My favorite part was the gorgeous white paper lanterns strung up in the palms!

47 Icecream flavours!
This was when we were in Cairns. I have not seen many shops that have so many flavours around anymore. The kids (and the adults) had so much fun choosing!

Fanciful flowers and vessles for wedding, parties and just for your home.
There are endless beautiful things you can do when you need vases on mass. No need to buy expensive vases in bulk, here are a few of my favorite ideas from Pinterest: |
| Tea tin |
 |
| Sparkling water bottles |
 |
| Bowls and mugs |
No need to buy too many expensive flowers, just buy a few bunches and divide them up!
 |
| Tin cans spray painted with metallic spray paint. |
 |
| Tea pots |
 |
| Metallic spray painted glass jars |
 |
| An large collection of various clear glass bottles |
 |
A pretty jam jar

Do you remember this old fashioned play equipment?
We visited a gorgeous little town called Yungaburra near Cairns. Everything was pretty and looked maybe as it did 50 years ago. The kids and us adults were thrilled to find these swings in the park. It brought back a memory of something like this from when I was a child, but I have not seen them in a while. The ladder was not attached at the base, making it a challenge to climb. The kids had so much fun on such simple play equipment.

Beautiful historic buildings around Cairns, Australia...
We had a lovely holiday in Cairns. One of the many beautiful things there was all the
gorgeous old buildings.
This is not an old building, but the style I really loved. At Palm Cove, along the beach most of the shops and accommodation where built in this beautiful style.

Cane coffee table ready for a new owner and a makeover!
This is such a nice coffee table, very sturdy. I was dying to pint it in a bold colour like teal or something deep like navy to highlight the fantastic cane detailing on the sides, but I have to clear pout all my items, so this is another beauty on eBay at the moment.
