hello friends!
sorry for my absence lately.
my life has been insanely busy with work, work and more work.
glad to have finished the first draft of a huge project so i can get a bit of balance back into my life.
so thanks to the fortune cookie (left over from a networking event) with a timely message.

before work consumed my life this last few weeks, I got to spend time with my darling brother who was in the state for a little visit.
we finally opened a bottle of (rather expensive) wine we bought years ago.
so wonderful to catch up in person again.
love that kid!

enjoying beautiful yellow flowers that brightened my apartment for over three weeks.
that's value for money.

love my new instax mini and washi tape display.
washi tape is my new favourite for everything.

...and finally, there is nothing like a cup of herbal tea at bedtime.

have a wonderful weekend all.

i want to ride my bicycle

hooray for my new bike!

(about time).

a bit of an impulse buy last saturday.

now i can ride to work, ride to the markets on the weekend, and explore this wonderful city more.

it's all happily shiny and new at my front door, waiting to go for a spin... if it would stop raining on the first day i get a chance to ride it.

outdoor loving

it feels wonderful to have a hint of warmer weather in the air!

dreaming of summer time and outdoor living again.

anatomy of a perfect lunch

one of the perks of working in northbridge is the great food choices at lunch.

i'm letting you in on a big secret here... 

the best "sandwich" i've ever had is from the italian grocer the re store.

full of fresh goodness you choose yourself.

(they always freshly shave my prosciutto for me too!)

mouthwatering goodness for less than 10 bucks.

get there perth people!

random collection

monday always turns into a haphazard day for me.
so just a little random assortment of what i'm liking right now:

old minis: forever classic // any and all aesop products // unexpected details: floral lined envelopes // fun design: a rocket espresso cup // forgotten instax mini pics i found cleaning up.

seriously monday, you're never going to be my favourite.
bring on tuesday.
tuesday is generally a pretty good day.

etsy find: grace design

i love beautiful craftsmanship combined with wonderful prints and design.

a bit of sunshine

my bedroom seems to be slowly filling up with bright pops of yellow.

such a happy colour to wake up to.

and it makes my winter a little brighter.
