Exploring Brisbane – Brisbane Open House 2015
Posted on 27 October 2015.
Ever wondered what lies behind some of Brisbane’s iconic buildings? Are you like me and always drive or walk past these magnificent places and think I wonder what that looks like inside? It’s for these very reasons I dragged a good friend Rae along to this year’s Brisbane Open House. This is a free event […]

Sunday Social: A vintage gem at Winn Lane
Posted on 27 September 2015.
In our house Sundays are truly as easy as a Sunday morning. Given our unusual work schedules, we try to reserve the day for relaxing, catching up and basically doing our best impersonations of lizards who graze all day. Just bliss. While the word Sunday can strike fear in many with its close proximity to […]

Exploring my ‘hood: The many walks around Brisbane
Posted on 31 May 2015.
We have lived in Brisbane for just over three years now. I made a pact with myself when we first moved here that I would commit to exploring new neighbourhoods outside my usual haunts. Like all of my best laid plans that lasted for, say, six months. So when our anniversary of living in BrisVegas kicked over – […]

You are overdue a visit to the library!
Posted on 23 May 2015.
I have extremely fond memories of visiting libraries. From flirting with the cool dude at the school library to spending weeks-upon-weeks looking up old newspaper stories on the library’s digital files while researching for a book, to now joining my local library today. Today, I proudly dragged the Pom into the local library for three […]

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 […]

The soul of Seoul
Posted on 22 February 2015.
We always like to break up our trips back to England with a short stopover in Asia – both to help us break up the boring flights, and also as a “free” way to see another country we might not otherwise get to visit. Last year, the place of choice was Seoul in South Korea, […]

Columbia Road – East London. Enough said.
Posted on 14 December 2014.
I don’t know what it is but I’m obsessed with East London. And, no, it hasn’t got anything to do with the TV show Eastenders, which to the amazement of my Pommie husband I’ve never watched. Yeah, you can all have your fancy Notting Hill, your posh Knightsbridge or even up-and-coming Fulham or Putney, I’ve […]

Putting the Yo’ in Banyo
Posted on 23 November 2014.
The saying keeping it in the family, couldn’t be more spot on with what’s going on in the Yo’ (Banyo for those who aren’t hip and cool enough) at the moment. First we had the new decor and gift shop Ideology open up (thank goodness!) and now we have a wonderful deli, cafe, restaurant, cooking […]

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 […]

Paddington Antique Centre
Posted on 21 June 2014.
I know this place isn’t new. I know everyone has written about this place, visited it, bought things from here, taken their mums here … yadda yadda yadda. But I haven’t, so it’s new to me, and that’s what this whole blog is all about – places that I’m discovering for the first time. This […]
