10 things that make Anna Spiro happy:

 

who:  Anna Spiro

where: Brisbane, Australia

what: author of the gorgeous blog absolutely beautiful things, owner & decorator divine behind the shop/interior design firm Black + Spiro.

 

1 – My Family – My husband Brad, Our son Harry, Our Golden Retriever puppy Ned & our Maltese Terrier Charlie and also my parent’s and my brothers too.  They all make me happy.  My family is everything.
 
2 – The long hot bath I have every single night after I have finished my work, cooked dinner and put our son to bed.
 
3 – Walking on the beach in front of our house at Stradbroke Island with our golden retriever Ned on a Sunday morning and then going for a long swim in the ocean with Ned in tow.
 
4 – Getting my takeaway coffee from Jamie's every morning after I drop Harry at school on my way to work.
 
5 – Going on holidays with my boys to Hawaii…..we absolutely LOVE Hawaii!


 
6 – Sleeping in on a Saturday morning.
 
7 – Beautiful Fabrics – I mostly love bright printed patterned linens...they are my favourite!!
 
8 – Fresh pink flowers arranged in blue and white ginger jars.
 
9 – Nina Campbell pink candles.  They smell divine and I love the pink glass jar they come in.
 
10 – When my shop {Black & Spiro} is looking beautiful and is full of lovely customers.

 

 

*and I just discovered the Anna and her husband share the same wedding anniversary as Sean & I.  Yesterday was a sweet day for us all!  Congrats to Anna & Brad!
