    Oh I love those little Gum Nut Babies. When I was little I thought they were real and always looked for them in the gum trees. If only ... xoxo

    Millie,
    I somehow missed these little cuties when I was young...or I'm just so old that I don't remember them.

    Happy Friday!

    Oh these are too cute! I always loved the 'big,bad,Banksia Man'! I'm new to blogging but have been a terrible lurker for a couple of years and always look forward to your posts. I too have a 70's/80's style house with exposed brick and far too much stained pine panelling. I've loved watching what you've done to your place and get a lot of inspiration from your pics. Tell Moth he's doing a great job ;-)

    Very pretty posting Millie, but I think you've left us europeans perplexed. I'm off to take a crash course in gum nutters!

    Millie, Those Baby Gum Nuts are precious. Reminds me of my childhood. I had these CHILDCRAFT books. To this tay I have never found any books as magical.
    I think there were 12 books.
    It transported me to beautiful places.

    Hi Mill's,
    I've never seen or heard of a Gum Nut Baby. They are obviously an Aussie thing as we don't have Gum Tree's here in the U.K. so, they wouldn't have anywhere to live !!
    I think that I would have loved them as a child. They look so cute and cuddly. Were they all good or was there a BAD Gum Nut baby ?...and, were some of them naughty ? I'd like to think that there were some naughty things going on !!!! XXXX

    I love those blossoms!
    Have a great weekend.
