No matter how you say it...

| Print available from The Print Makers |
there is no one as special as your mum! It's Mother's Day here in Australia this Sunday so it's time to show your mum she is special and much appreciated.
Things don't have to be elaborate - it can be a sleep in -

| "Your Touch" fine art photography print from Photo Zoo |
some time to relax in the tub -
 |
| "Bathtub" image by Jane Heller |
a quiet cuppa -
 |
| "Serene" by Gabrielle Kai |
or time out with a good book -
 |
| "The Book Collection" from LolasRoom |
It's the simple gestures that really mean something.
Naturally, some of these -
 |
| "Let Them Eat Macarons" by Chelsea Victoria |
and some pretty flowers (Chrysanthemums of course!) -
 |
| "White on White" by joystclaire |
certainly wouldn't go astray either!
Most happiest of Mother's Days to all you mothers, especially mine - love you mum!

All the leaves are brown ...
 |
| Perfect Autumn Ensemble by poppopportraits - I just love her work! |
because it is well and truly Autumn here in Sydney!
Of course Autumn leaves are lovely in brown -
Clockwise from the top left: Tree with falling leaves wall decal, "Indian Summer" tea cups and saucers, Fall Leaves digital print available from modernmarks,edible fall oak, maple and aspen leaves by sweetdejavu - these are so sweet, they are made of rice paper and you use them to decorate wine glasses,balsam fir sachets and Mandy Gerth's "Seasons Passing, Fall" print
and look pretty in muted shades too -
Top row: "Fall Shadows" etching from AnaDoraArt, Fall Leaves magnet set and Babayagada 's "Palette of Fall"
On the bottom: zaraillustrates "Autumn Swing" print, "Novel Autumn Trees" fine art print available from LauriepunzzleLand and spotted earthtone ceramic dish
They can look rather fetching in black and white and shades of silvery grey -
On the left: Vintage Edelstein porcelain leaf shaped plate and set of four porcelain tiles by botanicraft
In the middle: Falling Leaves vinyl wall art and double leaf necklace in antique brass - just beautiful!
To the right: squirrel - not a leaf I know but so cute and makes me think of Autumn!, What Fall Feels Like print by bluebicicletta - also not a leaf but very sweet and "Falling Leaves" sterling silver leaf ring
and very pretty in pinks and pastels -
Along the top: Large California pink leaf tray and Pink Autumn pillows
Across the bottom: Autumn Ruby Tree print from michellechristina, mini maple leaf porcelain bowls, "Waiting for Fall" from poppoportraits - her name is Stephanie and she is wearing a pink coat - just perfect!
All very lovely but I think that my favourite shade for Autumn leaves would have to be scarlet -
Clockwise, starting from the top: "Maple Lake" abstract fine art print by budanART, October Curtain Call fine art photography print via bomobob, orange/brown felt coasters, Baby squirrel soft sculpture from dragonhouseofyuen, "Autumn Leaves" print by ialbert, "The Fall" fine art photographic print from madelaine and "Autumn", the Matryoska pillow doll from MadGypsy
So striking! Do you have a favourite?
Most magical of Autumn May Mondays to you,

Has it really been...
a week since Easter? I don't know where the time goes! I decided to have an extended Easter break - very decadent I know - but things will be back to normal next week I promise!
In the meantime, here are some pictures of our Easter celebrations from last week.
Lots of pretty packages -
a yummy lunch with family in the beautiful sunshine -
and plenty of easter treats for the kids (big ones included!) -
made for a wonderful Easter Sunday at ChezB! Hope your Easter was special too!
Happy, happy weekend to you all,

Because it wouldn't be...
Easter without chocolate, bunnies and eggs, today I am featuring some of my favourites!
First up, yummy chocolate from The Ticket Kitchen -
I don't think that chocolate gets any better than this and the styling is just beautiful! This shop is the brain child of AmberLee and Andrea and opened this year on my birthday - what a nice pressie! I have been a long time follower of AmberLee's blog. You can check it out here.
Next are these gorgeous bunnies from Shannah -
This is the current collection especially for Spring. There are only a few pieces left so you'll have to be quick if you'd like one! You can also have a look at previous work here and if there is something you like, the lovely Shannah will be happy to custom make it for you. I love these!
And, finally, the beautiful work of Paloma's Nest. I think they speak for themselves -
not only do they look lovely but they are non fattening so you can have as many as you want - see I really do have your best interests at heart!
Happy Wednesday,
