aka 'Useful-and-quirky-ideas-for-your-home-and-garden-decor', which was the alternative title for this post.

Every time I come across a DIY project idea I squeal with delight and save it into my DIY folder. The folder is overflowing so this post is enormously overdue. Perhaps I should do a regular DIY decor post? What do you think? I'd love some feedback!

I think I'll start with the wine bottles seeing as though I really do have way too many of them lying around. But that's another post.

In a parallel universe I am a successful party planner and event stylist. Having a career where your job is to create the setting for a special moment in people's lives would be so wonderful. Although always planning the party's and never actually attending them would probably blow sometimes...And the pack-down wouldn't be too glamorous either. Still, I could imagine job satisfaction rates fairly high for this particular profession and that's what we all want, right? Perhaps I'll just live out my "dream job" fantasy by planning glitzy events for friends and family. I thought these photos could help inspire you for your next planned party. I'll expect an invite in the mail soon!

Today I was trying to find something (anything) to wear and I suddenly realised that I don't own any tees. Admittedly they're not high on my fashion priority list but still, not one tee?? Thanks to Modekungen, a Swedish clothing label that sell all kinds of goodies for both the gents and the ladies, my embarrassing tee situation is about to change. They also ship worldwide...ohhhhh yeaaah. I'm not really into quotes and phrases on tees but I thought the cowboy one was funny. The only problem is I can't decide which one I want the most. Better buy two then.

Etsy featured 4Four's online shop today and I'm smitten with these little cards! I had to restrain myself from featuring all of them. These were some of my favourites's though. I particularly like the second card. If you're tired of notes left on the fridge or having to send text messages then this is the perfect way to get your point across.

 Mostly boring purchases this time around. However I'm pretty impressed with the glass caraffe that is now my wine decanter. Hopefully next time around my purchases will be more like the second collage. One can dream right?

Just some rings on my shortlist. Yes the short list. The long list is highly embarrassing. I love wearing rings on every finger...to the point where I often feel that I need more fingers. I'm probably going to be that old lady that wears every piece of jewelery she owns.

On a side note, I'm heading to Melbourne for an op shopping, latte drinking, restaurant eating, tram riding bonanza. I've been to Melbourne a few times now but hoping people can recommend places worth visiting??
