Freesias

I rescued a big pot from hard rubbish and discovered when I tipped it into my potting mix that the dry old soil was full of bulbs. They have since come up in so many pots and I have been waiting very patiently wondering what they would be. Well, spring is here and now my yard is full of pretty freesias. LUCKY!

In the cottage...

So I finally had a little time to take photos of my brooches in the cottage. I was shopgirl for a day. I also had time to take pictures of trodden magnolia petals. And dream of owning one gold leather pouffe and one patchwork tapestry pouffe for my sun room one day.



And despite canceling a BBQ due to gale force winds and storms, today, again it seems like it's almost spring, blossom.

Things...

Things making me happy...

Susan Jacobs at Utopian Slumps. Ubiquitous Slopes. I loved this, it also wins some prize for best Slumps title so far.
I liked West Space. Natalie Ryan's white noise, Belle Bassin's drawing and Rob McLeish's diving board.
Furniture stacking at Studio 18 at Gertrude, I can't seem to find the artist's name on the website, But I loved her work.

Warm nights, magnolias, the smell of jasmine and spring blossoms walking home through the park at night.

All you people I keep running into. It's nice to see you.
I'm going to Sydney this afternoon but maybe see you soon.

hello frühling, ja liebe, it's SPRING!

It's the first day of real warmth, in t-shirts, eating ice cream, sitting around, and drinking beer in the sunshine type weather... Everybody's happier, it's in the air.

The windows are open and there's music in the courtyard and I'm really really happy about a European summer...
