Monday Mood Board - Carrots are good for you

Do all bunny rabbits eat carrots? We learned through books, stories and cartoons that everyone seem to associate rabbits with carrots. I do know that carrots are good for you. My mum used to always say eat your carrots so that you will have a good eyesight and there is no need to wear glasses. Alas, I did not heed mum's advice and my eyesight is far from a 20/20 vision.

Nevertheless, my eyes never failed to pick out some of these lovely "carrot-y" finds from talented Madeit sellers.

Enjoy  :)    

(and don't forget to eat your carrots!)

If the skies look grey, dream of all things yellow

After a lovely few days of sunshine (and it was pretty hot too. Whew!), the skies here look dark and grey. It starting raining yesterday evening and this morning it is still wet. I don't mind the rain as it gives the plants a drink of water. The downside is that the humidity levels go straight through the roof especially if the rain comes after a very hot day.

So the Melbourne sky is not giving me any sunshine today, I started searching for some of my own. Here are some lovely yellow finds, all of them handmade in Australia and available at Madeit.

Here is one my yellow butter shortbread earrings. Available in my Madeit shop
