Miscellaneous 79

It’s been a little like this round here. My favourite!

It calls for this and this only.

LOOK!

Misty moors! I swear I can hear Cathy out there calling out. We even had the fire on last night!

It’s always like it this time of year – there are a few warm days and then a change comes in along with some mist and the drizzle sets in for a few days. The garden is going gangbusters with all the wet and warmth…impossible to keep up with it all, especially the lawn.

Speaking of keeping up with it, last night after an EPIC tantrum from Harper before bed, and I mean EPIC (my eye is still twitching) I caught up on telly. 2 hours of uninterrupted mindless, old school, no phone interrupted (OK minimum phone interruption) telly. I started with the Great Australian Bake off (GIMME PIE) and ended with this!

Sweet 90’s memories! And that soundtrack! And those 90’s fashions. As an angsty teenager I just wanted to BE Winona. So good to dabble in a bit of retro.

Now, you know what else is retro? Printing photos! I am HOPELESS at it. And I mean hopeless. Besides magnets for the fridge and the annual books that I do each year, I never print photos. I got an email when we got back from OS  from Yuki in Melbourne who has developed a photo printing app with her husband Scott. I downloaded it (you can do it for iPhones here and Androids here) and then printed off some shots from Italy. It was simple to use and they have since arrived!

Great quality and cute little polaroid format. I even got some in decals to stick on bedroom walls for little people.

People are clever aren’t they? Make sure you check out their website here. Thanks for these Yuki – all the best with the app and business. Could be a good Christmas pressie?

Speaking of Christmas pressies…here are TWO that you need to get on board with. Are you listening? Good.

Now if you are either of my sisters or sister in laws, stop reading now cause this is what you are getting for Christmas.

I discovered on Instagram Project Ten Australia and when I had a good look on their website I discovered what appears to be a kind of fancy plastic ikea tote. You know those big blue bags that gets used for everything? Or is that just me that does that? Well here is a FANCY version. But for a lobster. I immediately ordered 4 and I haven’t got them out of the packet yet, but I THINK that’s what they will be like. Perfect for the beach or any kind of family shite that seems to come with kids.

And then these ones. Sent to me kindly by Natalie from Nightie Night Lane after #whitecottonnightiegate for the girls. Because really, HOW GOOD IS A COTTON NIGHTIE? They arrived and I have to say they are gorgeous! Beautiful thin organic cotton with an old school feel both the girls were loving themselves sick in them.

And Natalie kindly has a reader discount for you guys! Just enter the code BABYMAC when you checkout for 15% off. Really a gorgeous Christmas pressie for little ones that is supporting a couple of Mums and their business. Hop to it! Check out there website here.

Speaking of hopping to it, I can assure you I most definitely hopped to this tasty cheese platter from Saturday evening at Mrs Munros.

And take a moment to soak in her garden.It’s looking fabulous this time of year.

As was Sydney last week.

Goodness me time is flying by quickly. Just in case you hadn’t realised as yet it’s NOVEMBER. I am both alert and alarmed. Hope you can get your Christmas shopping started with these ideas at least!

Rainy and wet where you are too?
Got any good businesses or Christmas pressie ideas to share with us all?
Tackle a cheese platter with gusto too? It’s my speciality!
