A new level of shelving

Shelving is just shelving anymore...it has become an art piece on our walls and floors. These are some great shelving ideas I've found over the years....

cooking it up in colour

I LOVE baking...... so when it comes to tools and gadgets that make your baking experience easier, i get excited but it TOPS it off when all these incredible tools and gadgets come in an ice-cream selection of colours.

Like these KitchenAid Artisan stand mixers.....just looks at these colours
You can get them from http://www.yuppychef.com/
They are also featured in the April issue of Ideas mag in a stunning pastel pink.
One day I will own one of these three delicious colours.

Stunning bowls and measuring cups.....also from http://www.yuppychef.com/

How cute is this ice-cream timer from Mr Price HOME


I have a "thing" for candy jars......looks at these beauties i have found on the web....not sure where to find them but they sure are "delicious".



"Smeg" oh "Smeg" I do love thee.

Mona the Celeb

I had quite the laugh when i walked into this room in the louvre..seeing all these people staring at this 77cm x 53cm painting called the Mona Lisa....you might have heard of it before ?!? wow Mona you are quite the celeb.....I just had to take a photo of the crowd, it was more amusing to me that the actual painting.

Adventure time

I discovered the BIG wide world  for my very first time in September 2010.......and Oh boy it was truely Amzazing.
What a Wonderful World.

London- I loved it
The Shopping...boy oh boy
             Paris-What a beautiful place...the detail, the architecture, the history and the eiffel tower....one of my best memories was sitting at the top of the tower looking over the whole of Paris, eating a waffle smothered in Nutella....mmmm
Switzerland- How can i begin to tell you how beautiful this place is. It is so clean, so fresh...I think this photo says it all.....

Pisa Italy- Wow... actually seeing the leaning tower of Pisa is mind blowing. It is just so funny how everyone across the world come to this spot to pose with this tower...there is actually a piece of the lawn dedicated to people pushing, holding, supporting, kicking the tower.
Florence Italy- an afternoon is not nearly enough time to really appreciate this beauty. I had my very first gelato here.....my first lick and i was hooked.  

Venice Italy- This place stole my heart.....The sun kissing your skin as you strawl through the alleyways. The pasta...wow the italians truelly made something wonderful......oh and i will never forget the hot chocolate i had there cause it was like heaven in my mouth...so thick..so smooth....so delicious.
Germany- If you love beer, this is the place to be. but for me....not my cup of tea. Im an instant blowfish with the first sip of beer. I was happy with my "Katjes" sweets and being in the home land of "Bauhaus".
Amsterdam-The home of my ancestors....smelly cheese and wooden shoes.
