Vegetable Garden: Autumn/Winter 21′

June 24, 2021 ·

Looking back at last years vegetable garden; I can’t believe I was actually proud of it. I made so many mistakes! And grew such sickly plants…So this time around I was determined to learn from my errors. Probably the biggest mistake I made last year was buying cheap crappy soil from Bunnings. Instead of ordering…

Amber Light

June 11, 2021 ·

When I sat down to edit these photos…my first thought was; why is my hair red? It seems that the orange leaves on this tree created a natural red hued filter and changed my hair colour. Not that I’m complaining, I just find it amusing! And now I know how it would look if I…

Grey Victory Suit

May 27, 2021 ·

This month every attempt at taking photos has been disasterous. So when I looked through this set and saw that the majority of them came out over exposed…it was scrap the whole set or whack on a black and white old timey filter. So no, none of this was done to be artistic. If you’re…

Autumn 2021

April 30, 2021 ·

I bought this hat a few years ago with the intention of repairing it. It had a birdcage veil on the front which was shattered, so one of those pieces the vintage community refers to as a wounded bird. The original owner also owned this hat, and I purchased both at the same time. Without…

Russian Red

April 14, 2021 ·

I spent the entire month of March complaining about the non stop showers. But much to my relief when all of the rain did finally stop, wild flowers had sprung up along the walking trail near my house. Which is why I found it absoloutely necessary to humiliate myself in front of all the Saturday…

The Pastel Shore

February 17, 2021 ·

I’ve wanted a playsuit like this for a really long time! There’s so many vintage photos from the 1940s of playsuits like this, they really are a must have wardrobe item. So I was thrilled when The Seamstress of Bloomsbury added the Emma Playsuit to their SS20 collection. I’m hoping that more of this style…

Pastoral Prints

January 27, 2021 ·

Waking up early in the morning may be painful, but definitely worth it. A hot summer day here often starts with a beautiful misty morning and gentle golden light. I’ve been going for a lot of country walks lately and enjoying meeting all of the animals, both wild and domestic. The curious cows in the…

Thirties Seersucker

January 18, 2021 ·

While I should be starting the first post of 2021 with photos taken this month, I’ve still got a few photo sets taken in late 2020 to get through. Just as well, with the unpredictable start this year has started off with. Life in between lockdowns has been all about savoring any opportunity to get…

Merry Alpacas

December 15, 2020 ·

After calling these animals llamas this entire time, I’ve now been told that they are actually alpacas…Or aren’t they? Honestly I struggle to tell the difference, to me both of these look like the same animal…especially if their woolly coats have been cut, the way these ones were. But I’ve come to the conclusion that…

Purple Pansies

December 1, 2020 ·

Well, November sure was a huge month. I packed up my life for the last three years, renovated a unit and moved back home to Brisbane. If I had to choose between moving house again and having wisdom teeth pulled, well obviously I would pick the teeth. Every time. Because moving house is every bit…
