2.3.12

a truck of vintage, loved goodies arrives at our beach house...

moooorning...over here...yep the gal behind the boxes...whooo hoooo!


they arrived...it didn't rain for the whole day...

& we are now living like travelling gypsies from boxes Parisian artists in a studio of collected

inspiration...

the kiddos didn't buy the last one either...they just wanted to know where their *stuff* was!


see...it kinda looks french lofty...if you close one eye & are eating baguette...!


so...the great unpack begins....




this was the spread sheet we did all the *box ticking* from...


those are not individual items there- but individual boxes...gals we are seriously living in a house of

cardboard....but there are many treasures within...

so many of you have taken this journey with me from our gorgeous house in the English countryside to

this, our little beach house on the beautiful coast of Oz...

& can i just say *i'm so happy we got here together*...

the Great Last unpack begins...with you by my side...


i can promise mucho eye-candy!




if you're lurking near the beaches on this rainy old

summer's day with a spare coffee in your hand...

feel free to drop it into a removalist/decorating/balancing

mamma who is head down butt up unpacking her treasures!

~~~~

I'll be posting this all next week gals- so pop in anytime for 

a quick *g'day* & a reminder that there is a clean house after

a 12,000 mile move with three kiddos somewhere down the line!



P.S- a little side note-


whilst i generally like my deliveries to be stamped *amazon*, *the book depository* or 


*anthropologie*...& usually in brown paper & string...


i have to say that this big orange beast of a truck was the *prettiest, most perfect* delivery 


i've had in a long time....!

  20. Hi Melissa...ah this makes me think of that scene in 'Out of Africa' where Meryl Streep needs her 'things' around her to feel at home in Africa. That always resonated with me as without my things I am nowhere. I am so pleased that you get to really settle now. Even with the boxes, the house looks lovely and all that light! Makes me want to whitewash my entire house. All those treasures you unpack now - take your time, hopefully each one will be steeped in all things English. Much love, Lou x

  21. How lovely to be re-united with all your treasures from England. It will be so exciting, I can remember when my home came out of store it was great to be re-united with all your things that make your house a home.
    love from a cold but sunny England
