In my element!

Just got home from a big day out in the city, first stop Glebe...

 I had the map and the addresses, but the sales were few and far between. Parking was a problem, and we walked and walked and walked! We only went to a few, and mostly clothes were selling, which my junking partner Jen was happy about!

Im not sure what I was searching for, I was hoping it would jump out at me!

The weather was perfect for the most part of the day, so we jumped back into the car for Surrey Hills. Many more visible sales within walking distance, it was great!

I bought a few things, clothes and a couple of bags, nothing outstanding. I did have a great day with a great friend on a warm Autumn day, so overall it was fun, and I hope to do it again next time this event comes around, I think in August.

It was a wonderful distraction from my 'real' life at the moment, just what I needed.

Do you ever go out junking and come home feeling like you didnt quite get your junkfix?

 I didnt even take photos as there wasnt really anything to brag about!! 

But if you feel the need to see pics, head on over to the website as they are uploading them all day.

I will be back soon, having a little break to catch up with life here, and prepare for my next sale on the 30th April...

At peace..

Remember this post back in January?

Forever remembered, and loved...my nan.

The norm...

'The norm' of day to day is near, I can feel it in my bones!!

I cant wait to get back to that place of creating , painting , restoring , and sharing....with you!

No new years resolutions here, but I have made a mental note to take each day as it comes with a grain of salt, lighten up , de-stress and simplify!

I am currently giving the website a much needed cleanup, removing and adding items, and less links...hopefully it will be up and running in the next few weeks.

 Whilst on the subject of business and all things junky, I havent decided when the studio doors will open again for the sales, but when I do you will be the first to know!

In the mean time, I continue to draw inspiration and creativity from so many of you, and look forward to 'The norm' returning very soon!

I leave with you, this image of my nan, at 90.

For the past 6 years, she has had no recollection of her life, us, and her existence...

She is living in limbo, waiting for the next stage of her life or afterlife to come.

Visiting and seeing her, puts alot of things in my life in perspective.

She is my inspiration, my reason for change and  simplicity.

I took many photos that day, I wanted to encapsulate every thought, every emotion, and expression she has had over her ninety years young!

Although she did not know us, she was happy for us to hold her hand, sing , and occasionally she spoke a few kind words.

Although she couldnt hear us,nan was watching and seemed content.I think she could feel the love, and felt safe with us.

Im so pleased I saw her again, and I treasure those moments, as they maybe the last.

Who would have thought she was once a ballerina, who performed in the Sydney Opera House!
