the prettiest of pinks


My little camellia shrub, 'star above', is quite the little favourite of mine.  It was the first plant that went into my garden and was in memory of my darling mother.  It is soft and delicate and the prettiest of pretty...much like my mother, my star above.

It is awash with these beautiful flowers right now...so welcome in these winter months.  This tiny little critter obviously thought it was the perfect place to catch some sun too...

finders keepers


The Old Museum Building is just the perfect place for the wonderful Finders Keepers Markets...the beautiful old building compliments the lovely creations displayed within so charmingly.

I wandered, and marveled, and wandered some more at all the creativity surrounding me.  There were so many beautiful stalls, so much inspiration...and so many people.  I wanted to capture the Postal Society's post box, vintage stamps and beautifully hand written postcards from a bygone era.  To capture the spirit of friendship between Kylie and Sarah and their little 'wait' collaboration.  To share the charm of letterpress loveliness by Bespoke Press.  And right next to that little post box...loose.leaf paper and oldyarns.

But there were so many people and I didn't want to get in the way of someone taking it all in...so here's just a few photographs of this glorious old building and the delights within and some of the sweet purchases that came home with me.
