far away


i want to be back in the uk, where i felt normal.
i love the air, the smell, the sun, the breeze, the life.
the cobblestones, the chipped wood, the nature, the old trees.


i want to trawl through carboots, visit old antique stores in
quiet towns along the coast. I want to find secret stores in the 
back streets of edinburgh, with amazing things.


and i want to meet a nice boy from the country side.
not like the aussie countryside, with rm williams and stubbies,
one who will walk through fields with me, who can play the 
guitar while i try to play along. One who is extremely handsome, 
sweet and stong, and will come with me when
i stroll to pick wildflowers and berries.

do you think i could pick up my family, pets,
friends and attachments and shift them all over? for free?
i dont think its going to happen.
 but a girl can dream. 
its so hard! being over there felt so natural, and sometimes,
here doesnt. but what can you do.

where do you feel drawn to? where would your perfect
home be, if you could take your loved ones too?

photos here and here

oh nice!


well i definitely just fell in love with this wonderful work.
and this is only a teensy tiny bit of her interior decorating. 
she does absolutely amazing things.
have a look for yourself here:

what do you think?

my garden is looking lovely at the moment.
sorry the photos are a little blurry! 

sweet placings.


such a beautiful bridal shower.
i think mine would be similar to this. with flowers and sweet placings. 
but maybe some more earthy natural colours with wildflowers.


just some typical spring photos for you! 
i took these in tanunda, south australia. 
im so excited though the blossoms in my backyard are starting
to appear. so pretty :)

have a lovely day everyone. xx
