coastal farming inspired...a beach gal & a hessian farm sack...

when we first moved to england from australia...we were amazed at the *stuff* we managed to 

find at car boot sales...in local markets & at charity shops...

i must admit, i did have a crazy huge small list of goodies that i hoped to come across & take back 

to our beach house in Oz someday...

anything {chippy}...{old & washed up}...{vintage & handmade}...or my fave {china} was 

snapped up & added to our lovely big old english country house...

our house became our home...

i love so much of our life here in the english countryside...


once a month our little town square holds a wonderful local produce market...

there is a new stall there that i have been coveting for a while...& the prices are amazingly cheap...

i still think that's the aussie in me, as anything truly vintage, english or european in australia, still seems 

to cost a small fortune...

since discovering the world of blogging- that list i mentioned of essential, longed for, hoped for 


english / european goodies grew ridiculously a little...


as did my desire for all things farm like...growing up on the beaches, but now living in the countryside, i

am wanting to mix the two sides of our life...*coastal farming* inspired...

these gorgeous blogs from around the globe fuelled new interests in things i couldn't hope to discover in 

my local suburb on sydney's beaches...

the prairie gals- american bloggers such as {dreamy whites} got me hooked on all things hessian & 

farm orientated...

i have been on the hunt for a little bit of prairie for a while now...

i was smiling big when i found this hessian grain sack, from an english farm, at our village market...

£8 of pure heaven...

i have wanted an old hessian farm sack for so long now...coveting them on ebay from the States...


i can't tell you how excited i was...a bag of local produce & a hessian wall hanging...

i have a thing for {wall hangings}...alternate artwork...a little bit of history captured on your wall...

i am so happy that my hessian wall hanging, inspired by the american gals who's blog i love, was 


actually found locally though...


cause the thing about cruising ebay looking for hessian wall hangings from old farms, is that you


may find some other little treasure that you didn't realise you desperately needed...


i never realised that i soo needed a pile of old fabric french numbers...

desperately needed it seems...!

back in Oz...my list never actually had *old-hessian-farm-bag-for-the-wall*...


nor *vintage-fabric-french-numerals-for-cushions* on it...


but that is the beauty of travel...& local monthly markets...& ebay...

with autumn upon us...& this being the last day of half tern holiday for the kids- these little finds are

going to inspire me this week...

we've had a few big decisions to make lately...these are another whole blog post people, man life can

make you work hard at times...

but for this week, i'm going to slow down a little & love my latest finds...

*coastal farming inspired*- it may catch on!?

i've just seen the latest copy of the {mollie makes}

gals- it is gorgeous!

i wish i could post you all one

i truly do- from the photography to the flippin adverts-it's all inspiration!

but this one's going to Miss.Amanda from {small acorns}
