a wee bit chirpy

I also found these sweet little vases on Reverie Daydream... wouldn't they make a chirpy little addition to my new home? To perch upon the kitchen windowsill, the bookshelf and a table or two.

Tweet, tweet! Tweetitly, tweetitly-deet!

dream a little dream

Have a look at the beautiful stationery and designs at this online boutique. Found whilst perusing the rockstar diaries, I couldn't help but stay a while. The Travel Journal is something to be desired, truly - just imagine the memories you could place on those pages... I can almost smell the leather and paper now.

tick tock

Only four more sleeps until I move into my new abode in the lovely riverside suburb of Hamilton... can't wait to decorate, go for walks along the river, entertain friends and curl up with a good book and nice cup of tea.
Just look at my city view!

o-check. it. out.

At the recent Semi-Permanent conference in Brisbane, I came across some of the sweetest and old style charming journals from o-check graphics... inspired by such items that practically begged to jump in my bag and be whisked away into my creative realm, I feel I must share these precious pages with the rest of the art world.

good morning

I awoke to a phone call from my lovely Wendy in the UK this morning and so my day has begun ever so nicely! Missing her so much... and trust me my love - you will find the answers you need.
For now, have breakfast with me. An irresistible cup of piping hot English Breakfast tea and a delicious bowl of porridge with golden syrup, to warm your heart by the fire... or heater as it is just now. It's so chilly here, even the rabbit has his winter woolies on!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

dream a little dream

I awoke to a dream evoking suppressed emotions yesterday morning, and so, the rest of my day was affected by this. I have been having the most bazaar dreams of late and simply couldn't resist the purchase of this dream diary, to further analyse my subconscious!
Purchased from my beloved little hometown bookshop, The Dust Jacket, I felt somewhat at ease after discovering the supposed meanings of my dream. For fun, or serious - check it out!

Also, don't miss the opportunity to visit The Dust Jacket in person, or online at http://www.thedustjacket.com.au/

I dream of owning a shop like this one day... with a design studio and a café too. Ah.

can't seem to let it go

I wrote a poem late one night in the January just gone. The lines were simply rolling out of my head, and I was jotting them down as quick as possible... to the point I thought, once finished, it will make no sense. But to my delight it did! The poem resonates with feelings I experienced then, however I still feel a great connection to the words now. Can't seem to let it go.

Read on.



Turbulent paint

Flow with it down the river
We'll scoop it
To savour this time
And it's reflection
Your face I'll see in it
White & light blue
And iridescent turquoise
Captures my heart
My eyes don't want to leave it
Rolling on
I feel myself sailing out to sea
Sail away with me?
United solitude
A quest of two hearts
To be together
To know one another in
Absolute entirety
Sun soaked intimacy
Seduced by the isolation
Escape from the world that
Tends to taint love
Here we will paint
To two content souls
To ebb and flow
To become the turbulence
Passion and excitement as
Our world is enriched with colour
