Today
I am grateful for good conversations...
Who doesn't love a good chinwag?
Relish the opportunity when a true, deep conversation arises.

Entertaining Idea: Banana Leaf Bowls
I love the simple and creative way of serving food to guests in these gorgeous banana leaf bowls. You could even use them to display some shells, jewellery and other precious trinkets!
Before using banana leaves, always scald them in boiling water to remove any bacteria or soil that may be on the leaves. Wipe the leaves dry and air them a little before cutting them to make the bowls.
Start off by cutting a fairly square piece.
You can estimate a square by folding a triangle from the edge.
After getting your squares, fold the corners down.
Be sure to fold towards the natural grains of the leaves, not against.
After folding down the corners, fold in the top and bottom corners.
Then secure the fold with a stapler or toothpick.
And now you have yourself a beautiful little banana leaf bowl that you
can fill with a delicious dessert or some prized tropical treasures!

A Beach Cottage

She shares her projects, decorating ideas and ways to achieve a comfortable and casual home without spending a fortune.
Here are the results of her renovations to the run down old beach cottage that she bought with her husband with a mission to decorate the cottage-near-the-sea with a mixture of old vintage finds scoured from the beachside suburbs, and painted everything she could in a tried and tested hand mixed beach white, added piles of white linens, striped cotton rugs and heaps of vintage china…

Coastal Charm Bedhead
I came across this gorgeous idea for a bedhead on Pinterest and had to share it with you all! I would love to make one of these but it seems that the vintage oars are very hard to come by.
