So, I might have bought a new bag 😊 It’s been a rough few weeks. I needed a little retail therapy. Plus, my favourite handbag, that I’ve had since 2010, was destroyed by mould in my leaking apartment. These are my reasons. But really, I just wanted it. So I got it. Perfect opportunity for…

Edit: actually this is a 10 minute shoot! I got carried away. I might have had a sip before I started! Yesterday, June 9, was World Gin Day! I also discovered that it was World Rosé Day, so I decided to buy some Pink Gin. I made a delicious cocktail (recipe below) and went on…

Somehow, my desk at work has become the repository for chocolate. I was given a special block as a little gift for some work that I did, and my team ate the whole thing one day while I was in a meeting. They felt so guilty about it that they bring me a new (not…

Remember the Mother’s Day cookie? Well of course I had to get a whole lot of shots with it. It was so cute. I love the pink marble effect in the icing. At the end of the post, I’ve included some shots with my Traveler’s Notebook journal as well. I still haven’t eaten it, I…

Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the other mamas out there. I picked up this gorgeous cookie on Friday and have been saving it for a pretty little Mother’s Day shoot. These were all shot in five minutes, but yes I cheated a little and took the cookie off the plate. Second set…

For those of you who don’t know, I have a mild (not mild) addiction to stationery, which I blog about elsewhere. My favourite brand is kikki.K and I post lots of photos of their products (and others) on my other Instagram account (@desleyjane_plans). They recently contacted me to ask me to join them on a…

I love flatlay photography – it’s my favourite type of product photography. I love pottering around the house, looking for objects that work perfectly together in the shot. This pink shoot had been percolating around in my head for a while. I started this morning, by stopping off at my local bakery on the way…

Following on from a previous post, I also just happened to have a pink cupcake in my possession, so I decided to photograph it alongside my pink peony. The whorls of the frosting look a bit like a flower to me. I love the colour, and oh yes it was delicious! x desleyjane

Happy New Year! I took these photos of a very pretty pink peony late last year. It was while my Mum was still staying with me after surgery. My friend Tess (who also takes care of Gidget for me when I travel) visited and gave me a little bunch of peonies – she remembered that…

Last week’s RegularRandom featured a pink posey of rosebuds sent to me by my dear friend Lucile. When I did that shoot, I also shot a morning tea setup for me and my mum and I wanted to share that with you here. I found the colours so vibrant and beautiful. It’s been 18 days…

On Friday morning, I stubbornly pulled out my camera to take some photos of this gorgeous pink posey, sent to me by the lovely Lucile, all the way from Amsterdam to Melbourne (courtesy of FlowersAcrossMelbourne which is also FlowersAcrossAustralia). It’s my first time holding the camera since surgery 10 days prior. It wasn’t easy, but I…

My local grocery store, just a tiny independent one, sometimes has the most gorgeous flowers and they are very inexpensive. Here is some time I a spent with a tulip and a gold tray – much more than five minutes, hence I couldn’t make it a RegularRandom post! I have shared some of these on…
