My latest purchases!

Hard Work tea towel
Straight Shooter Card
 Poulier and Poulier has some great online finds. I'm going to frame the Hard Work tea towel and the Straight Shooter card for my son's bedroom. To keep costs down (I think art work for children needs to change frequently and grow with them) I'll use Ikea frames.

Love the Tam black earthenware
Cantina Range in Nutshell

 I've placed my online order with Country Road for these lovely home wares and received a new season discount of 30% too. I bought several Tam black dip bowls for entertaining and the whole Cantina range. The saffron was the pick of the colours in this but the nutshell will match previous purchases better. I also bought some colour co-ordinated tea towels!


Peters of Kensington and their Daily Deals tempted me with these gorgeous scented candles at 60% off. Can you guess which style caught my eye?  I bought six of these for gifts and one for me! (The leopard one; Bad Woman was my pick!)


Zanzi Suede Ankle Boots
 I found these cute little suede ankle boots in Wittner. The $169.95 price tag made me walk away for a think but I've now found them online for $149.95. Go figure! 
Am still a tad undecided though, are ankle boots a fad? Am I too old? Eeeek!

 And I added to one of my Decorate + Design orders. The carved wooden cross is a bit impetuous and may end up gifted or used in a client's home but the Wood & Bone cross in black and white is a keeper. I've spotted some furniture in this style before but the prohibitive cost has prevented me from purchasing. Hopefully this little cross will suffice!

    Love the Hard Work tea towel and Straight Shooter Card and can't wait to see them framed!

    Thank god I am not subscribed to POK's Daily Deals newsletter! Those candles are beautiful!

    Your new booties are very cute!

    Most of my tea towels are from CR and the same as the ones you ordered. They are great... but most are now stained or have been ripped by our ultra sharp knives (they are not dishwasher safe, so have to be hand washed and wiped dry straight away). Booo hoo!

      I know what you mean re POK B! I may be better off not knowing and therefor not purchasing such well discounted goods! When all my girlfriend's birthdays come round though I'm sure I'll be grateful for my forsight! All my tea towels are on high rotation, I never seem to have enough! Glad these are recommended by your success with them.

    I love it that we can all shop vicariously through you on your blog!
    The letter tea towel framed for a boys room is a fab idea!
    I love all of your purchases and as for your boots, your are only as old as you feel, so if you can walk in them and not break a leg, then go for it! lol

    Have a great day.

    Looks like you've been having fun KL! I'm addicted to online shopping with Country Road - so much fun when packages arrive in the mail.

    I love your idea of framing teatowels KL! I agree that kid's art needs to change and ideas like this are a great way to keep costs down.

    For my little brothers room we used free downloadable prints of bugs and beetles from the New York Public Library image gallery. They look like a botanists sketches and will be cheap and easy to change when he's a bit older. :)

    Great minds do think alike! I don't have a 'destination' for mine yet but I'm sure I'll find several options when we're done! Can't wait for it to arrive!

    You're never too old for ankle boots! They also have staying power as they are very versatile. Unlike a taller boot they don't need to be confined to winter. I wear my black leather pair to work and when going out. Also I love your country road purchases! And I want to steal your son's artwork...
