FFF LOVES… Anna’s innate knack of combining vintage with modern and her utter passion for anything truly beautiful.

What are your staples?
We seem to have lots of boxes of cereal! My seven year old loves cereal for breakfast so our pantry is always filled with an array of cereals for him to select from. We also seem to have lots of packets of noodles — great for those crazy nights when my husband and I get home from work and are too exhausted to even think about cooking dinner!

What are your indulgences?
Lollies! I love chicos. However, we can’t keep them in our pantry as I would just eat them all day long!

What can’t you live without?
Chicos!

What is past its use-by-date?
Lots of things. I am so disorganised when it comes to food in the house. My mother is an amazing cook. Every time she comes to our house and looks in our pantry she just shakes her head! I wish I had her passion for cooking!

What is your pantry craving?
Our pantry is definitely craving ORGANISATION! I would love to have some of those gorgeous organised vintage-looking bottles which we could put our sugar, flour, coffee, biscuits, cereal, pasta etc in. I just can’t seem to find the time to get to the pantry to get it sorted!!
