The Ladybird

...can you remember a time when the most magical thing was finding a ladybird?

the sun

...and just like that, the sun came out,

and we basked in the rays all day.....

i had a dream last night...

I had a dream last night

I dreamt that I was swimming

And the stars up above

Directionless and drifting

Somewhere in the dark

Were the sirens and the thunder

Time Love...

It's only a change of time...

I was thirsty so I drank
And though it was salt water
There was something 'bout the way
It tasted so familiar...

~Lyrics Josh Ritter(Time Love)

The Letter Writer

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to Herman.  

I don't know Herman's story, but he looks like he was a traveller, like he has seen the world, and if he could, he'd tell a great story.  

He looks as if he were a letter writer.  

I like to imagine that Herman wrote love letters to a very lucky lady.

The world is waiting...

...and the world is your oyster.

The Storyteller

 Meet Olive.
Olive is my Granny's typewriter - a vintage Italian Olivetti Lettera. 
My Granny is 92.  She still uses her typewriter to write her letters.
Olive is more than 50 years old.
Actually, you've already met Olive - in my last post.
I have borrowed Olive for my next series - The Storyteller....
based around Polaroid, vintage typewriters and daydreams.
I have another typewriter to introduce to you soon....

My daydreams....

Something has happened since we left Melbourne and are settling into our kiwi life.  My daydreams, which I thought were big and huge and in the distant future, have gotten even bigger.....oh my you cannot imagine what I am dreaming of.......it fills me with wonderment, excitement, butterflies...and a little bit of fear...but I know the only thing that will keep these daydreams as just that - dreams, will be my own self doubt...so I am pushing the doubt away, and dreaming....dreaming......dreaming.....oh my am I daydreaming.....
