I do love a wonderful international paper product website find, particularly one that is in french. Im forced to just look at the images and not read any of the written words. This is by far one of the sweetest range of products Ive seen for a long while.

Every bit of this site is gorgeous, and the products just beautiful. ♥

Winter has arrived in Australia and along with it so has a variety of nasties making us all a bit flu’ey. Over a week ago I was hit with a nasty flu leaving me with a lot of time to surf the net and find interesting ways to keep warm. ♥ I do love a hot water bottle, but Im not a huge fan of the bland fin like beige rubber. So what is a flu stricken girl to do but find a super stylish hot water bottle cover. I headed straight for etsy ♣

So many wonderful finds, Im still not sure which one to go with but Im partial to the ecru heavy cable knitted one. ♥
