Of Poetry and Magic..

And so I spent a day unlike any other, listening to some of Australia's most celebrated and inspiring poets and authors in the most intimate of settings as a part of the Writers' Festival. Writers like Peter Steele, Alexis Wright, Sophie Cunningham and Robert Gray, read their work and spoke about about their worlds and influences. I am left a sense of adventure and excitement, totally drawn into their every word, fascinated how just one stanza can say so much.

So I take a moment to catch my breath, giddy with beautiful poetry and prose as I get ready for the festivities this evening of the wonderful Festival dinner, which I am sure will be filled with wonderful food from Stefano's and fascinating conversation.

I will be back tomorrow with a Sunday Shopping List as well as my adventures at Rose Harvest. I have been planning a trip to my favourite antiques shop for many weeks and I'm delighted that I will be finally going tomorrow and can't wait to see what treasures lie waiting for me to discover. I hope your weekend has been filled with beauty and wonderful conversation.

Much love and writing dreams
