doorstep deliveries


There have been some sweet little deliveries left on my doorstep over the last few weeks.  So much nicer than those rather horrid envelopes with clear windows!  These gorgeous 'somethings' came from faraway and oh so close...birthday surprises to treasure.

The scent of the daffodils was lovely...they were so tiny and yet so perfect and cheery.  They came wrapped with love from my dear, dear friend and my adorable god children - all the way from England.  Such a nice surprise just before my birthday.

And Pia's book.  Oh, how I've wanted this so!  To escape reality and wander the backstreets of Amsterdam.  Exploring, admiring and being inspired by the very talented artisans featured throughout this
pretty little book - quite the masterpiece in itself.  It arrived only two days ago and I'm still wandering through each page...To my wonderful brother and his beautiful wife - thank you!  It is certainly another treasure to add to my collection!

sometimes


...whilst wandering, on the greyest of days you come upon the prettiest and sunniest of finds.

floating


clouds floating
day dreaming
silver linings

Soft and fluffy, swirling and wispy...aren't they just magical creations - no two ever the same.  A little one off creation to add to a growing collection of Paper Boat Press loveliness.  Kylie you are so very clever - my treasures are just so special...thank you!

exploring...


Molly and I have been on some wonderful walks lately...mostly around home with a few adventures a little further afield.  It's a perfect way for both of us to get some exercise.  But for me, it's a lovely way to indulge in some day dreaming and savour the beauty that is so close to home.  On our wanderings this morning, there was another little family exploring - aren't they so sweet?

fox & hounds


A little piece of England tucked away in the Gold Coast Hinterland... and I love it!  In summer there is the wonderful beer garden; in winter the roaring fires inside...always, the reminder of many happy times shared in the pubs in England with dear friends.  And a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon with family...

How brilliant and welcoming is that yellow door?  And the telephone box?  And the old post box?  Oh, I'm back in England already...
