springiness

There is just so much beauty around at the moment. So many flowers and colours and shapes and gorgeousness. Especially enjoying tiny blossoms. And daisies. I feel a floral mood coming on… Time for a walk.

All the good scents are such fun, too, particularly just around cocktail time. Gin and tonics in the backyard, smelling the jasmine and queen of the night … Life is good!

good luck bags

I found this bag in an op shop recently. What’s nice about this is that I found a die in the bag. Carrying lucky die around in my bags is something I do anyway. Now I know someone else does too. Someone with the same taste in bags as me!

a colourful day

Made my way over to St Kilda the other weekend and discovered the Southside Market: a last-Saturday-of-the-month indoor event (at 88 Acland St), specialising in vintage-inspired fashion and cute stuff. Held in the grand old RSl Hall on Acland St which means beers at RSL prices. Nice. Lovely atmosphere with the glass cases full of war memorabilia providing  backdrop scenery.
