<br /></div>
<div>
It's been a while, I know. It took some time to get back in the swing of things following the accident, hence no posts. But I tell you what, it feels good to be back! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My motivation came in the form of an invite to join a local Pop Up shop, The Collaboration. It came just as school went back, so perfect timing. I got my skates on, dusted off the sewing machine and even started producing a new product, felt flower wreaths, and they're beautiful. I've currently got them stocked in the Pop Up shop, and hope to have them online very soon, so watch this space. Until then, if you're in New Plymouth (local or visiting) come check us out at 22 Devon St East. There are 17 retailers in the shop and 12 artists in the gallery space upstairs. We're open until Sunday 18th March. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a peek at the wreaths...</div>

Fortunately it has had a positive outcome.<br />
<div>
<br />
My precious daughters (7 & 2 years) and husband, were all hit by a car while crossing the road on a pedestrian crossing. Miraculously, they're all still here and I'm so, SO grateful for that.<br />
<br />
It was an absolutely horrendous experience. They'd gone for a walk to the foreshore, just to get some fresh air. I'd barely said goodbye. Five minutes later, I answered a call from my husband, saying he'd been hit by a car. I wasn't aware the girls had been too, until Ben and I arrived at the scene a few minutes later, and what I was met with is firmly etched in my mind. I found out later that Eden, although badly bruised and with a broken collar bone, had been more concerned with how/where her sister was, which was lovely to hear, and heartbreaking too. Her sister was alarmingly quiet and covered in blood, in her stroller. I'd actually put her in a flimsy umbrella buggy for the walk, but at the last minute I got her big stroller out of the car and transferred her, so that I could tuck a blanket around her and keep her cosy, as she'd had croup the week before. A decision that possibly saved her life. Had Ben not been unwell, he too would have gone for a walk. So that week at least, I was very grateful for viruses!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Having come so close to tragedy, has made me so much more aware that none of us are immune to it. It's been a big fright for a lot of our friends too, particularly those (most of them) with young children, it's all just a bit too close to home. The initial shock of it all is fading, Dave and the kids have recovered from their injuries and the multiple viruses/ear infections that were thrown into the mix, and our house is once again loud and chaotic (which is probably a good thing), normality reigns! However, as nice as normality is, I don't want to forget how easily it can be lost. I really do want to cherish this amazing time we have with our kids, and appreciate all the moments together... maybe yell a little less, strangely easy after a fright like this.<br />
<br />
A timely post on Facebook last week really hit home, as it so easily could have been my story too, a thought I have often, every day. It shared a post from a dad who lost his young son and the advice he had for parents, advice on what's truly important. I can tell you, I've never been so happy to sing along to Eden's school choir CD, or play baby dolls with Summer, or hug my husband. You can read it <a href="http://www.scarymommy.com/richard-pringle-things-learned-after-losing-son/" target="_blank">here</a>, I'd recommend you do.<br />
<br />
As well as a huge appreciation for still having my husband and daughters, I'm immensely grateful for all the love and support from our friends, family, and community. I could have done without this experience, but if if there are positives to be found, this is certainly one of them. We were swamped with messages of love. Girlfriends did a roster for dinners and others delivered delicious meals we were able to freeze for those nights I really needed them. People were so generous and thoughtful with their gifts, the kids thoroughly enjoyed checking the letterbox, and kids cards are often hilarious!<br />
<br />
I hesitated writing this post. Firstly it felt a bit personal, secondly I just want to move on (and ramble on about decor/crafts etc..). But, it's made me truly appreciate the precious moments with my loved ones, immensely grateful for all our wonderful friends and family... and a more cautious driver. I hope reading it (without having to go through the trauma yourself) can do the same for you. Hug your kids a little bit harder next time you see them (even if bedtime was hell tonight!), nothing in life is as important as time with our loved ones... ever!<br />
<br />
See you back here soon, with a much lighter post.<br />

How can any inspiration be garnered from bunks? I'm not a fan. But we're about to buy some... to go with our new people mover! I don't know if it's the lack of options, or the memories of shared rooms and siblings feet pushing up on the mattress, that really put me off, or that I still adore Eden's bedhead. But, like with the people mover, practicality and space are trumping style around here. So, I've been reluctantly searching for some (that are tolerable) for quite some time. A couple of years back I spotted vintage cast iron ones in an Australian magazine article and presumed they'd welded a couple of old beds together, I had no idea they were ever produced like that, until I found a set on trademe. I couldn't convince my husband that no ladder, no side rail, old wire bases were actually ok though, I guess it's a good thing aesthetics don't rule his decision making! Our children will be much safer for his sensibilities. As fate would have it, a mere 3 weeks later, look what I discovered...<br />

