Junos’ inquisitive looks from the side of the lounge always make me laugh. I’ve mentioned my obsession with bunny mouths, but this is a little ridiculous. Oh the cuteness!

Sydney park is a hub of puppy excitement and wilfy just loves the long grass.

And relaxing in the duck pond.

And sun baking afterwards.

Happy days! Kx

Last week I got two beautiful embroidered dresses in the mail I nabbed off etsy. I absolutely love crosshatch, embroidery, or anything bright and crazy coloured, so they fit the bill perfectly. This cute little dress was from Young Captive a vintage shop run by Olivia Mew who is also an amazing artist! You can see her work here, in her other etsy shop Fever Few. I also got a beautiful bunting strand with a persian cat, birds and little mice on it, which I’m sure I will post at a later date.

Embroidered Dress: Young Captive

Cardigan: Gorman (I may have visited the outlet on the weekend….so dangerous)

Belt: Asos

Shoes: The Horse

Floral Hair Tie: Found in the flea markets in Amsterdam….sigh….take me back! My lovely friend Megan McKean is travelling europe on her honeymoon at the moment and I’m enjoying seeing her adventures to places I’ve been and some I haven’t. You can see them too, if you like, here. Kx

Ric rac is one of those amazing pieces of haberdashery that adds character to anything your sew it on. I love pretty much anything to do with ric rac and I think these dresses are a prime example of Ric Rac at it’s best! The navy and yellow floral number I acquired last week off etsy. Just too amazing!  I think it’s my new favourite. The red number with little bumble bee print is also pretty cute and was being sold as an old dress up costume. I guess they didn’t think anyone would wear it everyday. Ha! Little did they know. Kx

Amongst my favourites are these beautiful cake plates!

And this art deco trio, in the most amazing autumn colours.

But by far my favourites are these TO DIE FOR pastel plate sets which I already have plans for. (There was also cup and saucer sets and tiny little pastel tea cups! Ahhhh.)

Cobi was also lovely enough to send me some photos of the plates I bought off her in use on her special day. PRETTY! Kx

I received some adorable dutch flower bike decorations, direct from Amsterdam (with a little organisation from Trev). My fave is the little lawn now growing on the parcel seat on the back.

We bought a food processor, mini cheesecakes were made.

We spent some time waiting….

for coffee and crepes. This place is super cute (and delicious), if in the area check it out.

I spent some time painting…

And making some cute new things for The Storybook Rabbit etsy shop.

And Trev built Wilfy some turf boxes (note dirt moustache). Yes, they are for what you are thinking they’re for, when they’ve grown in a bit.

And miss Juno spent time doing what she does best. Sitting and eating with her belly overhanging her legs. (isn’t she just gorgeous though?)

You might have noticed from these photos I’ve spent some time on instagram lately. What a fun little thing it is. If you want to see countless photos of fur babies and bunny stuff, do find me there under “thestorybookrabbit” so we can be instafriends. Kx

I got this super cute vintage handmade skirt the other day at the red cross shop in Newtown, for $10! I’d had my eye on in a “do i really need another skirt” kind of way, but obviously it was meant to be, on sale no less.

What I wore:

Vintage floral skirt – the red cross shop, king street Newtown (great for cheap but not usually amazing vintage)

Shoes: The Horse

Necklace: Elke Kramer

Head Scarf and Belt : Vintage

I own lots of brooches, but these are some of my favourites. They all remind me of different places or were purchased with a story behind them. The bikes and windmill remind me of Amsterdam (though they weren’t purchased there, i just always loved things that are dutch inspired) and the cuckoos are so cute. The big silver and gold one (with moving birdy!) went to Germany with me and started many conversations with locals there. It is possibly my favourite brooch ever and I nabbed it on etsy a couple of years ago for around $30. Another favourite is the Porcelain Cat head I got in Germany, which is actually from Paris and used to be an earring. Brooches are so fun to collect! Kx

By the (preferably open) window, on top of my china cabinet. Cleverly from this point in the house, she can oversee all goings-on and is out of reach of all puppies. She even carries her carrot in her mouth and hops up to eat it here. This spot has only recently become available, after we moved a lamp which then became a step up and I cleared a space to take photos on my cabinet. I fear it has now been claimed for good, but really, what’s cuter than this? Kx

While we were away recently I picked up this beautiful little Austrian dress from Nefarious Rabbit in Berry. I have a soft spot for anything from the general vicinity of where we visited in europe (and floral, always with the floral!), so this was a cute addition to the collection of bits and pieces I picked up in Germany and Amsterdam.

Dress: Nefarious Rabbit Vintage

Belt: Asos

Shoes: The Horse (on sale right now!)

Scarf: vintage

Necklace: Used to be mums!

Last post I mentioned how I’d picked up some new hankies for my collection and now here it is.

The kitties are probably one of my favourite ones I have, and I especially love kids hankies because they are so cute and fun. But I also love 70′s floral (anything) so I hold quite a few of those ones as well. Sometimes you find really special super soft hankies which have been loved and treasured for years, and despite quite a few people pointing out to me they were probably once full of snot, I like them anyway!
