Today I'd like to be here...

It's raining in Sydney today and whilst I'm not a person who needs constant summer I would prefer my winter with snow, sun and log cabins please and thanks!
This interior would do nicely for a bit of reading or sketching..

Cloths of Heaven...

I grew up surrounded by ancient mountains, deep lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, moving its might off into forever. 
 It's a place that has inspired painters and poets, provoked passion, joy and sadness.

I now live half a world away from there but I can still close my eyes and feel the very essence of the place - for that at least I'm grateful..

I See...Bright Accessories..

The clocks have changed and we're now in Autumn here in Sydney, and though the winter greys and blacks are in stores everywhere I'm clinging on to bright colour!!

Have BIG LOVE at the moment for bright accessories - here's what's bringing a smile to my face..enjoy :-))...


This is Sam - she knows good art, is talented, colourful and is to be found at her beautiful Kaleidoscope Gallery Waterloo and her newest passion Platform 72 Oxford Street


This is Gen, a gifted artist, genius with colour and one of THE most stylish and lovely people I have the pleasure of knowing.  Gen's wearing a stunning dress from Japan, perfectly accessorised with Dinosaur Designs jewellery (and homewares.. though that bit wasn't really planned!) 


Needed a little bit of hot pink in my life today..hand died silk scarf with my treasured babyanything silver shield ring and current fave Dinosaur Designs resin bangle..(and a little yellow purse for sunshine effect ;-))

Seen in..Hosier Lane, Melbourne...

 Hosier Lane Melbourne..hardly a centimetre of wall left bare in the city centre space - took way too many photos to share here!.. so much good street art to see.. some pretty, some political, some highly suspect...but what I loved about the lane is that it has a feeling of being democratic and welcoming to all who care to spend some time and have a look...
