shopping at Galeries Lafayette, Paris
The department stores in Paris are an amazing experience. One of my favourites is Galerie Lafayette. Enter the Ground Floor, look up to witness an amazing domed stained glass ceiling in vibrant colours, shedding light onto those beneath. I managed to sneak a photo of the ceili...
I guess it looked delicious in person, in a non-sneezed on way

no licking the glass at Harrods, London
What's a trip to London without the mandatory Harrods perusal? And true to form, it didn't disappoint. Our main focus were the food halls bursting with colour and tempting morsels. Luckily we went with a full stomach and managed to wrench ourselves away from the pristine produce. Leaving nose ...
Hi Marschinda, On my machine it didn’t jam. You may need to experiment first to see if it works on yours. Hope this helps x Cate

how to create your own outdoor sanctuary
With all the stress and strain of everyday living, it's never a bad idea to have a place at home where you can just relax and unwind away from it all. An outdoor sanctuary is just one such place, and can be created by investing some time, effort and a bit of imagination Add some seating An out...

French inspired knitted coasters diy and video
Do you love to knit? To me, something that has been knitted by hand has soul. The crafter has spent hours (and hours and hours....) creating and with each deft move of the kneedles, a little piece of love is knitted in as well. Having said that, I enjoy knitting but only in small doses. I like...
You get the metal from the Hardware like Bunnings for example. It’s called Aluminium flashing and it comes in a roll for about $14 for 10 metres. Pretty cheap, eh? Hope this helps, Cate

Hi everyone!! I can't believe Christmas is next week, eek! How are your preparations going? To be honest, I still haven't nearly completed my Christmas shopping and plan to strap on my shoulder pads to tackle the mall this evening. At least we have the house in order and table decorations mad...

Mum's port soaked Christmas fruit mince tarts recipe
Did someone say mince tarts? Or Port? Or Christmas? This is the best recipe for fruit mince tarts. Ever. Totally delicious and one is more than enough (unless you're a total guts). Sure, soaking the fruit and nuts in an alcoholic liquid is important, but get the buttery pastry right and the yo...

{go make me} illuminated metal Christmas wreath diy
Have you ever had an idea that lurks in the back of your mind, never seeing the light of day? It rears its head occasionally but quickly gets pushed into the 'too hard basket' and there it stays until the next thought bubble. Do you do this too? One of my 'lurking' ideas is to make a wreath in...

i'm loving right now: chunky knitting
To say I'm obsessed by chunky knitting is an understatement. It appeals to me on so many levels because I love things on a big scale and the thought of being dwarfed by a throw that totally encases the body with warmth, bulk and texture is enticing. The knitting needles are huge to knit these ...

Do you have any broken or unloved brooches hidden in a drawer that never see the light of day? I don't know about you but I go through stages of loving them (I had eight on my wedding dress!) and then not loving them so much Also, if you happen to lose a crystal it can prove difficult in filli...

the smart way to remove makeup video and knitted headband pattern diy
Is it just me or is Spring the best season of the year? The city is awash with endless blue skies, golden pops of wattle dot the skyline and fragrant star jasmine overwhelm the senses. To quote Shakespeare, 'When daisies pied and violets blue, And lady-smocks all silver white, And cuckoo bud...
