I love stars! I really do, especially when they’re red. What’s at the top of a Christmas tree – a star of course. I grew up in the country in a town devoid of city lights and one of our favourite pastimes was to lie in the garden on a moonless night and look and [...]
Despite being raised and educated in land lock locations I really like to think of myself as a seafarer. My maternal Grandfather ran away to sea from the UK and ended up in Australia as signal master for Macquarie Lighthouse – Australia’s first lighthouse. My favourite uncle was in the merchant navy and could tie [...]
I love Etsy treasuries but this is the first one I have made. Inspired by summer I thought I’d put some imagery to how it makes me feel and so my Summer in Australia treasury was born. Of course I had to include a kangaroo but more so because I have been to Pebbly Beach [...]
Well friends, I present my last happy colour post. I have really enjoyed putting these together but I’ve decided not to continue with them in 2011. It’s very fitting then that my last post is what has become my signature colour… lime green. I hope you enjoy my finds today: TOP: Paper Moth – Not [...]
I love brown! Love it love it! I wear it and choose it when the opportunity arises. I love that it’s rich and tactile and I’m pretty sure my choices today echo that. Here’s what I found: TOP: Sage and Mage – Mocha Cardamom Body Sand. My first reaction was that I wanted to plunge [...]
Hey friends, I’m back. Please excuse my absence but it was beyond my control. We had no internet connection for almost 4 days. Too many phone calls later we are finally back online. So here I am in time for a happy colour post for a colour that is not technically a colour… you get [...]
Tan is such a weird colour that I don’t devote much thought to – to be honest. Having said that there were so many great ‘tan’ choices out there on Etsy. Here’s what I found: TOP: Integrity Studio – Last Year’s Lace Fine Art Photograph. This store has an amazingly varied range of photos. I’m [...]
I didn’t hold out much hope for light yellow. It’s a colour I associate with the impending births of babies of indeterminate sex. I suppose I was expecting (pardon the pun) a whole lot of booties and blankets. As it turns out my choices were a little more eclectic than that. Here’s what I found: [...]
I have a very strong attachment to cornflower blue. I do love cornflowers but this colour always makes me think of my Mum. This is the colour of her eyes and she wears it so well. I’m very fond of my choices today, here’s what I found: TOP: By Sweet Mum – Chunky Poncho and [...]
Did you know that an etsy search for silver returns 800,000+ results? Does that overwhelm you like it does me? Can you believe I narrowed it down to three? I just knew that silver would yield some beautiful results and I didn’t wade my way through all the results but here are three that I [...]
