autumn is here

  

finally :) and today is my mothers birthday so we have a lovely dinner tonight.

I hope everyone is having a lovely start to the weekend. I have three days off (it is Adelaide Cup day on Monday - horse racing) so am planning on getting crafty and finishing off my pages for the 'iheart' project hosted by THE DRIFTER and the GYPSY and editing some more photos.

cute ideas for old jars ^.^

this cute little article was in the latest issue of frankie that I picked up a few weeks ago and I just couldn't resist sharing it with you all. I'm going to give the 'inside garden' jar a go with one of the old jars I found in the abandoned garden shed next door. I would love to see what anyone out there does with their jars so if you give it a go too make sure you post your blog link for me to see<3

vintage photo vault

My gramps is quite sick at the moment so we were looking for some old photos of him to put together in an album and I came across this cutesie photo of my mother ^.^ It was taken in 1983 (about 4 years before I was born). She'd just bought that gorgeous jumper on the day which is quite similar to a few i've grabbed from thrift stores lately. I thought it was too beautiful not to share and think Thursday's will be my new 'photo vault' day.

*Happy Thursday Everyone*

you've got to want to be a star

Just wanted to share some of my recent favourites from over on DeviantART ^.^

There is a whole world out there that seems to capture my heart daily when it comes to photography. These amazing talents are just divine...

the sprout and the bean

For those who have not heard her yet, you MUST check out Joanna Newsom!!

I've just purchased her new album 'have one on me' from itunes after tuning in on her beautiful sound throughout the day on triple j continuously for the last few months.

I seriously start to wonder why something so amazing was held from me for so long and I think of all the times when I could have listened to her music. 

here's her beuatiful video for 'sprout and the bean' ^.^

SERIOUS MUST HAVE for me right now but I am having trouble finding a good pair in any of the retails stores (even considering how popular they are at the moment). I can't say I've ever loved a type of shoe as much as I LOVE the look of these. The styles are endless, the two-tones amazing and there are so many variations. 

Here's some of my favourites currently listed over at etsy...

 

  

 

 

This is the type of shoe (obviously one in every colour ^.^) that you could wear with ANYTHING... 

repeat after me: i am free

i LOVE when the new FRANKIE is released as it gives me plently to blog about and share with the rest of you!!

One thing I've had a bit of an obsession with lately is brooches, and to tell you the truth I do not own one. Yes, sad isn't it. The more I become interested in fashion the more I notice the little things that dress the outfits up to make them unique. I've been hunting around for somewhere that has something to catch my eye and heart and I'm certain that KISSYFACE by RikkiB has what it takes to do that. 

Her personalised brooch collection includes some of the great scientific names (my favourite in the store - Carl Sagan). You can also find an assortment of brooches/rings/earings/necklaces staring various icons, animals, films and the opportunity to submit a custom order.

Take a peek inside her etsy store here.
