permanent vacation

i discovered permanent vacation - a Swedish label a while ago.

instantly fell in love with their s/s 09 collection.

oh, i have just bought the floral tights after seeing it on Anabela of fieldguided. i also bought the amanda dress of the same print. the print makes me really happy.

my favourite things #7

our dear friend just gave these lovely glasses to us.

her mum bought them in the late 70s.

they recently rediscovered them when they were getting ready to move.

outfit of the day

i love my new liberty print dress so much.
thank you so much, Nadia.

good things come in pairs

we discovered this cream colored vintage typewriter left in the trash bin yesterday.
it would be perfect for our house.



we also have this mustard colored typewriter. this cost us only S$4, but we had to lug it back all the way from bangkok.

the furniture project | part three

these are some furniture we painted today.

a dresser, a chair and a coat/clothes stand (you can hardly see it in this picture).

i took some pictures of my grandparents' house while waiting for the paint to dry.

tiniest flowers & butterfly

cars in the garage

neighbor's flowers

i love these windows so much.

latest obsession #2

floral print dresses.

this is my latest purchase from etsy.

i love the pleasant floral print and soft pink hue.

the furniture project | part two

S and i didn't do much painting today.

we waited for the arrival of a wardrobe we bought last week.

it's pretty old. we were told the previous owner had this since the late 50s.

i really like the key.

we are going to repaint this wardrobe over the weekend. :)

the furniture project | part one

we bought some furniture from salvation army.

the old dresser was from S's auntie.

the process though tiring but it was fun.

some of the furniture we have painted.

the stool is from ikea.

we bought the coffee table for $24!

while waiting for the paint to dry, we baked organic muffins. not a single bit of butter used. 

S didn't like it. he said the muffins were missing all the happy ingredients. haa..

more pictures of our project tomorrow!

monday no longer blue

how's your monday so far?
something nice came in the mail this morning. see, how cute is the bunny.
S and i are working on some furniture project together for the past week. i have pictures to share but maybe later tonight.
