10 Things I Learned & Loved This Weekend

1. I was pleased to find these red, white and blue stripe seat pads in the sale. They are ideal for softening these hard school chairs.
2. Of course, I had to hang some Team GB bunting to show my support for the team in their London 2012 Olympics campaign!
3. I snapped this evocative sunset as I walked to dinner with my mum on Saturday night.
4. Next time I'm in NYC, I'd like to visit Catbird to pick up one of their beautifully packaged candles.
5. Picking out your first olive tree with my heartmate was a special experience.
6. I spent Sunday making curtains whilst intermittently screaming at my TV during various Olympic events - fun!
7. Words cannot express how much my heart beats for this stripe yellow blanket from Father Rabbit.
8. My pencils spent most of the weekend flirting with this pencil cup!
9. I love this sophisticated and stylish tote from Hasso.
10. Graphic, colourful and stripy, this cushion combines three of my favourites!

    I have some chairs like your #1 picture, but the bars are plain metal. I can't wait to figure out how best to paint them so I can get a colour boost!

      Hi Ferren! Have you considered spray painting the metal legs in your desired colours? Done right, this will give a lovely smooth finish. Good luck!

      Hi Will-- do you know if you need a specific type of spray paint (i.e. for metals)? Also, should I put a finishing coat over it?

      I bought myself one last year, Lianna, and haven't looked back since! This is only the second pair I've made and it's not too difficult. I'm excited about this pair as I bought the fabric in the sale at Cath Kidston!

      Yep, this will be the second pair I've made now. Kinda proud of myself as it's all self taught! They're not perfect but at least I know I made them myself, you know?!

    OHHHHH! How exciting!!! Which olive tree did you end up planting?

    We picked our olive tree last year and we are so thrilled to have the handsome tree as part of our front yard. We have the manzanilla, who is giving about 10 olives at the moment (haha still a baby!)

      Our tree is a baby too and won't start fruiting for another couple of years I don't think! So excited to own one!
