beau & trouble
December 10, 2009
it was a great day for mail today! the brooch i ordered weeks ago at finders keepers arrived today and it’s nicer than i could have imagined! beau & trouble are a duo of brisbane artists making limited edition handmade jewellery. it’s nice to know how lovely both janice & natalie are and how much care and love they put into each piece.
i also was given the lovely wrap you can see in the picture above. a family friend has just returned from 3 weeks at a buddhist monastery in tibet and she brought back this lovely handloomed wrap. i really love this colour combination and i’ve been told that these wraps are super warm. looking forward to using this during our very brief, blink and you’ll miss it, winter.
day dreams
December 7, 2009
the busier it gets this time of year, the more i find myself day dreaming of deck chairs and good books, endless cups of teas and quiet from the christmas noise (carols! sales! traffic! stress!)
i miss having stewie around. apart from being a super cool cat, i realise now that he forced us to relax more often when he’d wander up and randomly settle in on our lap (or chest or shoulder…) and demand that we just sit and focus on the task at hand (which usually was patting him) while he got busy with the purring. i hope that he’s around somewhere doing important de-stressing work with some other lucky family and that his time with us simply had to end.
miss you buddy.
why do you cock your head to the side when you look at me?

tomorrow night i’m heading into west end to see sia perform!
how nice is this photograph of her by kasia werstak? i love how the darkness is beginning to creep in from behind her…
i rarely see other people with my name in australia.
p.s. hellooo summer!