Mocka I love you!!!! Just look at that side rail, ladder and (checkout link) solid bar bases. There will be no resistance to these I'm sure.<br />

With it mainly being for the kids (with a bit for grown ups too), my kids definitely influence the new products we introduce. Whether it's an interest they've shown for something new, or that I'm thinking of them when sourcing products, it's only natural our store will grow with them. So although we've still got some ADORABLE baby gifts, we're getting a bit more crafty (with a bit of stylish education on it's way - watch this space) for the bigger kids too. <br />

One of my favourite new products, you may have had similar as a child, are the Shrinkies kits. <br />

<br />
I've been contemplating the relevance of this blog and whether or not I continue (ahem... resume) blogging. I got a very timely email this afternoon, from blogger decor8 daily, titled "Why blogs are still important in 2017". You can read the post <a href="http://decor8blog.com/2017/04/01/why-blogs-are-still-important-in-2017/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+decor8blog+%28decor8%29" target="_blank">here</a>. Needless to say, I've decided to continue/resume and hopefully find the old inspiration this blog provided, both for myself (as a place to share creative endeavours and what I've been loving) and hopefully, as a place of inspiration for others.<br />
<br />
I'd love to know your thoughts on blogging. Do you have a blog yourself? Do you enjoy reading them? Do YOU still find them relevant, when there are so many social media platforms out there?<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with a few pics of what I'd been meaning to share with you, my favourite creative outlet, our little coats. We've got some ready to ship and online now, but I am happy to work with you, if there is a particular colour/size combo you're after.<br />
<br />
See you back here soon (ish)<br />

Check out her grin! I knew she'd love a smeg as much as I do, I even got an excited clap. I've been looking at this wee oven for ages (years), thinking I should give it a revamp, I finally did. Here's a few action shots, beautifully modelled by Miss Summer.<br />

I had leftover paint from our front door, which was the perfect colour, and a high gloss. The knobs were painted in Resene Stack (our doorstep colour), the elements a glossy black and the inside I sprayed with a can of chrome coloured spray paint. New handles were from bunnings. The smeg letters were from a gold coin shop, in the craft aisle, they're foam stickers and I sprayed them with the same paint I used inside the oven. </div>

My inspiration (via <a href="https://nz.pinterest.com/missmollycoddle" target="_blank">pinterest</a>). I had actually started giving the oven a new coat of white paint, but was feeling very uninspired by it. This picture got me thinking about a colour, which led to the idea of going for a pastel smeg stove.</div>

One of my favourite trends at the moment is macrame, either plant hangers (natural and vivid colours) and glorious bohemian wall hangings, I can't get enough! Here's some of the most inspiring pictures I've come across and links to a couple of great books, if you want to give a go yourself. I'm keen to have a go at a larger piece and would love any advise on where to find the natural cord (preferably in NZ). Thanks in advance!</div>

Here's my 'petite' first attempt. I actually really love it, despite running out of cord, hence the staggered fringing. It was great practice and surprisingly easy. I used my clothes rack to hang it from while I knotted, which was perfect, I could sit on the couch with it in front of me. I just used cord I already had from a hardware store, it was fine for this, but am after a slighter thinner one for a larger project.</div>

This wee beauty is available now and comes with a matching bonnet, it's size one and photographed on my 'bonnie' 10 month old. I can't believe how fast she's growing, feels like yesterday she was tucked up in a bassinet, so little and new. </div>

Hello! Have any of you been to one of these? I'm having a stall at the New Plymouth <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1626953837571876/" target="_blank">Fabricabrac</a>, this Saturday, so come say hi if you're around. I've been through my stash and tried to get a bit realistic about what I'll ever actually use, so am selling a bunch of fabric, wool blankets, trims, a few old patterns and felt balls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I came across this cute (and super easy) mobile the other day, made from driftwood and felt balls, I know my little lady would really enjoy looking up at this, and what a sweet way to add a few colours to a room. </div>

