I think these are quite possibly my favourite books. Amazing photos, inspirational words, lovely textures and, quite coincidentally, all by talented Australian women.
Sadly I was unable to meet
Pia in person at her
book signing whilst she was spending the summer in Sydney...so disappointing for me. Her take on life and adventures are wonderful - I'm constantly in awe. Her book,
'Paris: Made by Hand' makes me want to wander through Paris once more, this time exploring the '
real' Paris and not just it's more famous icons. It is with great anticipation I await the release of
Pia's latest publications, 'Amsterdam: Made by Hand' and 'My Heart Wanders'.
However, I'm most excited about meeting the lovely and talented Kylie once more - her latest book of sweet poems,
'a once courageous heart' is to be launched on 05 March and I'm hoping to attend this special event. I do so love
'count me the stars'.
I know my little collection above will increase ever so soon and for that I can hardly wait!
Bunny was my mother's most precious possession - she was her confidante, her comfort and her most treasured friend as a young girl at boarding school in Kenya. Many, many miles away from her beloved parents and only six, bunny comforted her when she was homesick, gave her the most lovely hugs, often wiping away tears and listened to her school yard tales. Sewn with love by her mother, Bunny and her babies were always there.

The first few days of this week it rained. A lot. The most we've had in one day in over 100 years. Even Molly's (not-so) secret hideaways in the garden were soggy and so she became my little black shadow. Yesterday however, the sun was shining once more, the grass was freshly mowed and we could roll around and play. And watch bugs...
Isn't this the loveliest of brooches? So simple in form yet so very stylish - a pop of colour on a black blazer or a crisp white shirt. And the bangles...well I just couldn't resist! I visited Elk and made some birthday purchases for friends and family in the next coming months - so many nice things. If only I could share them all but it would ruin the surprises! It was the sweet little birdie that I feel in love with...perhaps because I'm working on a little bird note card for my range.
Berries, to me, mean summer. Hot balmy evenings and lovely fresh fruit salads...so delish! Strawberries are one of my favourites, although they will never quite top a plate of fresh raspberries! Sadly it's too warm here for raspberries but I've found quite the perfect spot for strawberry plants in my garden...now I just need them to fruit all at once...not one at a time!
