Weekends are for celebrating!

Some days you wake up without realising the effect the day will have on you. Saturday was one of those days for me. The little photo shoot I did for the paper for our Poetic Licence event somehow made the front page, which was not only exciting and slightly bizarre for me but also wonderful for our event which, after today's rehearsals is shaping up to be an amazing evening of enchanting songs and poetry.

My piece of combined poetry and prose has finally come together and I'm really delighted and totally nervous about reading in public on the night. My dear friends Monana, Clare and I will also have a little stall filled with all of our bits and pieces and I am busily finishing and framing a number of new mixed media works which will be on sale on the night.

I'm also totally ecstatic that the beautiful local gallery 'The Art Vault' which is hosting our event will now be stocking my brooches. The Art Vault houses some of Australia's most amazing and inspiring artists and it is such a joy for be selling a range of my signature and mixed media brooches within their art filled walls. Thanks so much to Mia and Julie for supporting local artists.

So after our rehearsals this afternoon I couldn't help but go out and celebrate with a few friends and had a wonderful night listening to Triple J's hottest 100 of all time, whilst catching up, laughing and dancing the night away.

What a wonderful weekend it has been and with Poetic Licence on Tuesday night and my birthday on Thursday I couldn't of asked for a better start to the week.

Much love and poetry