After blogging about my new found love of house plants, Summer, our recently crawling 9 month old, discovered she loved them too! Dirt everywhere and my much loved (and quite large) fiddle leaf fig on top of her, it may be time to raid <a href="http://missmollycoddle.co.nz/" target="_blank">missmollycoddle</a> for some wall planters and hangers! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can WIN yourself a hanger (before I nab them all) right <a href="http://dgo.nz/cNZ4HAzipuy3901" target="_blank">here</a>, or buy one <a href="http://missmollycoddle.co.nz/collections/little-home/plant-hangers" target="_blank">here</a>. They also come in a gorgeous mint and classic black. </div>

Ben has just had the cutest little planter added to his shelves. I'm not sure what the plant is, I nabbed a bit from an outdoor pot, but figured if it got a bit unruly, I'd replace with a cactus. I love that it looks like a hair style. He's pretty keen on it too, and his sister is pretty jealous! The <span style="text-align: center;">Wild things planter is available </span><a href="http://missmollycoddle.co.nz/collections/new-arrivals/products/wild-things-planter" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="text-align: center;">.</span></div>

I've gone a bit plant mad in our house. It all started with the (must have) fiddle leaf fig plant, the resurrected maiden hair fern (I'd have sworn it was dead) and recently acquired trailing plants (that's another post). They've spread themselves around our lounge, into the hall, bathroom and lastly, into our kid's rooms. I find plants don't often feature in kids rooms, but I've managed to find a bit of colourful inspiration for you, courtesy of <a href="https://nz.pinterest.com/missmollycoddle/home-childrens-rooms/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>.<br />

My apologies for the lack of posts, but it seems one more wee darling added to the family really does make life MUCH busier, especially with school holidays thrown into the mix. I'm hoping to regain a couple of hours each afternoon when school starts next week, fingers crossed! Until then, be sure to enter our latest competition, you might just win yourself one of our very popular belly baskets. </div>

Hello! It's been quite a while, I know. This little lady might explain my absence. Call it baby brain, or maybe bloggers block, either way, she has not been conducive to blogging! She has however been the cutest addition to the MissMollyCoddle household. As the following photo's show, Summer has slotted in well as the third (very tolerant) child. </div>

