Recent scouts
Posted on 05 April 2015.
I’ve been rather busy with life of late. New job, new renovations in the pipeline, new vegetable garden and, well, just loving life. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about Scout & Finch. In my recent travels, I’ve been collecting a few things that I’ve scouted out and want to share with you. So here […]

Home renovations – let the fun begin!
Posted on 05 April 2015.
It’s a four-day long weekend and I’ve spent the time pottering around the house, eating many delicious goodies and going for long walks with the boys! We’ve also spent the weekend catching up with our architect and putting together solid plans for the much-talked about home renovations. I’m equally scared and excited by the prospect, […]

Hollywood glamour comes to Brisbane
Posted on 09 November 2014.
The iconic costumes of Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rodgers, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis and Marlon Brando (to name a few) will be made available to the public in a magical exhibition late November at the Museum of Brisbane. I’m beside myself. My love of old glamour and vintage combined with […]

Love your Aura!
Posted on 19 October 2014.
Founded in 2000, AURA by Tracie Ellis has always strived to create uninhibited, stylish bed linen, homewares and rugs. And for probably the same amount, I’ve had a mad crush for their beautiful items. Our house is a walking Aura catalogue. With the release of their new stock, I though now would be a great […]

Big Vintage at Salisbury
Posted on 03 October 2014.
Last December three things happened. Some big fat jolly dude who has a serious obsession with red fell down some chimney after too many egg nogs; I turned a year older and got more grey hair; and one of Brisbane’s coolest furniture stores swung open their big antique doors. Big Vintage at Salisbury. Mark it […]

SWOP at West End, Brisbane
Posted on 26 September 2014.
When I stumbled across SWOP in West End (often part of the Boundary Street Markets) I thought I had simply come across a cool vintage shop. But then I had a “wait there is more” moment that would make any telemarketer very proud. As I sifted through the racks and racks of cool items, I […]

Ideology at Banyo
Posted on 25 September 2014.
Don’t judge me. I love my dog immensely – to the point sometimes I think I’m going to hug him too tight and he’ll stop breathing – but I get a bit bored with the whole walking-him-on-a-regular-basis thing. I mean really. Walk the dog, pick up poop, and repeat – no even general chit chat. […]

Adding vintage to home decor
Posted on 21 September 2014.
It sounds nerdy, but I have been on the hunt for a cool lampshade for almost eight months. A lampshade that isn’t boring. A lampshade that isn’t just 50 shades of grey (boring!). Come on people, someone please make lampshades that aren’t so boring or cost the same amount as my first car. Anyhow, I […]
