laura

planted these bulbs the day of laura's funeral (may 13, 2009)
and here they are after a spring shower..........

weather forecast to be mid 20's this weekend - first time in a long time! looking forward to it.

opshopping / dinner party / gardening / pootling around..........

this week has been hard

work work work......and fun too!

okay so my work is seasonal. october is the pinnacle of a year's worth of work so as you can imagine things have been hectic.

postings will be few and far between for anyone who cares!

this weekend was relaxing to compensate for work chaos. pootling around in our new car, perusing nurseries, watching footy, baking and finishing off a shawl out of beautiful alpaca yarn for my omama's birthday coming up this weekend

big weekend

surprise visit from lici who has been living in alice springs for the last 2 months...

epic op shop adventures :: trash talking :: way too much food (and champagne)

and realising that each time we share another hangover, it gets nastier and lasts even longer than the last time

p.s. nina i hope our toothache has eased up!

when i was little

when i was little i used to go around the garden and collect leaves and flowers and make little floral displays in shallow dishes or little cups and then leave them with on the front doorstep for my mum to find as a surprise. i even entered some into the country agricultural show and won!

i still do the same even though i'm grown up!

pretty

found these whilst cleaning today

dolls are made from pre-hiroshima japanese textiles (all hand sewn)

saturday

::photos came too easily today with so much sunshine around::

snow peas, jasmine and rocket going crazy in the garden
