my family are starting to talk about our beach holiday again. I love this time of year. Its summer in Sydney, its sweltering hot and we all complain about it, but then the afternoon brings in a cool breeze and life is bliss. I'm generally a winter person, but nothing beats this.
And then we wait for April, where the temperature is cooler, but the ocean is still nice and warm from Tootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14040902278993805089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426824466756710708.post-22465626421217791532014-01-19T10:45:00.001-11:002014-01-19T10:45:43.148-11:00Follow my blog with BloglovinTootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14040902278993805089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426824466756710708.post-39927262901663848442014-01-19T10:41:00.000-11:002014-01-19T10:41:18.380-11:00my blogs changing URL >> please, switch over following to this URL:

About a year ago I went with the exploding trend of

women's brunch event, though they were flung in my
cupboard after and unloved since.
And as pretty much nothing is happening with my Etsy

Via my family, I have come to love Georg Jensen. And the couple of
times they brought me into the store I particularly loved looking at the
daisy collection that they've had since the 40's. And also the uber shiny
