botanical prints...

It has been so lovely having Mum to stay for the week, and time has gone far too quickly. She is flying up to Brisbane to stay with Clare tomorrow and I wish I was going with her! Last weekend we found a fabulous little second hand book sale where we stumbled across a gorgeous old book of botanical prints. The pictures were just asking to be framed and were just what I needed to hang above my bed. My bedroom has been lacking personality and until now I had not found the inspiration I needed to give it some life.

The pretty pink jug was picked up at the Camberwell Markets (I think Clare almost turned green when Mum and I rang her from our Sunday morning trip there - it was one of her favourite places to visit when she lived in Melbourne). The book in the photo has such a pretty green cover that I bought it from the book sale even though I never intend reading it. Ah, the thrill you get from snaffling up a bargain and decorating on the cheap!
