+ making collage cards when I should be doing uni work.


+ books lent to me by a friend and a beautiful decorated envelope he made.


+ my yard is 90% concrete and 10% garden, lots of chalking space. my cat rolled in the chalk and had colourful patterns all over his fur.


+ i was interviewed for an article about cyclists in launceston a few weeks ago and in today's paper i appeared, squinting at the sun. they misspelled my surname and spent two paragraphs on my appearance and one sentence on my cycling, but it's still fun to have been included. i am about to go to work and am worried everyone will have seen it, haha.


+ today, in my part of the world, it is adeline's birthday and she has invited everyone to dress up and attend her birthday party. adeline is a darling and i am so glad the internet led me to her. happy birthday little french lady!

I have been buying a lot of clothes lately. Something every day this week. A friend asked me a few days ago how many vintage dresses I thought I owned. Without counting, I think that figure is probably somewhere near between 40 - 50. I think that's pretty out of hand, but I feel like I have no self restraint when it comes to vintage clothes. I spent my teenage years wishing I could find clothes I liked and now I feel like I've hit the jackpot. I bought this one yesterday from the sweet ladies at Nanna's. I wish their shop was my own personal wardrobe.




+ So ladylike.

Not a very original or interesting topic for a list today, but it's late and ideas were few. I hope you had as lovely a day as I did :)


+ A new brooch I picked up at the Young & Baroque markets while in Newcastle. Día de los Muertos Barbie head love.


+ Items bought from the Apron Design Markets and Niche Markets on the weekend.

+ clip art; jsim & pugly pixel.

Today I went for a bike ride to a place called Tailrace. A few months ago I was there and I saw a seal in the river. C was with me but he didn't see it and ever since, I've been trying to spot my seal again. I didn't see him today, but I had a lovely, long ride. Here is some photographic evidence of my journey.



And my always impractical riding attire;

+ handmade woollen hat from gallery in deloraine, cardigan & dress from vintage fair, petticoat courtesy of my nanna (it is 150 years old!), shoes from my step sister, necklace & ring from the niche & apron markets yesterday.
