DIY Old Jar Lanterns

I have been making these handmade lanterns for years, using old pickle and mayo jars. They can be used inside or out, hanging or sitting, in groups or single, and as the whether heats up they are perfect for eating outside at night as the flame is shielded from the wind and the candle won't fall over as it's steadied by the sand.

To make your own you will need:

- Glass jars
- Wire (a wire coat hanger can be used)
- Wire cutters
- Candles
- Sand (you could use sea salt)

Wash glass jars in hot soapy water and dry completely. Wrap wire around the mouth of your jar and cut allowing a few extra centimetres to allow you to twist the ends together later. Cut another piece of wire to form your handle. Bend into a U-shape and twist each end around the opposite side of your circle piece of wire. Wrap the circle piece around the mouth of the jar again and twist the ends together. Fill the bottom of the jar with sand and place your candle inside.

Found Them!

A few weeks back I posted an image of these gorgeous pink floral cushions. Well, thanks to Pinterest I found them! Whilst looking through images one night I came across the very same image and it turns out the cushions are sold only a few suburbs away from me at Fenton & Fenton. And although this particular fabric was a few years old, they kindly made these up for me in the identical fabric. Thrilled is an understatement!

Fenton & Fenton on High Street, Prahran is definitely worth a visit. If I wasn't saving I could have walked away with everything.

Totes Amazing

Whether for the beach, gym, travel or work, there are totes for every occasion. If money were no object I'd have a Céline Luggage Tote, but thankfully there are loads of gorgeous totes that fall more within my budget. I have wanted an iomoi personalised monogram canvas tote for a few years now as they're PERFECT for the beach and nice enough for work. If you haven’t already seen them, iomoi bags come in an array of sizes and the monogram options are endless. My biggest issue will be choosing a design.

Father's Day

I'm sure every little girl loves their Dad. I've always been a Daddy's girl. My first word was "Dadda' and I only cried when he dropped me off during my first week of school. Such was my obession I even insisted that I take a little square of one of his t-shirts in my bag so I could smell it when I needed to! Of course I've grown out of that now but I'll forever be his little girl.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there, old dads, new dads, step-dads, granddads. And to my Dad, I love you Daddio, you're the greatest x
