sundays are for...

Taking drives through the countryside.
Giving way to cute pedestrians.
Seeing other families out & about.
Discovering an old workshop with a 1953 AEC bus. Definitely something up our alley & perhaps my uncle Warwick's too.
Going to a local market, eating roti & dahl, finding lots of treasures & chatting to a lovely old Austrian man who is all about cooking the perfect strudel & collecting old records.
Then coming home to a cup of tea & a couple of choc almond biscuits.
I've got some treasures to share, but I'm too pooped. I'll be sure to post them in the week.
I hope your sunday was just as lovely.

oh my...

Just look at this gorgeous vintage wallpaper! I have in my hot hands, a whole roll of it. I do have many plans for this of loveliness... but right now, I'm just sitting here admiring it.
It takes me back to my youth, when Enid Blyton took me to magical places far away. When I would lie under my doona late into the night reading with the torch on. Oh, how I loved those books.
I hope your weekend is looking bright & that it's filled with fun & laughter.

this moment...

{this moment} - A Friday ritual.

A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

my creative space...

I'm both very nervous & very excited... but I'm finally doing it!
So here I go, introducing...I've set up a big cartel shop, which I'll be adding a bunch of lovely treasures to over the next few weeks. Expect to see some 'sleepy bye bears', crocheted baby blankets, some wonderfully nostalgic birthday cards & baby mobiles too. I'll be sure to tell as soon as it happens.
Well now, I've put it out there & that's a big step on the way to making it happen. It wasn't that hard either, I don't know what I was so nervous about.
As always, there's much more creativity to soak up right over here.