Just over a year ago, we successfully sold our house privately (without the help of an agent), and purchased our new home privately as well. We've had so many people ask us how we did it, that I thought I should get it all down in a blog post before I forget what worked (and what didn't) for us. This is by no means a legal guide, it is more a light hearted look at tips and tricks that may just work for you too. It may be that you decide to sell through an agent (though please at least consider doing it yourselves), but are having trouble finding one through an agent. However you do it, I wish you luck, it's a stressful, but very exciting time!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Firstly, I took pretty great photos for a very amateur photographer (Ok, so the one above was professional, clearly better than mine). It may be worth getting someone to help you with these if you feel they could let you down. When I was approached to feature in <a href="http://missmollycoddle.blogspot.co.nz/2013/11/your-home-garden-article.html" target="_blank">Your home and garden</a>, I was asked to submit photos of our home, so I'd already de-cluttered and taken the best photos I could. Try to look at the photos through the eyes of a potential buyer, or pretend you're looking at images in a magazine and MOVE CLUTTER! Even if it's all pushed into the hallway (if you have one, we didn't) while you photograph a room, get it out! Your laundry basket and excess toys are not selling points.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Do your homework. What have houses in your area sold for? How do they compare to yours? You can buy reports through <a href="http://www.qv.co.nz/">QV</a> and <a href="http://www.zoodle.co.nz/">Zoodle</a> in New Zealand. If you have time and don't plan to sell immediately, start going to open homes and follow up by seeing what properties sell for, by asking the agent or looking it up. You could get a registered valuation on your property, if this would give you peace of mind knowing what it is estimated to be worth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Get various Real Estate agents around for a free appraisal. Ask them what they think it is worth? How they would market it? Why they would sell your house a certain way, ie. tender over auction. This may give you an insight into your most likely buyer and the best way to sell to them. It may be that you end out listing with one of them if selling privately isn't for you, so it is still worth their time. And... selling privately really may not be for you. I certainly had times I would have preferred to have an agent, but in the end was very glad we'd done it independently. We were unsure of which way we would go and were upfront about this when we had an agent around, and through meeting them this way we had decided who we would list with, should our house not sell quickly privately. They advised not to drag it out too long before listing with them, as it could make it harder to sell. Yes, probably a ploy to get you listing with them quickly, BUT I do believe it makes sense also. How often have you disregarded a house because it's been on the market for a while? I know I have, I've wondered what's wrong with it, price? Gang house next door? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Write a great advertisement for your listing! List all the things you love about your house, that you think are great selling points. We had a fabulous location, close to town, and this is what we could have written, but we looked up the exact distance and wrote that in our listing. Why put "close to town", when you could put "600m to town". We also left out the size of our house and it's gv. Neither of these were great selling points and people could ask us if it was important to them. We still sold our teeny house significantly over gv. We also bought over gv and were happy to do so as we felt we had a fair idea of what it would be worth if it had been listed by an agent. It's registered valuation proved was inline with what we paid, and expected it to be worth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* We listed on trademe, which from memory was around $400... that's what our house cost to sell! Plus legal fees, which you still have to pay with a real estate agent anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Do a leaflet drop in your area. Have it similar to what you may hand out at an open home. A few great photos, say a square collage. You can edit photo's and make photo collages, at <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/" target="_blank">picmonkey</a>. Include all the positives you want to mention, contact details and how they can view. Options you may consider are "Viewing by arrangement" "Phone to view anytime" or dates and time of open homes. Have a think about what will work best for you. I liked the idea of open homes, but was very accommodating afterwards for new viewers and especially those wanting to bring friends/family/builders through. Some people may wonder why you'd do a drop for people already in your area, especially if aiming for first home buyers. But, some of your neighbours may be renting and wanting to buy, have friends living nearby that love where they live, family that want to be closer, or see the potential for an investment property. I've come across all these scenarios. I think it's a sign of a good real estate agent too, when you receive a marketing flyer in your letterbox for a neighbouring property new to the market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* We did an open home. After listing our house on the friday night, on trademe, we had an open home that Sunday. As recommended by a real estate agent, we didn't show anyone through prior (they wanted to!) as it creates more pressure/shows the interest when seeing a lot of people at the open home, as opposed to showing them through on their own as soon as possible, when they may get a sense of being the only ones interested. Ours went for 45 minutes and again, if it's not too long, you're more likely to have a busy one. We also needed the Saturday for last minute cleaning, weeding, staging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* When deciding on the time for our open home, we looked up others due to happen in our area on the same day and overlapped. There was a comparable house about two blocks from us, having one from 1 - 1.45, so ours started at 1.30 to catch the viewers finishing there. We had signs made up with the day and time of open home and our address, with arrows to stick below these details and point them in the right direction. We put one opposite the other open home to direct those viewers to us! Cheeky huh? My Mum has a gallery and we put her big OPEN sign out front.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
*CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Remove anything that doesn't help sell it, including in my opinion old cars. We're not big car people (I'd so much rather spend on my home!) and at the time of selling had a couple of real "gets us from A - B" cars, which without wanting to sound snooty, did our house no favours parked out front. We also loaded our old dungers up with extra bits. My husband drove around with a bassinette in his car for a week! Plus my extensive stash of (backbreaking to lift!) interiors magazines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* You may want to print an info sheet. This can be good for people to have something to keep looking at. We ran out of time (after all the cleaning!) and this actually worked in our favour. People could ask anything they wanted and would get an honest answer from us, or they could obtain information from council, but I feel it may have helped us by not having the negatives (small floor area and low gv) down on paper. They were loving it for what it was (as we'd done for 6 1/2 years!) and placing their own value on it, rather than focusing on negatives, or showing their friends/family who may focus on it, or certainly have something to say about it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Fresh flowers. Do I need to elaborate? I love them! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* It's in the details! I do have some lovely white towels (just like in the image above) but... I also borrowed some off mum before the photo shoot, so I could ditch the others, including kids licenced beach towels. It looks far more luxurious, in what was essentially a basic, small bathroom. We also borrowed her lovely outdoor furniture. It's money in your pocket at the end of the day, so the more attention you pay to details and the more effort you put into cleaning and presentation, the more you will hopefully gain, regardless of whether selling privately or through an agent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* We had a fair bit of interest, so decided to go for a "best offers in by" approach. In hindsight, we hadn't given people enough time to get things sorted for offers. I'm not sure what the best length of time would be, perhaps see what real estate are regularly doing. Somewhere between soon enough that urgency is created, not so long that people change their minds, or find another property. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* We also did a leaflet drop to find our current property and got extremely lucky. There weren't a lot of houses on the market at the time and there seemed to be a scrum for anything in the location we wanted, so doing a drop in our area meant we avoided this. In a dream world we wanted an extra bedroom, still to have a studio/sleepout, a garage would be nice, and we really didn't want to leave our area... or extend our mortgage too much to stay. We got all of the above, two blocks away. Sure, we need to do a fair bit of work and I compromised on my beautiful back yard, but we still got so much of what we wanted, all by going for a walk around the neighbourhood one evening. We made a simple flier, young family looking to purchase in your area, blah, blah, blah.. and got a phone call the next morning. Voile!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*We didn't get it for less than it would have been marketed at (real estate quotes littering the house assured us of this), perhaps we could have, but we had good offers on ours, were elated to find what we were looking for and really wanted to secure it and keep everyone happy. In my experience a bit of politeness goes along way. I would be much more inclined to negotiate with someone I liked, than someone who may have picked holes in every aspect of our home. Buying privately means you'll meet the owner, so bear in mind it would pay to have a pleasant relationship from the offset, for what usually becomes quite a stressful ordeal. Owners know their homes flaws and (usually) price accordingly, if not, at least remain polite when negotiating. Remember, it is their home, odds are there will be emotions involved in selling it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
*Good luck!!</div>

