I think it is high time for an Autumn post! The leaves are turning and the ground is slowly becoming littered with beautiful shades of brown, orange and red. Time for me to buckle down and finish up all my current projects – so I can get going on my new ideas. And yes, here…

Time travel + zips
Thanks everybody for helping me decide on the font for Little Orchard. The final logo design will be announced in the next few weeks! Today’s Vessel Wednesday photo is of the old milk and cream bottles I happily discovered on a bit of a nostalgia trip last Saturday. They’re joined, on our kitchen table, by…

A good post day and the joy of foliage
Today my much awaited parcel from Sweden arrived, brimming with vintage table linens and an embroidered wall-hanging. The postman also delivered the SylvaC vases from the Waikato at the crack of dawn. The vases, which I’d forgotten I had bid on, were $1 for all three. Such a bargain if ever there was one!!!! They…

March 5th not 1973
34 today. These shoes, well, I should have known better. Bought: Cologne, around 1996. They’re made by Casadei. And at the time were on the back cover of Vogue Pelle. I’ve worn them twice. Once to seduce Kevin and the second time today. I am not wearing them now.

Sunday sketch day / Cheltenham
Got up at 9:30 today. Was so tired – no idea why. I was going to shoot blue slippers today, but I ran out of time because we needed to go to Ponsonby to get my birthday present. We went to il forno afterwards for chai latte and croissant – the only bakery in Auckland…
