Anthropologie love (+more Molly)


Like many of you out there in blogland, I have long admired the goodies at Anthropologie. As the Aussies amongst us know, there is no store in Australia.  Well, I finally took the plunge and bought myself a couple of goodies online recently.


I bought this wonderfully colourful sheet set. I realise it is probably too over the top for the minimalists out there, but I love the fabric and pattern. I decided it was too pretty to cover up with a doona, so I turned the top sheet into a doona cover!


Molly really liked it when I layed it out on the floor. I thought the crazy pattern would also be good at hiding the paw prints that regularly appear on our bed.


Below is the doona and sheets on our bed. And wouldn't you know I caught a naughty, somewhat wet pooch (Molly) up there having come home from paddling in the nearby creek!


 And because I could I added this super cute ceramic punnet thingy in with my order. Pretty no?


Needless to say, I have the Anthro bug. I can't wait to do a spot of shopping there again, one day in person!
Are you an Anthro fan? What goodies have you bought from there?

Yummy treats


Yesterday I made eclairs and profiteroles for the first time.
The recipe I used is here and despite all the reviews on the site saying the choux pastry was a bit tricky to make I thought it was rather easy. The custard cream filling was so yummy I had to pipe the remains straight into my mouth. Yes, gross of me.
Sorry for the dodgy image, it was low light. They're perched on a Spode plate on my new Mozi tea towel which I think might be too nice to use as a tea towel. I thought it might be better as a placemat of some description. I like the overload of pattern :)
