LODGE PINNED

Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I think I had the best day yesterday since moving here. Spent in town; church, park, lunch, shops, dinner, home. It was a little bit of perfect!

This week I'm really trying to pull together my ideas for this lodge and the look I think that works the best. Trying to not get carried away my too many options but staying true to my original concepts. Here are a few key pieces that keep me on track. I'm thinking light, airy with glass and a few wicker and timber elements. Neutrals with texture I think.

The biggest thing now is to track down some shops that stock this kind of thing. If I was in Australia, I'd know exactly where to go. But here...I'm such a newbie. I need your help! What are some great stores here in Canada for this style of thing? Thanks in advance!

FAREWELL PARTY MOOD BOARD

Are you getting a picnic / carnival vibe? I've always loved this colour theme for a carnival; soft pastels. (And do you notice the colours are kind of similar to my new blog design too? Totally into these colours at the moment!)

I've always been a sucker for a carnival theme. I know if I don't do it for our farewell, I probably won't have the chance to do it again - a 40th carnival party is probably getting a little old!

I'm trying to keep the scale of the party in check coz really we have a lot going on with the move and all, but I'd really like to create this kind of vibe. We'll have it in a nearby park, and enjoy hot dogs, popcorn and ice cream I'm thinking - easy and totally family friendly!
You can see my carnival pin board here. I'll see which ideas I actually get around to making (who else pins way more than is humanly possible to accomplish in one lifetime?!). But I'm looking forward to planning one last party here in Australia.

What are you planning for this weekend? Me, getting these party invites out and designing Ellie's birth announcement!
Enjoy! xo

MOOD BOARD :: PERFECT PAIR BABY SHOWER

It's all babies in our family at the moment. I've got a few months to go still till our baby is due, and one of my sisters is also pregnant...with twins! Fun right? She's due a few weeks before me.
We're putting together a baby shower for her in a couple of weeks which I'm really looking forward to and getting excited about. Here's the mood board I've been putting together on Pinterest.
The invites went out over the weekend too. I'll show you those soon!
