the SUDD OFF plug...

So... a talented friend of mine based in Melbourne has set up this fantastic website www.suddoff.com

Check out the wide range of natural bath soaps and body products that are unique, original and handmade.

I know I'm going to buying heaps of goodies for my family for Christmas...

the Plush leather modular...

Our latest purchase, our new leather modular! We love it!

It's from Plush Sofas, design is called "Melbourne", colour is a dark chocolate "Norway Bean", and the configuration is slightly different to this image, as we're having a 7 seater, plus ottoman. VERY VERY happy! So very comfortable.

We changed our minds over the "York" modular at Havey Norman and it didn't come in full leather (it was fabric and vinyl) and we're really sick of fabric as we're forever cleaning cat and dog fur.
