Love Libby

I stumbled upon these cute little bags this year at Floriade (our annual tulip festival). I think the name is brilliant – but that’s too obvious. You can check out Love Libby at her website. Choose your bag, then, if you can, choose your fabric the choice is so great that you will probably find [...]

Meet Team Resolution

This is Team Resolution of which my darling husband is a member. As I write they are making their way home from Jindabyne on Day 3 of the Hartley Cycle Challenge 2007. It’s an amazing feat to ride over 400km in 3 days and I’m so proud of him and his team. His training started [...]

Clever Friend #1

This lariat is the work of my dear friend Belinda (but we have another name for her), Godmother to my eldest and very clever businesswoman and jewellery designer and the brains behind Creatively Belle . When I first met her 13 years ago she was [...]

Passionfruit

They really have so many beautiful things that I will just have to add to my wish list. My husband and I joke that we keep Scandinavia is business, [...]

Flowers in the Garden

I really don’t like summer. I love the summer fruit that is now appearing in the markets – I bought my first mango of the season this week! I also put up with summer because it’s preceded by spring… ahhh beautiful spring. In Sydney the seasons just merge into a blur, but in Canberra they [...]

Old Friends

I get so sad when I think of the people I was close to and I no longer keep in touch or even know where they are. I’m very sentimental like that. Today I had a little experience in synchronicity. Lying in bed thinking of the person I miss most in Atlanta and then sitting [...]

Birds in the Garden

One of the things I love about having a native garden is the birds it attracts. This photo was taken this afternoon as we were getting ready for dinner on the balcony. The seed bell was a present from our little friend Evie. It’s taken the parrots a little while to discover it but it’s [...]