I've just returned from an incredible two weeks in Europe with my sister, it was total bliss! We had four days in London, showing her the sights, exploring the shops and reminiscing.We then headed to France for the main event, my brothers wedding, which was a beautiful, perfect day in an idyllic french village. We finished up with a couple of days in Paris, sightseeing, shopping and working our way through the delicious patisseries. Again, total bliss. Throughout the trip I took loads of photos with my blog and it's followers in mind. I'll share them over a few posts, starting with this one on Portobello markets, Notting Hill. The sheer array of vintage goodies is just incredible, and although I wanted to bring SO MUCH home, my suitcase and the often exorbitant prices kept me in check. The atmosphere is fantastic though too. We got there early and wandered with ease before the crowds descended. The aroma from food stalls, great people watching and GORGEOUS buildings makes it one of my favourite experiences, which is why I spent many Saturdays during my OE roaming the market and why we booked our flights to arrive the night before!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">just kidding! Well, sort of. We're pretty normal in the way that we eat dinner, at a table, telly off (usually) and fully clothed. I like to think we eat pretty healthy, varied dinners and that although the kids definitely have their favourites (and like to tell me so!) we do also like them to try a variety of foods. Somewhere between washing, housework, running a business, raising kids and renovating, I seem to have lost my cooking mojo. That's when we started eating nude... well "<a href="http://www.eatnude.co.nz/" target="_blank">Eat NuDe</a>" to be precise. For the price of a coffee, Eat Nude will provide you with five balanced dinner meals planned for you, that's 5 recipes,a categorised shopping list and fantastic tips to save you time, money and calories. You can view a sample menu/list <a href="http://www.eatnude.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/eatnudeweek15.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.eatnude.co.nz/" target="_blank">Eat NuDe</a> has been developed by one of my lovely cousins, Bronwyn, a dietitian passionate about making healthy meals easy, affordable and delicious. Given her knowledge gained from years of study and experience, it seems an absolute bargain to have meals planned <b>by a dietitian</b>, for around $5 per week! The extra tips you get access too are also invaluable. I personally found the portion size advice particularly helpful, as I have to confess to letting them slowly creep up, so it's great to get them in check. It's also great to print a shopping list, add (in the spaces provided) the few extras we need and head out the door for a purposeful and quick shop. No aimless wandering, throwing in a pile of ingredients with little inspiration or insight into what they'll turn into. Plus, if I do have two little rascals wanting to play hide and seek down the aisles, at least we're out of there fast!</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a snapshot of one of my favourite meal plans. We always have leftovers for my husband to take to work, which is great, a yummy healthy lunch, that he didn't have to buy. I've made the devilled sausages so many times since this week, it's now a firmly established family favourite on the two nights we don't Eat NuDe, in fact we had it tonight. </div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Included in each weekly plan is the 'twofor' option, which is basically two meals with little more effort than one. For example (we loved this) one week included a delicious chilli con carne one night, which if you chose to double, provided the base for yummy wraps the following. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One last thing, it is fantastic for getting you to try new ingredients. Things I'd wanted to try, but didn't really know what to do with, like </span>haloumi<span style="font-family: inherit;">, Israeli couscous and </span>quinoa<span style="font-family: inherit;"> are introduced and really quite simple when a recipe is provided. I'd also never cooked brown rice and it's now all I cook, we love it. I know it's not that exotic, but I'm a creature of habit, habits which eat </span>NuDe<span style="font-family: inherit;"> will help you break!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meal plans are emailed every friday, so get in and <a href="http://www.eatnude.co.nz/subscribe/" target="_blank">subscribe</a> before midday tomorrow and have your weeks meals sorted. Subcription always makes me think "committed", you're not. She has a range of subscription options, including just one week, perfect for trying it out, but like me, I'm sure you'll be back. So go on, check it and have a bit of fun getting your mojo back!</div>

