my posts have been sparse lately, but my family has been very busy moving house (which took a VERY long time...), i've been finishing uni and then got sick, and life has just been crazy in general...again. now that it is holidays, however, i endeavour to make a serious effort in blogging, including giving Under The Olive Tree a bit of a facelift! i have been working on its new look which will be revealed at a later date. tomorrow i head to summer camp for a week. more soon when i return!

these are a few of my favourite things...

our pantry jars, London lounge room clock, goodies from mum's sewing room, interior design books, vintage band-aid tins, my brother's collection of vintage tin toys, my sister's toy singer sewing machine, and her bedspread.

this is it; this is my bedroom. i love it.

i also know that i'm immensely blessed that everything in it is still dry and intact. 

it's been a while.
