LES BALLONS SAINT VALENTIN







Ok so i'm not really into the whole Valentines Day thing, however, if I were to recieve some of these 'ballons Saint Valentin' from Geronimo I just may be won over!


~ A little bit about Geronimo ~

Geronimo! was founded by Certified Balloonatic and Master Balloon-Trooper, Jihan “Jihanimo” Zencirli, as a way to celebrate friends’ and families’ lives in her hometown of Seattle in 2010. On any given day, Jihan could be seen arriving to a restaurant, birthday party, friend’s home, park, art gallery, library or boutique with her balloons fastened to her 1974 (yellow with matching saddlebags and whitewall tires) French Moped, drawing attention and delight from every person she zipped past. Eventually “The Balloon Girl”, as she was soon known, decided that it was time she shared the bliss of balloons with people of Los Angeles. Jihan opened the doors to her Seaton Street Studio and Workshop in Los Angeles, on May 1st 2011, where her spherical interests can be seen as an explosion and  visual feast of fine ribbon, vintage millinery and hand cut paper fancy created exclusively and originally for every order, also offering party planning and event services!



How I wish they were in Australia - I love the concept.

TOASTY NOUGAT








Favourite Tea of the Month: 
 ~ Toasty Nougat ~


T2 Tea's Description: 
'This creamy golden liquor is positively dreamy, with warm notes of almonds and caramel that defy delicious. A refreshing burst of sweet apple seals the deal.'


As I sit here sipping this delightful tea, I am dreaming of warm, neutral interiors with timber accents.
These are gorgeous.

*Most definitely loving the last image's Parquetry floor boards. I want.


NEW GIRL





It's fair to say I'm loving the TV Series 'New Girl' starring Zooey Deschanel.

It centres around the very quirky Jess (Zooey) who had a bad break up and moves into an apartment with three single men.

The stories are very funny and I find myself laughing hysterically at the many awkward things Jess says and does. If you like Zooey in the movies 500 Days of Summer & Yes Man you will love her in 'New Girl' too!
