A taste of home

I was chuffed to discover this fabulous post about my home town on Design*Sponge.

Sarah Hopkins has made mention of some fantastic Wellington institutions, some of them my old favourites and some of them are new to me and I cannot wait to check out when I visit home again in January 2011.

Thanks Sarah, and yay for mentioning the lovely Small Acorns, Amanda's store is truly gorgeous and a visit to Wellington isn't complete without picking up a little item of loveliness from there!

Floriditas is a second *must visit* spot, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Mmmm.

If you are planning a trip to New Zealand, read Sarahs' post and whatever you do, don't skip a visit to this absolute gem of a city.

Get Knotted

I saw this interesting DIY project on the fabulous Design*Sponge a while ago and decided to give it a go myself. I made two sizes and they have ended up as a little piece of wall art by the front door. I am toying with the idea of dying them, but they are quite nicely understated in their natural state, what do you think?
