1950s Australian Vogue magazine: interiors. The Australian edition of Vogue magazine started in 1956 as a quarterly supplement to British Vogue. And it contains some gems! There used to be quite a bit of interior decorating and sewing advertising and articles until Vogue Living came out in the early 80s. Here are some pictures from the first two years, of [.].

Archive for Op shop finds. Recent op shop finds. I’ve bought heaps of glassware, which I’ll photograph later, but these are some of my favourites from the past few weeks: Found at Salvos in Fyshwick, a Danish-style mid-century modern chest of drawers. It’s got solid teak trim and handles, and an unusual plywood veneer. One of the drawers is stamped inside with “Gainsborough” and [.]. Continue reading ». Recent op shop finds. Continue reading ».

EasternMax: July 2011

Scary HR boss, bad mother to two teens, for no good reason knows every word to Evita The Musical. Tuesday, 12 July 2011. Old Stairs, New Stairs. The old stairs are finally gone. Apparently it was a close thing - the builders claim they just about crumbled in their hands. Now we have beautiful new stairs with a gate that opens easily, stunning lighting and a post box that fits loads of stuff. Saturday, 2 July 2011. First World Problem - I drowned my iPhone. Rap that has gone a little viral. One day during...

Chapter III: Reasons to be cheerful, part 3
http://chapteriii.blogspot.com/2012/12/reasons-to-be-cheerful-part-3.html
Saturday, 1 December 2012. Reasons to be cheerful, part 3. We have assembled all the ingredients, even the St Agnes, and there will be Christmas cake mixin'n'bakin' in the morrow. Mixing" with the Adorables. Three weeks from today, Lily gets home. I have not one but two (2) brand-new pairs of thongs. I wore my new best, going-out ones ($7) to the shops this morning (which helped the nonna thing I had going no end), and now I'm home and I'm in my new everyday thongs ($3.50). Life is special. I also enjoy .

Monday, 3 December 2012. The annual craft fair at Fremantle Arts Centre (above) was on yesterday. It looked wonderful, and there were lots of colourful stalls, but OMG, some of the prices! And so much jewellery. I went prepared to buy lovely things for Christmas presents, but just enjoyed a browse in the shade of the lovely old trees with my best friends Dace and Jools. I am going to teach myself to make coiled baskets like these:. Links to this post. Saturday, 1 December 2012. We have assembled all the ...

Chapter III: Indian Ocean Gods
http://chapteriii.blogspot.com/2013/02/indian-ocean-gods.html
Saturday, 9 February 2013. My very clever son Will made this short film a few weeks ago, with his new teeny-tiny video camera. He's in it with Lily (back from Japan for Christmas), two of their best friends, James (with one arm straped to his waist following shoulder surgery) and Pelham, and our grandson Mack (towards the end, at about 4:20). It's a lovely summery video, shot at the very best of our very beautiful beaches, for all you northern hemispherians up there in the snow and the cold! I also enjoy .

Melinda: March 2012

Sunday, March 18, 2012. My Son Ate a Pancake. You are probably asking yourself why on earth the fact that my son ate a pancake merits an entire blog post. Kids are by nature picky eaters, of course. Did you know there is a biological reason behind that fact? Of JT eating apple slices dipped in caramel sauce. The current extent of his food choices includes: cheese, crackers, whole grain bread, yogurt, V-8 fusion, ketchup, mustard, pizza, fish sticks, chicken, cookies, and plain chocolate. That is ...I hav...

Melinda: Happily Ever After?
http://melindacannady.blogspot.com/2013/08/happily-ever-after.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. Rob's parents and mine celebrate fifty years of marriage this summer. 18,262.5 days (yes, I did include leap days in that calculation.) of wedded bliss? Am I being a grump, a pessimist, a negative Nellie? Am I about to break the news that after all these years, it's over? No Of course not. I'm just looking at Happily Ever After from the other side of the wedding day. When the "for better or worse and in sickness and health" really happen. What you won't find in those albums are sn...
