Some funny animal photos for your day.
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.
Happy days! 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
We’ve been holidaying on the south coast and enjoying the sunshine for the last week. We’re feeling rejuvenated, happy and not quite ready for the reality of everyday work. Here’s some snaps of the things we did, places we saw, and just of the general beauty of summer!
Wilfy enjoyed the huge backyard at the holiday house.
And fish and chips at Currarong beach.
And hanging out the car window, EVERYWHERE we went.
Getting VERY sandy.
And floating around in the water to cool off.
We enjoyed Bbq’s at the beach.
Walking around small beachy towns, like Kiama.
I particularly enjoyed vintage shopping in Berry at Nefarious Rabbit (where I scored the cutest little dress!) and Milton at Nikki B’s (pictured above), where amongst other things I snagged:
some beautiful new crockery.
I also op-shopped Nowra, Ulladulla and pretty much anywhere else we went and ended up with some cute little hankies to add to my collection. And Wilfred found a prize stick in the parking lot.
And back at our holiday house, I stole some vintage floral linens that were too good to be stuck in an old cupboard!
I hope you all got some nice holiday time over christmas spent doing all your favourite things with all your favourite people, like mine was. Kx
I realise now I rudely never wished you all a Merry Christmas last week. Unfortunately as lovely as christmas is, it’s also one of the busiest times in all aspects of life, so alas, my yuletide greetings went by the wayside. So apologies, but I hope you truly had a great one! Here are some little highlights from our festive season so far.
Our custom portrait by Miss Lauren Carney turned up in time to be gifted to my boy for christmas. We are so impressed by this girl’s talent and are in love with our little piece of art created by her (hey, it’s even on the wall already!). It’s a loose documentation of our last two years together (we celebrated our anniversary this month too), including icons from places we’ve visited, the kids and other cute stuff.
Lynds gave me an AMAZING garland by confetti system I’ve been drooling over for a few months now and I must say I do think it looks rather good on our hallway wall.
But lets face it, nothing will beat this gift from Trev. My new bike!! It’s by Melbourne company Papillionaire and I LOVE IT to death.
Custom Storybook tees made for some special little boys I know, I’m told they went down well on Christmas day.
The Peanut butter cheesecake I baked for christmas day. This baby contained two blocks of lindt chocolate (one in the topping, one in the base) and almost half a jar of peanut butter in the middle section. To say the least it was decadent, but amazing.
The fur kiddies also enjoyed Christmas, Wilfy spent a lot of time chewing sticks from the garden, possibly one of his favourite past times.
And Juno barged her way into his bed one morning, much to Wilfy’s surprise and excitement.
We’re taking a little break over new years to spent some time at our family beach house (with both the fur kiddies -eek!). We’re looking forward to not working, laying on the sand and escaping Sydney for a little while (even though we love you!).
A big thank you to everyone who reads our blog and for your continued support of Made By White, The Storybook Rabbit and Candy Stripe Cloud, it would all be pointless without you and we appreciate your input! See you all in 2012 K & L xx
It’s been a very long and boring week, so I’m sorry I have nothing super exciting to mention just yet. It’s been a week of packing endless orders (did we mention our Made By White super SALE is on till friday night only -get in quick!) & countless trips to the post office.
A week of puppies waiting patiently for you to find two minutes to throw their toy.
A week of bunnies hiding in boxes waiting for the warmth to come back.
And sometimes when it’s a week like this AND you have to go grocery shopping, it’s the little things (literally and metaphorically) that give you a thrill. We bought miniature penne (something we eat quite frequently in the regular sized form).
And made our favourite cherry tomato, basil, bocconcini and pine nut pasta. It was a highlight AND delicious. Kx
A nice thing that happened last week is that Juno suddenly decided Wilfy wasn’t so bad to be around. Bribed with lots of basil and attention, she finally ventured out of the bedroom to hang out with us.
Then she walked right up to Wilfred…much to his surprise. And sat with him on the rug.
Then they had a little sniff of each other.
and then she decided that yes, actually, he really is the most gross thing she’s ever smelt….
And Wilfy went back to making his own fun with the paper towel roll.
It was a nice little moment while it lasted, and luckily Juno has decided that being with us is much nicer than laying on top of my box of belts…most of the time. Kx
Wilfred’s new favourite toy. Bought from via this great site and truly hours of fun. Of course he wouldn’t let me take a proper photo, or hold it in his mouth long enough for a real shot, but you get the idea. Kx
Lots of walks to Sydney Park to play with the other puppies and roll in the grass..
The kids in the morning, looking for some love…
Or a carrot for breakfast…
Sleepy afternoons spent next to my desk.
Car trips to fun places…
Like the beach!
Where everything taste better if its covered in sand.
Hope you’ve all had a lovely time lately too. Kx
