paper daisies

Pretty paper flowers from Upon A Fold. I love them grouped together... hanging on the wall in a frame would be nice...

where the wild things are

The current issue of Australian Country Style magazine features a beautiful wildflower farm on the NSW Central Coast (hooray for The Coast!). The colours are amazing, especially the gum blossoms en masse. We have such beautiful and unique native flowers, I'm glad they are increasing in popularity.

last day of summer

Today is the last day of summer. I love the summer, so it's a little bit sad. Hopefully the weather stays hot for a fair while longer though...

feeling inspired...

... by the work of Sydney-based illustrator Kareena Zerefos. The first pic with the 
ice-cream & caravan really says 'Australian summer' to me...

Happy Weekend

I have so many lovely new things to post but no time this morning- sorry! You will have to wait until sunday evening I'm afraid... I'm about to head up the coast the my parents for the weekend to enjoy the beach and the lovely sunny weather. Need to get in a much beach-time as I can before the weather cools down. For now here's a lovely pic from Simple Blueprint via The Style Files. Yes, it's true, I am obsessed with tables in fields under trees...

Purple Reign

The current issue of Marie Claire magazine (Australia), features a fabulous fashion shoot by Corrie Bond. Check out the purple! Grafton is famous for it Jacaranda trees that actually bloom in Spring (so this shoot was obviously produced a little while ago). Love the styling too.

Thanks to Olive and Joy and Corrie's Agent for the pics

Have a wonderful week!
