one of the best colours around. my english rose tinted complexion means i cannot always pull off yellow. (read: never pull off yellow)...but this warmer tone seems to fit perfectly. just like the skirt i bought at rummage on sunday. it appears to be handmade, have lace embedded down the front and fits...like a glove (read: i won't be eating carbs before wearing it.) in other news, i have decided to head over to the UK to see my nan (kit) in may next year. this means saving has begun, my next rummage will have lots of my lovely treats for sale (due to a HUGE decluttering at flower st), and i have decided i will be leaving brisbane for more textiley horizons. there's a textile course in melbourne i fancy returning to after eating croissants in paris with my girls, photographing and dreaming of living in a houseboat in amsterdam and drinking copious amounts of milky tea with my nan. life is definately too short not to go on an adventure. nothing is set in stone but i've written to my nan to tell her to pop the kettle on..can't back out now! have a great wednesday.
the skirt and complementary mustard florals from le collection.
sorry for the non-ironed pics of this beautifully crafted skirt. look at the pleating at the back!
one of my butterscotch cuppies and floral placemats.
one of my staffordshire potteries mug and ashley g's mustard moustache.
mustard doily and more butterscotch cuppies. (pink and butterscotch are fabulous together)

The skirt looks amazing, I can not pull of yellow either, might have to try a bit of mustard! Scarlett x
You are so right about life being too short Laura. Follow your dreams and get back into that big wide world. There is so much for you to do :)

Hi Laura, how exciting...a lovely holiday to see your Nan and girlies and a move to marvelous Melbourne too. What an adventurous year you have ahead of you! I'm craving a bit of an adventure too, unfortunately too many responsibilities at the mo, but eventually...
I love both mustard skirts, mustard is one of my fave colours too, although once I painted our hallway mustard...it looked horrible and the next day it was boring old art gallery white again! x
You know how much I love mustard and this post is just making me want to search high and low for some of that adorable floral fabric! YUM!

Well, you know how I feel about mustard, and that skirt, my goodness. If you need to sell it off next year to help fund your air ticket let me know!
Very exciting about your planned travels and do tell more about this textiles course- sounds very exciting. Love all your mustardy finds by the way. I am just trying to finish painting this wretched lounge room as mustard and custard are a REALLY bad colour combination .c I'm peaches and cream with a hint of olive and there is no way I could ever pull off yellow either. Looking forward to the next rummage- much less guilt spending money on your stash knowing it is helping you visit your Nan. melx
Is that a delicious mustard yellow sheet I see... yummy.
Hi Laura..the skirt fits beautifully..it is gorgeous isn't it? sounds like lots of fun plans which is good...yay!!xoxo I had fun sunday...
How amazing is that skirt? I love living with bits and pieces of that colour scattered in the house.
Oh I love that skirt, it's something I would have picked out myself! I agree, mustard is a gorgeous colour. Your butterscotch cupcakes look utterly delectable :) Sounds like you'll have heaps of fun on your trip away- I'm sure you'll return refreshed and inspired ;)
I am really loving mustard just now too but i really can't pull it off. I will just have to buy other mustard things :)
Just needed to tell you. Your blog is so gorgeous. Beautiful photography and Im loving your discoveries. Now following along! Have a lovely week....
Just found your blog! I can look a bit washed out in yellow, but mustard is such a great colour. Love the skirt!
loving the mustard and the plans for adventure. amazing x
