road tripping...

i have mentioned our sweet op shopping/bike riding/coffee drinking road trip before but it is coming up in a few days and i thought i would get some reccommendations from you lovely folk! we will be heading south from brisbane and have no definite plans at this stage. we will be gone for 5 days so don't want to end up too far south and driving for days on end. we want to explore, discover and relax! if you have any suggestions or reccommendations for a cafe, national park, country town, op shop, camp ground or beach that is a must visit between brisbane and coffs harbour i would love to hear it! thank-you! you guys are the best!!

for a girl who is two...

a few weeks ago my niece turned two and i decided that this would be my opportunity to venture into handmade clothing. armed with my trusty machine, a vintage sheet and pip's lovely book i managed to come up with something that has been worn several times now and is still in one piece. success? i think so!

have a look at what i made for her first birthday...

four happy things on friday...

One of my resolutions for this year was to be more intentional - with my relationships, with my time and with my focus. In an effort to continue this, I will post four photos from my week of things or moments that have made me happy. I feel like I sometimes miss out on joy just because I'm not looking. Here's to changing that!

1. flowers from a friend
2. the makings of an advent calendar (at this rate i'll be luck to have it ready before december ends! haha!)
3. the best thing my mailbox has ever seen from the most fabulous lady ever! if you are looking for something amazing and unique for christmas you should pop on over to her shop and grab a gift voucher for one of the most gorgeous dresses you will probably ever see!
4. making words while eating breakfast


Feel free to join in! Just leave a comment and I will pop over to see your happy things this friday...
