around home...

Happy weekend to you.  I hope you are enjoying some sunshine in your part of the world today.  I've been pottering around this morning taking in some of the things I love about our home.


A big bowl of oranges is so colourful, and doesn't it take a while to get them all balanced nicely in the bowl. 
Then someone you love comes along and decides they want juice.  There goes my centrepiece that took so long to balance!  I just keep smiling.

Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air
and life force in the home clean and positive.
Do you have any crystals?  I have some really special ones including this stunning amethyst cluster.  It's about the size of a hand with fully spread fingers.  It sits on my much loved and admired green hall table as you enter our home. 

It rests on a very beautiful linen piece which I picked up in Walcha, NSW, last year.  I bought a few little pieces of linen.  This one didn't have a price on it and when i handed it to the lady, she gave it a funny look and told me i could 'just have that one'.  One persons trash... you know the rest.  I love it.  It's incomplete which leaves me thinking...  I wonder who the crafter was behind this and why it was never finished.  The joys of treasure hunting!


Oh, you want to see my much loved green hall table.

I love her legs, her colour, her presence.  My heart lifts whenever I see her. 
Green is said to be a heart healing colour.  It's works for me!

If you are wondering what the canvas says, here's a close up.  I did blog this a while ago, but I've made many friends since then who may not have seen it.

Which reminds me, I've promised myself a day of gardening and creating.  I get so involved in reading other blogs and pottering around the place, I lose track of time.  Have a special day.

  8. I love your green bowl full of bright oranges, so happy and cheery and good feng shui too I read. I have a bowl sitting on my dining table too:)

    That purple crystal is beautiful. I know one little girl in particular who is fascinated with crystals and has a number of them sitting on her beside table. A good friend of mine believes highly in them and I have a few as well. I bought a heart rose quartz when I was in Byron Bay which I love, they are naturally beautiful aren't they. I hope you are having a wonderful week. xo
