Random Bits and Pieces

So excited to receive my free lamp from buysterlighting . I love it and it fits into our house so nicely. Now in the family room we have some nice muted light after dinner instead of glaring down lights shining on us.

It looks so nice next to our new retro lounge

I was given all thes lemons by a friend last week and I have been staring at them ever since wondering what to do with them.......hmmmmm

Then inspiration struck in my new Julie Goodwin cookbook. Lemon Diva Cupcakes. I will be giving these a go on the weekend. I have plenty of people visiting this long weekend so it will be nice to have something homemade and delicious to offer them.

My friend Linda made this cute little notepad in one of her cardmaking classes. Just the right size to pop in your handbag. I love how she was able to match the cardstock to the colour of the pen.Thanks Linda.

And on the inside, some of those handy post-it notes.

I'm having an absolutely lovely week this week and hope you are too.

We Love Lamps

In this house we use a lot of lamps. We love old lamps......

......girlie lamps......
..and lamps instead of lots of lights. After dinner we turn on a low wattage lamp in the kitchen to reduce the release of carbon dioxide (and save on our electricity bill).

In the bedroom we use lamps almost exclusively.
By replacing all our globes with CFL globes we are helping to reduce our carbon footprint and save money as these globes last 10 times longer than ordinary globes.

Someone from buysterlighting must have heard about my love of table lamps and have offered to send me one to test out and review on my blog - for free. And all I have to do, is tell all you wonderful readers to go and have a look at their website at all their lovely lamps.

So, as Winter is about to start and lamp light is so snuggly to curl up with, invest in a couple of lamps if you don't already have some, pop in your CFL globes and watch your fave DVD by lamp light. Not only will you save money but you'll be helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air.
