Bargin!

I love getting bargins from eBay and i thought i would start sharing some of them.

I managed to get a Bromeliad Alcantarea imperialis rubra (below) for $30 and the fibreglass black pot from Domayne also for $30.

Unfortunately it won't be staying in the pot too long as I have plans for it to be planted in the garden.

Winter time equals Ice Cream!!

Well we are into winter in Brisbane and we've had a couple of cold mornings in the last two weeks. Nothing that bad, just unusual for Brisbane.

Anyhow I had a craving for some ice cream last night with banana's and milo...Mmmmm. And then i remembered these photo's i had seen on the net of an ice cream van in London. Haha

Mondays!!

A great piece of art by Banksy. Put's things into perspective......

Landscaping

We're slowly moving out into the garden with our home renovations. In the last few months I've been buying plants off eBay and getting some freebies from my family. One of plants i have got is Korean grass (Zoysia tenuifolia). I first saw this grass near the GOMA in Brisbane. Here's hoping my grass takes off and grows well like the ones below.

Pictures taken by me.

Georg Jensen Spin Boxes

I've managed to pick up another Georg Jensen Spinbox designed by Karim Rashid. The production of these boxes finished a couple of years ago, so i jumped at the chance to buy another one. The boxes have a white removeable silicon insert. We use ours to store keys, watches and other small odds and ends. We've also used ours, minus the insert, during parties to put dip or olives in.

I've also got the smaller version and I hope to pick up the limited edition with the pink insert, as per the last picture, for my little girl.

Casala chairs

I'm always on the hunt on eBay for some Casala chairs. They're a classic from 70's and have a great modern appeal. The majority i've seen are in a cream or white colour. 
Last year I managed to get a pair in yellow and this weekend i managed to pick up a pair in a light pink colour.