If you follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/missmollycoddle.co.nz" target="_blank">facebook</a>, you may have noticed I've been going a bit gaga over felt ball garlands... pink ones, black ones, pastel ones, blue hues... They're gradually getting listed in <a href="http://missmollycoddle.co.nz/" target="_blank">my store</a> and on <a href="http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?searchtype=SELLER&member=3437208" target="_blank">trademe</a>, and strung all over my house in the meantime. You may also have seen the one in <a href="http://missmollycoddle.blogspot.co.nz/2014/06/edens-room.html" target="_blank">Edens room</a>, it's staying, but I'd be happy to make another. If you see one you'd like and can't find it, send me a message through <a href="https://www.facebook.com/missmollycoddle.co.nz" target="_blank">facebook</a> or via email and I'll see what I can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The felt balls are handmade in Nepal and handstrung by me, here in NZ. Each ball is 2.5cm, with some larger 3.5 white ones and a few smaller grey ones. Most felt ball garlands on the market are only up to 2cm, but I've gone for bigger and bolder.</div>

Here's some pics from Edens recently redecorated room (minus her large villa window, a mammoth restoration job, it's still on the "to do" list). I've chosen a palette of turquoise, pink and white. These colours were dictated by the colours in a pair of vintage ballerina barkcloth curtains I bought many years ago, bought because I knew I'd regret not buying, even though I had no window to fit them, I don't think I even had a daughter at that time. When we shifted I crossed my fingers they'd fit her window, it wasn't to be, so I unpicked the curtains and painstakingly lined up the print and made them into a gorgeous duvet cover. I'd bought some plain pink sheeting fabric from spotlight, which would have done the trick, but I found a perfect retro sheet in my stash, bright blue floral that match the blues in the barkcloth, it looks amazing. I also had just enough of the perfect pink piping to edge it. I love it when it all comes together after a rummage through what I've already got.</div>

I really wanted to finish the bedhead (remember I blogged about it <a href="http://missmollycoddle.blogspot.co.nz/2014/01/my-garage-sale-haul.html" target="_blank">here</a>?) before I showed you the duvet too, as it all ties in together. I picked the colour Resene Hippie Blue for it as it was a good match with the blue in duvet. I love mixing vintage with new and bright, but find getting the colours right is crucial, too vivid and it can just make anything vintage look old and faded, but match it just right and it can look gorgeous. I took the colour chart to a paint shop and had a batch of fast dry enamel mixed and put in a spray can. He did an amazing job and gave me a little extra for those inevitable chips. I cannot imagine painting it using anything other than a spray can, it would have been an absolute nightmare.</div>

The beautiful art deco light shade was from the kids room in our previous home. The pink electrical cord and cast iron ceiling rose were won from <a href="http://icotraders.co.nz/" target="_blank">Ico Traders</a>, who I highly recommend. Miranda was so lovely to deal with, super helpful and friendly. Thank you so much, I absolutely love it! My amateur photography didn't really capture the pink of the shade or cable, so check out their website to see the great range of colours available.</div>

I've noticed a trend for bright colourful geometric prints lately, and I'm LOVING it! A full wall may not be for everyone (and I'm pretty confident it wouldn't be for my husband), but never fear, there are loads of ways to introduce a touch of this glorious pattern into your home, without it actually taking over your home. We've just got the perfect accessory just in, the <a href="http://missmollycoddle.co.nz/collections/new-arrivals/products/objectify-grid-wall-clock" target="_blank">grid clock</a> (pictured above), made from sustainable Radiata Pine plywood, and designed and made right here in NZ. It would be perfect in a kitchen, or for introducing an array of colours into a kids bedroom. Here are some images that sparked my love for these patterns...</div>
