to market to market

Eep I am getting a little excited for my stall at the North Melbourne Market this weekend! If you're in the area, pop on down and say hello! I'll be selling lots of pretty dresses, tops and skirts; as well as heaps of cute badges and hair accessories!

Oh Linda

One of my favourite ways to waste time is by gazing away at pretty pictures of pretty ladies from yesteryear. I’m currently a little bit in love with the late sixties Linda Ronstadt. I love how she was always getting around in bare feet and how she wore the same dress at The Bitter End, and then again on the Johnny Cash Show a year later. Rumour has it that she turned up to play the show sans underwear, but June Carter wouldn’t let her go onstage until someone went and bought her some undergarments. Tooo funny.

hey there four eyes

So last week my fears were confirmed: I am as blind as a bat. Well, not really, but I do need glasses! And not just reading glasses; all the time glasses! Here’s what I have learned about glasses:

1 - you actually need to wear glasses
Well duh of course you do. But then you have to choose your glasses. My initial browsing told me that all glasses are designed for either a. bank managers, or b. black-clad fellows who shop at Alphaville and hang about inner-city suburbs. Of course, I decided to go with the latter, as well, it’s better than the alternative. I soon realised, however, that no matter what glasses I get, I will look like a librarian... could be worse.

2 - I can seeeee
ohmygosh I can seeeee! I never even realised that I couldn’t see before. I just thought it was normal. I put my headaches down to an iron deficiency I was too scared to address and left it at that. Now I’m wandering about the place saying things like “ooh what a nice TV we have” and “oh gosh my windscreen IS dirty”.

So the moral of the story is, get yo’ eyes tested!

oh my gosh i love spring + bicycles

Yesterday was the perfect, lovely, sunny spring day. In fact, it was too perfect to not spend it ridin’ about on a bicycle. So that’s just what we did!





















Just being a pro at the velodrome.











and yay for the prettiest Spring days ending in the prettiest sunsets!

sick sick sick

It seems that all my bragging about excellent vegan immune systems has caught up with me. Today I found myself cooped up inside with a big ol'cold. Not good. I soon decided, however, that being sick really isn't that bad at all when you get to spend the day:

reading reading reading


hanging out in bed with lil Flinnette


taking a bubble bath!


watching a DVD or two


painting a picture of my fave boy


and watching it rain rain rain


In fact, I wish I was sick every day!

spidey spidey

Eeep what a cutie!

Fourteeeeen

Happy Birthday Siena! I can't believe my lil sisty is 14 already! I made a big ol' vegan chocolate berry cake to celebrate. So good! I might pop the recipe up tomorrow.
