The Odd One Out

I rearranged my house (again) and filled a shopping bag with things I can't quite decide where to relocate them to - which would suggest they could probably go in the bin. Instead I shoved them under a cupboard to forget about them for a little while (which is pretty much the same thing). Look at this (stunning) bunch of roses...can you spot the odd one out?

Covers Before Contents

I absolutely do judge books by their cover. I buy novels for the image on the front. Even better if it has raised lettering, flocking or a lovely title font. I imagine I'll like what's on the inside as much I do the outside. Magazines are a different story altogether. If I'm a loyal follower, like I am to so many, I buy it no matter what the cover. But sometimes there are covers alone that can suck me in and make me add another monthly mag to my already heaving mag towers. These covers have done just that. Irresistible.

Naked Devotee

I had a little time to myself on the weekend as Mr was working on sacred Saturday and I was blissfully left to my own devices. Sitting in Piccolo after a 10.30am sleep in, I read the local papers, drank lattes and came across Naked, THE city guide for the Gold Coast.
The remainder of the afternoon was hence spent ploughing through the glitz of the GC with the guidance of Naked to discover the many cultural, arty, creative gems that unbeknownst to Mr, (creature of habit) even existed. Vintage Espresso was absolutely adorable, I am going back camera in hand to ask permission to take some pics and to do the place justice. Worth the trip alone is an afternoon sitting here. GC here I come.

Briar + Mark = A Beribboned Tree of Love

I attended this wedding created by the beautiful and talented bride and surrounded by her very generous and creative family. Never have I seen a more beautiful wedding, let alone attended one. It was an honour to be there. We found ourselves breathless at the beauty of it.

Blue Mountains on A Rainy Day

I spent the weekend in Mudgee (country NSW) a land of rolling green hills wearing uniforms of vines and trees of olives backed by rugged mountains. We finally stopped for lunch after getting lost in the rain for an hour trying to find the restaurant (which funnily enough is named Solitary) because we packed and took off without a single map or address. Plain arrogance I think it was. There we were, thinking we were going to quiet country towns and assuming the places we were headed should be obvious because, well, surely there was little else around. Wrong on the lunch front and wrong again when we tried to find the guest house. We did our research on the scene of the ceremony though because we didn't want to miss a minute - when I show you the wedding, you'll understand why.
