Ahhh Dreaming of Winter...
Well, I do love a cosy cuddle-up during the cooler months, but the delicious warm sunshine and bright blue skies of Spring have definitely pushed Winter out of my mind - until the Dreaming of Winter Etsy treasury list by starhitchedwagon came along!
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 received a delightful purchase in the mail yesterday, my very first Bamboo t-shirt from The Little White T-Shirt Company ...and it is heavenly soft, comfortable and actually rather stylish! I wore mine today with a floral blazer and the Bird Pendant - great contrast and I was comfortable, win win!
It is always such a nice feeling knowing that you have purchased something "good" ...carbon neutral, 100% bamboo and from a small business of the proud owner and operator Lynette - who has a heart of gold and such great customer service!
Highly recommended.
I'll be purchasing another soon!
The lovely Madeline was last night eliminated from the Australia's Next Top Model competition.
But she went out on a bright pink, dripping-in-paint high! Just look at how amazing her photograph is! I would say, in my opinion, that would be her best shot in the competition and all the girls looked like they had such fun rolling around in a trough of pink paint... and posing with cute boys!
Big things lie ahead for this girl; her parting words were true, she was who she truly is during the competition, complete with all the little animated animal and dance moves!
Well done Mads!
Do not be fooled, I did not have a tea party for fourty-eight guests... as much fun as that would be!
Fourty-eight Tea Cup & Saucer necklaces were made yesterday.
That's a lot of little miniature tea cups!
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.
