A nautical quest to Paris...

I decided this morning whilst walking to work that I would like to just pop over to Paris for the day, just for a little visit, to wander down Rue St. Andre des Arts to explore this wonderful little silver shop I found when I was last there. You see I'm on a little quest and it all started with this image..

I just adore this gorgeous anchor charm and I've been looking everywhere to find one similar. So far I haven't found anything quite as beautiful. There must be something very special about this anchor because last night I dreamt that I found the lovely charm, in my favourite silver shop on the Left Bank. So now I'll I have to do is jump in my little time machine and wing my way to Paris.

Oh how I do love to daydream.. If you happen to see a lovely little anchor on your travels I would love to know.

Much Love and Happy Wednesday

Lovely Things List...

It has indeed been a very busy week in my little nook... with my students completing exams, essays to mark, reports to write, brooches to make and having just made quick trip over the weekend to Brisbane to visit my beautiful family and spend some very precious time with my grandparents, this last seven days have been quite a whirl wind. Now I'm back and barely unpacked and I'm already searching for extra hours in the day for the little things. This afternoon on my walk home from work in 41 degree heat, I began to think about ways I could catch an extra moment in the day, to do something special just for me.. So I made a little list of lovely things to do and I've made a wee promise to myself to spend half and hour doing one of these activities each day..

Right now it's a tough choice between reading a book and taking a little nap before cooking dinner. I'm thinking if I begin reading and then fall asleep, I've enjoyed two lovely things in one day.. Perfect! Wishing you a lovely Wednesday full of lovely things!

Much Love
