borneo aglow


a little corner of the world that holds memories 
of treasured moments
of carefree and idyllic days...
of the happiest of times

I spent a large part of my childhood growing up in Brunei, Borneo...and it was magical.  When I came across Philippa's gorgeous vintage map lamps I was smitten and wondered if one of Borneo was even a slight possibility.  It was!  On days like today, with the rain outside, it casts the warmest of glows about my little creative space.  Perhaps the glow is in part due to the memories I hold and in part due to the delicate nature of the 1904 map so lovingly given new life by Philippa.  Regardless, I adore it.

You may remember when it arrived...

dew drops


glistening in the early morning light
such quiet beauty

a spoon full of sugar...



helps the medicine go down.

After a rather rough start to the week which saw me bed-ridden for three days, the weekend has been the perfect tonic indeed. There were wonderful celebrations with friends, fabulous times (there is really only one word to describe Mary Poppins... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!), a little creativity and quiet times at home...quite possibly the perfect weekend.
