Day Thirty One - To Oz..

This afternoon I just felt like taking a little trip down the Yellow Brick Road...

'To Oz..'

Well here ends the wonderful photo a day in August, what a wonderful way to celebrate all the lovely moments of the month. Thank you so much to Megan from The Byron Life for creating this fabulous challenge. I have enjoyed many delightful afternoon adventures in my backyard and visited some wonderful far away places.

Who is coming up with the next challenge? I've crocheted granny squares in May (and I'm still going) and taken photos in August, what will September bring?

Hope you are having enjoying a lovely start to the week. I best click my heels three times and head back from Oz, to begin cooking dinner.

Much love and Ruby Slippers

I heart my bath and bed..

I am back from the wilderness and as always enjoyed an wonderful adventure. I shared some very beautiful moments of the past two days, a starry night and beautiful sun rise and kayaking down the Murray River with a gorgeous black swan and her cygnets in toe.

After a 13km walk and 23km kayak, I must say though, I am very happy to be home and couldn't wait to walk in the door to enjoy some delightful treats I often take for granted..

A cozy bed with warm blankets

and a hot bath with lots of bubbles...

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday! I wonder what you are up to? I'm enjoying a lovely morning catching up on blogs and magazines. Perhaps a little trip to town later to potter around a few op shops and find something lovely for dinner. A lovely lazy Saturday indeed.

Much love and daydreams

Into the wilderness...

Tonight I'm packing my back pack and I'm off on a little journey for a few days. This time last year I set off on my first Outdoor Ed Expedition with work and just had a wonderful time. I just had to put my hand up again this year for the two day trip that sees our little group walk 15kms, camp the night and then spend the following day canoeing down the Murray River. I'm really looking forward to wandering through the wilderness and enjoying the beauty of the river, although I wish my camping set up looked a little more like this.

Wishing you a delightful midweek, see you on Friday!

Day Twenty-five- My favourite corner..

In a lovely little house, in a tiny little room, second on the right, just as you walk in the door you will find my favourite corner. The first place I search each time I go out to Rose Harvest. Under a beautiful little Singer sewing table packed all in a row, an ever changing collection of books with delightful tales to tell.

'My favourite corner'

I hope you have enjoyed a lovely Tuesday. I'm off to dream about tea parties on the ceiling whist I work on some new pieces for my little Etsy shop.

Much love

All in a delightful Weekend..

As the sun fades on a beautiful Sunday, I finally have a moment to stop, catch my breath and reflect on a wonderful few days.

Saturday saw me on a bus at 5:30am on my way to Bendigo with thirteen very excited and nervous students, headed for the Tournament of Minds regional finals. My fabulous friend Jade was there with me to keep the kids pumped and hold my hand through the nervous wait for the teams to begin. The whole day was just wonderful and I am so proud of both the teams performances and we had a very exciting phone call on the way home to let us know that one of the teams had won and was off to the state finals! Moments like Saturday make me just realise how much I adore teaching.

So as the sun rose this morning, after a lovely sleep-in I spent the day chasing beauty with my hubby, visiting all my favourite places.

First stop was Rose Harvest to potter around and search for some sweet treasures. It was lovely to catch up with the gorgeous owner Sue and take some photos of her amazing shop.

'Little Birds'

'Roses and Tea'

'Moments of Spring'

And of course a trip to Rose Harvest would not be complete without just a few little purchases, which included some very sweet vintage books and an new addition to my typewriter collection...

An amazing Olympia 1953 SG-1. Although it needs some TLC, I'm just totally smitten with this fascinating industry style typewriter.

After Rose Harvest we went for a wander around the Botanical Gardens. Although we were a little early for the blossoming roses we did stumble across the beautiful beginnings of Spring including some beautiful native plants.

'Butterfly Songs'

After this day full of delights, I'm off to enjoy a relaxing evening with my hubby, with some yummy Mexican food, a glass of wine and a little bit of Australian Idol. I hope you have had a wonderful and inspiring weekend too.

Much love and moments of Spring
