Wanderings of the lost blogger

Aka: me.

Yikes! How did we get here already? Freaking crazy times have been had and clearly, I didn't think to sit down and document any of it here. So, as per usual, I will be playing catch up again.

There was a market: A Christmas Design Mini Market that is....

A gaggle of very clever friends set up a little market in the Kuwaii store in Brunswick the other week.  There were flowers and plants, jewellery and accessories, clothing and footwear and baked goods too!

Cecilia Fox was there and Tara Shackell, Trotski & Ash and Anna Varendorff, a few more without linkies and some home made lemonade too. Yum. 

I am always amazed and encouraged by the level of creative talent housed in this average sized suburb!

Poppies

They are my favorite.*
And they look lovely winding their way out of this Nouveau vase; even if it did take 6 bunches to fill it!
Every time I see the sun cascading in on them it warms my lil heart.

Things I like doing

Crocheting and reading Rumi; obviously not at the same time, that's a bit tricky.

Wrappings

Kitsch in the Kitchen

My mum's best friend came to stay today, she brought this gorgeous tea towel with her for my Mum. It's Anthropologie, well no wonder it's beautiful! We're still deciding whether or not it's too good to use, considering turning it into a cushion cover.

I think this is a good idea

Somedays the world is just a bit big and scary and you would really rather just curl up in a quiet, cosy corner somewhere. Most times we smudge a smile onto our pale faces and step out into it anyway. But how wonderful would it be if everyone you came into contact with at these times, knew to take it easy with you today?

I think I'm going to buy some of this:

And when I'm feeling a little bit wobbly, I'll just cut off a strip & stick it to my jumper! In fact, I can think of a number of friends who might also like to use this fantastic Rob Ryan designed  tape.
