The relationship between nature and visual pattern/print making has been one that I have been focusing on lately.
I have absorbed myself in the way in which everything print related, comes about from being inspired by something a little more "down to earth" or with its roots literally stemming from the soil.
In the next release of That Vintage goodness - you'll find oodles of prints and patterns - plus a nod to the Art Deco era within a range of pendants... I'd share more details, but I really want to leave a hint of surprise for you all!
And the winner of the "naming of the earrings" giveaway yesterday was Angela from Yes, Dear blog - she came up with "Valentine Vine" - perfect!
It is true about what they say when it comes to the weather in Tasmania and in particular Launceston.
Jacket on, jacket off, jacket on, jacket off.
Today I had to run a few errands in town but I also stopped off in the beautiful Princess Square park to soak up the fresh air and sit in peace for a moment or two.
Walking to the park, there was warmth from the sunshine and beads of sweat were starting to form on my skin, but once I sat down and started to take in the surrounds, the moody grey clouds closed in and all of a sudden, this day of Spring had morphed into a day reminiscent of Autumn.
I spent this morning out in the sunshine in our garden with a cup of green tea and my kitty Blossom in tow - she now follows me around like a dog, it's amusing but oh-so cute.
The warmth from the sun on your skin instantly makes you feel positive; our garden was glowing this morning so I felt inspired to take some photos and spend sometime observing.
Our Australian native plants are starting to bloom with their intricate flowers, the blossom blooms on the Golden Elm tree are starting to wither as the buds of the new leaves start to evolve and my all time favourite Silver Birch trees are now thickening up with lush green leaves and their whispy pods that as a child, I remember picking and rubbing them between my fingers to let loose all their little poddy-goodness.
Oh nature and Spring, you are such a delight.
