snap it {hidden}

It's the old adage....the kids love the packaging more than the item.  Well, in this case I'm not a coffee table was ever going to excite them...but the box it came in sure did provide hours of entertainment!  I think it will become a permanent fixture in the backyard until it literally falls apart.  When hubby came home last night from work, he got a surprise....what was hidden in the box?

The best two little parcels of course!!

snap it {colourful}

What could be more colourful that flowers at Spring time...and there is no better indication of spring than the blossoms.  Taken a few weekends back when my neighbours tree was full of these delightfully pink blooms, one gust of Melbourne wind however is all they need to flitter off into the sky and litter the grass and street like confetti at a wedding.

Snap it {Shiny}

Of all the things I love about my house, it's the morning sun shining in.  I know it really isn't much to with my house per say, maybe it's the position of it but getting a glimpse of sun rays shining through the living room and kitchen windows and over the neighbours big tree is a great way to start the day.

Taken on Instagram a few days a go when the sun was shining oh so bright and people were smiling and cheerful!  Do you think the sunshine makes people happier?

A new experience for my kids.

Snow.

Excited. Bewildered. Cold.

There was tobogganing, snow fights, snowman building

And a hot chocolate at the end of it.

snap it {small}

A little delivery this morning of fresh eggs.  The owner didn't have time to clean them, but knew I wouldn't find.  Of course, it's always a surprise how many we get, what size and even what colour (as often we get small gorgeous blue eggs.  Today it was a mixture of sizes, and my daughter loved the small eggs that it was perfect for todays Snap It theme.  It also made for an impromtu baking session in between casserole cooking and lunch.  A quick banana and walnut cake was whipped up and I'm just off to make a coffee and enjoy some freshly baked cake!

snap it {grow}

A little while back me and my two aprentices went about spending the day pottering in the garden with a faint hope of getting some veggies and herbs to grow.  I'm the first ot admit that my thumbs are no where near a shade of green, and vertually any species in the garden that needs care (does not under mine)...so I was dubious, but determined. 

I am pleased and proud as punch, that our little vertical and pallet garden has not only survived but is providing us with some fresh produce.  We have harvested some lettuce...the chives are going strong and look at these wee little brocolinni heads making an appearance and flowers on the snow peas!!! 

Our garden is growing and I feel like Mary Mary quiet contrary!

Snap it {ground}

It's always nice to focus the camera on the ground every now and again.  You can be surprised by the results.  For this weeks Snap It...I couldn't resist but include a photo from our trip last year to Italy and a great snap of the kitchen floor during a renovation....dust, footprints and little feet add to the character.

snap it {alphabet}

Ohh a little tricky this week.  I had to look in the archives.

A while back we I did some renovations to a cute little country apartment.  I loved this process, so took many pictures along the way.  We had a lovely old building circa 1880 to work with but was in need of a lot of TLC.    This was mid-renovation....

The ladder a classic capital A!
