Recipe - Garlic Pita Crisps

It's funny how some traditions seem to develop themselves organically. A new tradition has begun in our home recently that sees me landed with the task of making Sunday afternoon snacks each week to be  shared over a cup of hot tea or better yet, a smooth glass of pinot gris.

This Sunday I made my own pita crisps with some pita pockets I found stashed away in the freezer, so easy and delicious!

Ingredients:

Pita pockets - TIP stale pita pockets will actually come out better than fresh
Neutral oil
Sea salt
Fresh garlic

Method:
split the pita pocket in half and cut into eights (like you would a pizza) lay out onto a baking tray and brush the pita lightly with oil (I actually infused my oil with fresh garlic prior to this, so you could do this to enhance the flavour if you wished - i love things really garlicky, but that's not to everyone's liking). Take a peeled garlic clove, cut in half and rub the clove onto the bread pieces to give it a nice flavour. Sprinkle sea salt from a height all over the bread.

Bake at a low heat of approx 100 degrees celsius for at least 40 minutes or until golden and crispy just like the ones you buy in the shop!

Guest Bedroom Inspiration

We have been in our adorable little home for about 18 months now, the exterior has been painted and a garden planted; and so the indoor renovations begin. And it is non other than the spare bedroom once complete with stunning bright purple wall  that now awaits my personal touches.

I decided one wet miserable weekend, when I would usually turn to a creative DIY project to keep me entertained, that it might be a good time to start the interior renovation process.

So armed with enthusiasm I declared this idea to the partner and somehow gained his approval. To the paint laden wall paper we took. A trip to the local hardware store for a eco friendly chemical product that said it would make the 'hard work easy' and a nifty little cutter tool that would piece through the layers - bollycocks I personally don't think it made any difference! Successfully stripping off the purple layer I was guttered to find a momento from the 60's still firmly in tact - hard work, made harder. I won't bore you with the details, but some frustration later we had it all off.

'So...' parter started, 'what colour are we painting these walls? Are we getting new curtains'? he asks expecting from me non other than an excited walk through of every little detail of this room....but receiving a blank look in response. I havn't really confirmed all that detail yet....

But im thinking light and bright, fresh, a pop of colour, but lots of white....time to conjure some inspiration....

I thought I loved the idea of wistful white walls all clean and bright; but with the white undercoat on and white roman blinds, im not quite convinced of the white on white on white trend...not for the tiny room I have anyway.

But perhaps it would be better with pops of fresh colour like orange, love it! So bright and fun....maybe I want this in my own bedroom though!

Im loving this green wall colour....a bit bright perhaps.....i'm shying away from replacing my bright purple for the same tone in another colour.

LOVING this light, fresh green off set with all that white, this would be amazing - SOLD!

I can't wait to share my re-vamped guest bedroom with you all very soon...so excited, have a great day everyone - Lisa x

Oh happy Friday!

This Friday is all about travelling. The places we want to visit someday and beautiful places that just make you wish you were there right now. I think this weekend should be dedicated to exploring and spending some time outside, don't you! Is there anywhere you haven't been that you would love to go or somewhere you want to go back to?

Happy weekending everybody! Kirsty and Lisa X

Pallets are the item of desire this Friday. Sure they are useful as free firewood but these discarded and unwanted items have become our treasures in waiting. Palletts can be so easy to come by, contact your local frieght company to see if they have any unwanted pallets tucked out back, but be quick; they are becoming increasingly popular for use in DIY furniture and decor.

We can not wait to get our teeth into some DIY with pallets, here's just a small snap shot of ways pallets can be used around the home for you to enjoy over your Friday wine or coffee break! Enjoy :)

Pallet coffee table on wheels with a glass top...hmmm a little draw tucked in that gap there?

A rustic and neat way to store those delicious wines

This bookshelf is a great idea to make books a key part of your decor

This pallet garden is just too cute!

This would make for an amazing reading nook...or how about a day bed on the deck?
 

So, will you be scouting some pallets and getting creative this weekend? We'd love to hear and see your pallet DIY creations!

Oh, happy Friday!

This Friday's round up is dedicated to all things tea-party-esc. We're talking delicious treats, cute decorations and lots and lots of tea. Oh and flowers, lets not forget the flowers.

Such cute tea cups and a white lace table cloth set the scene.

Outdoors in the woods would make for a very pretty backdrop!

A flower crown would be the perfect addition to any tea party attire.

Cookies shaped as cute donuts? Yes please!

Flowers for this tea party would be a must. Don't you just love wildflowers?

And finally, lets be honest - what's a tea party without macaroons.

Happy Friday everyone!
