V is for…

Vo-Vo
Oooh when i was searching for a picture of an Arnott’s Iced Vo-Vo.. I came across a recipe for a home-made version! YUM! Iced Vo-Vos are good.. from the packet is just fine with me!

Verandah
We don’t have one.. but I look forward to the day when I do.. and all the things from my house spill out onto it.. and I can sip cocktails and laugh at my own jokes with my lil family! Mmm sounds like summery goodness to me!

Vintage
I’ve always loved vintage. Vintage dresses, vintage books, vintage aprons, vintage linen, vintage fabric, vintage china, vintage vintage vintage. If I had to choose between a lovely $500 NEW dress… and a lovely $5 vintage dress.. I would always choose the vintage dress. I’m a cheap date too. I’m pretty happy with a walk and a cup of coffee.. perhaps a little shopping for VINTAGE pillowcases at a church op-shop. Vintage is my life.

Very
I exaggerate. Every thing is bigger and better then it seems with me. I am trying to kerb my ridiculous enthusiasm for things such as… old pieces of paper which fall out of books (VERY exciting), shopping lists found in discarded carry baskets at the super market (VERY revealing), long lost drawings on pages of old childrens books (VERY endearing), spying on people looking at just-developed photographs (VERY compelling).. everything is VERY with me!

    Isn’t a verandah just the best thing! I’m trying to convince carpenter hubby to wrap mine right around the house but for some reason he doesn’t see the neccessity – he is just lacking romance!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE iced vovos, they will be the inspiration for Mahlie and ?’s (hopefully a girl)new bedroom! Pink and red with a sprinkling of coconut…and a bit of fluff.

    The content of this is not from Posie, but Mr Posie – who feels responbile for commenting – on a recent deployment to an undisclosed destination in the Middle East, the US Special Forces refused to go out on patrol without a packet of Iced VoVos, after being introduced to them, but their Australian allies. Talk about spreading the love of those fluffy delights. Love the Posies

    You read my mind again! I spent this morning on our VERANDAH, painting my VINTAGE linen cupboard in Dulux Iced VOVO, a VERY gorgeous pink colour!
