The Show Came to Town

 

This weekend, the A&P show was in town.

A ferris wheel, bright tents, candy floss, blue skies.

What more can a girl ask for?

Oh yes she does.

For Annabel.

May you always wish,

and believe.

~Love, Mum. x

she believed she could fly

{she believed she could fly}

There has been a lot of talk in this house about believing in your dreams.

Annabel says if you believe you can do it, you can...

you just have to picture it in your head 

and it will happen.

This photo, the latest addition to The Butterfly Series,

is for her.  

My little believer.

Oh won't you fly....

oh won't you fly, 

fly away with me, 

to where we can feel the gentle ocean breeze...

and the sun on our skin...

to where we feel alive...

Serendipity

 

I believe.

Do you?

because sometimes...

 

because sometimes...a daydream is what you need.

2012 Calendars

2012 Calendars are available now!  

I have 2 for you to choose from, the first is titled 'Whimsical Daydreams' 

featuring a collection of favourite whimsical themed photos...as pictured above.

The second is  'The Daydreamers Tea Party', 

featuring my favourites from the Polaroid Tea Cup shoot.  

This calendar is perfect for those of us who love to daydream over a cup of tea....

in a vintage cup of course...

I must admit I love them both, they are very different but both based on a dreamy whimsical theme.....

The beauty about these calendars, is they are printed on 5x7" matt photographic paper, 

so when the month is over, trim the dates off and

you have a  5x5" photo to frame, pin up on your inspiration board, your fridge...

It will arrive packaged in a divine vellum envelope, 

wrapped in brown paper, 

tied with string

decorated with a mini print 

and a lovely paper doily.

 

Go on....spoil yourself or someone you love!

Wordless {Whimsical} Wednesday

 

 

Playing along with my lovely friend Sarah 

over at Faith Hope and a whole lotta Love today, 

for Wordless {Whimsical} Wednesday

3am whispers

I have so much to catch up on with blogging, so much I want to share here in my journey about the exhibition in Napier, the Craft 2.0 market and general goings-on.  But catch up posts can wait.  I had to put everything aside today to create this new photo, with words whispered to me at 3am this morning as I tip-toed out of Annabel's room....

i love you to the moon & stars & fairies & flowers...

& back....

whimsical walls....

 

 I have made the hot air balloon series into photo blocks.  The kids love them, so I think they will be going up in their room.  They are all listed on Etsy, and a couple are on Felt, the rest will be added over the next few days.

Happy sunny Monday. 

I do love waking to a brilliant blue sky and warm sunshine
after days and days of grey and rain...
long may it last!

It's out!

After a few last minute changes, the desk calendar is here! I love it. But then I guess I am a little biased. ;) I am really into everything vintage and whimsical, everything that evokes a feeling of nostalgia, and this is what I have tried to incorporate for 2010's calendar.

They are available in both my Etsy and madeit shops, and I will have them at the Sisters' and Yarraville markets in Nov and Dec.

I am a little scared at how quickly this year is going, and can't quite believe it is calendar time again. But that means summer and endless months of blur sky are nearly here, so it's all good!

A Sneak Peek

I am a lucky girl.....this weekend I will be spending Saturday AND Sunday at the lovely Yarraville Market. I am so looking forward to having a table there both days, Lou is so passionate about her market and the local talent, as a result there is such a great vibe in the Hall. If you are in the area, I would love to see you!

I am also a very excited girl, as I am just putting the finishing touches on my 2010 calendar ~ here is a sneak peek at a few of the pages. It will be printed on a thick card stock, and presented in a jewel calendar case, like last years. I have gone for a whimsical theme this year - I was going to do a beach and blue sky theme, but decided I like the photos with the text as they help encourage me to get lost in the daydream.

And you all know I love to get lost in a daydream........
