BED CRUSH

2. Flamingo Cushion - West Elm

3. Rising Sun Cushion - Anthropologie

Found via the latest issue of Real Living Magazine, I am completely in love with this Funky French Country Bedroom. 

It mixes a gorgeous toile Quilt (which I recently purchased from Ikea for $24.95!), bright pops of colour from the scattered cushions as well as a quirky neon sign.

I am working towards creating this look for my own Bedroom at the moment and definitely want a Curio & Curio Fluoro Cushion to complete the look!

If you know of anywhere else selling similar, deliciously bright patterned cushions, please let me know

FAVOURITE BLOOM

Planted a few of these beauties today.

Fingers crossed by Spring they will be in full bloom!

'A VINTAGE TEA PARTY'

Photos taken by Me

Over the weekend I hosted 'A Vintage Tea Party' as part of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, to help raise funds for Cancer Research and Support.

My Invitation read a little like this:

EXPECT: TEAPOTS, RABBITS, FLOWERS, BUNTING, CAKESTANDS AND, NOT TO FORGET, PLENTIFUL AMOUNTS OF MAGICAL TEA-PARTY FOOD FIT FOR THE QUEEN.

There was indeed plentiful amounts of delicious food baked by my family & friends, including freshly made scones (thanks Steph!) and a selection of delightful T2 Tea's including French Earl Grey, Ginger Spice and Peppermint.

I had so much fun creating this event, from making the bunting flags and props to setting up & styling it all on the day.

If you would be interested in having me style your next event please contact me via my email address

thehuntforhappiness@gmail.com

It would be my pleasure!
