Selling Online

I am so excited for 2012!! The last week has been very busy as I have been going through all of the things for our online shop in preparation to start selling. I have set up my little office which I will photograph all of my products, answer buyer questions and package all of my items to send to wonderful customers.

As I have been addicted to vintage since I was in high school I have always dreamed of one day selling my wares and spreading the joy that comes with vintage items. I understand that it's not for everyone, but it is something that I truly love.

I will be selling my items online through etsy. I have never purchased or sold anything through this website but I am looking forward to joining their community of sellers and who knows where all this might lead to? I will start of selling small items like handbags, belts, earrings, shoes, sunglasses. Once I get hang of selling these items and how etsy works, I will start to sell clothing, and boy do I have a lot of wonderful clothing pieces to sell. At the moment, I am photographing lots of items and will hopefully have these listed by the end of this week.

I thought I would share some photos of my office that I have set up. The desk and 2 bookcases are all from IKEA. The cute chair was built by my great grandfather and I am currently seeking a cute checkered cushion. The pretty painting is called the "weeping rose" and is by Tretchikoff. It was given to me by a colleague at work. It is such a stunning picture, I absolutely love it so much. I love the colours and I often find myself wondering about the meaning of it. My other items include a cute cath kidston tray which was a gift from my mum and the various nick nacks which I have placed on this tray are all thrifted finds. I particularly love the pin cushion which is made from a teacup. It is absolutely adorable. I recently picked up the peach coloured shell from a thrift store and purchased the eiffel tower book ends from target last year. I was given the magnetic white board for christmas and it is from Typo and I have had the cute cupcake and cake magnets for a while which now have the perfect new home. My macaroon tins are from spotlight.

Turquoise & White

I love the colour combination of turquoise and white, it is so fresh, crisp and lively! We recently purchased a new desk to place in our home office which has a glass top and silver trestle legs. I think I am going to purchase a replica white leather eames chair, and a neautral coloured sofa bed and cover it with beautiful turquoise cushions.

The Trestle Table

I don't know what it is at the moment, but everywhere I look, I see trestle tables and I absolutely love what I see. We are going to get a trestle table and feature it in our study. Check out some of the pictures I have been drawing inspiration from.

On the weekend we took a trip to IKEA seeking inspiration for our home. We were overwhelmed with lots of great inspiration and made several purchases. 


Check out what we scored!

Unfortunately there were some things that I now wish I had of bought that I didn't! There was also a few things that they were out of stock. This is not such a bad thing as we had a great time processing ideas of what we want for our place.  These are some pics of the things we will pick up next time:

Friday, Friday, Hooray for Friday

What a week it has been... we moved into our new house over the weekend and have been busy little bee's unpacking, cleaning and washing! We do not have any internet connection as yet hence the lack of posting! I am looking forward to this weekend immensely as we can relax and have a much needed sleep in. I will be spending my weekend, sorting, shopping for furniture and definitely enjoying some glorious QLD weather!

These are my favourite pictures from the week xo
My favourite... chocolate Milkshakes with sprinkles!!!













Yes its cake!
