1 & 2 :: date night with my man. we ate takeaway curry by the river and then went for a walk along the south wall. this is only the 3rd time we’ve had a date night in 6 years. (hopefully we’ll make it more of a priority in our lives)

3 :: school holidays = many hours up trees. there is now a new bamboo bird house and ladder at the macadamia tree

4 :: miss s and her friend at the weaving workshop run by ellie and jo

5 :: the finished weavings. so in love

6 :: miss s had been planning a puppet show for almost 2 weeks. i loved listening to the waffling conversation that happened between 2 of the main characters

happy new week

bright white and yellow

 

white and wood

 

this week my mr and i began researching paint and materials to begin some small scale renovations later in the year. we were excited to find an amazing resource in ‘painted earth‘; a small business selling a large range of non-toxic, environmentally responsible house paints and wood finishes…. i am now dreaming and planning…

this week i am loving fresh bright whites and glorious pops of sunshine yellow. white subway tiles and no (or low) voc {volitile organic compounds} paint.

also loving natural fibers, wooden utensils and celebrating the little things.

over at poppytalk there was an open invitation to join along in “things i love thursdays”, a weekly feature showcasing the things we love.

well… right now i am loving the free downloadable print from caravan shoppe. you can find it here.  i am also loving the light and faded colour in the summer 13 luckyboysunday campaign. the images from this danish label are simply divine.

i love love love magazines and hot drinks; and messy hair. my hair is almost always thrown up into an unbrushed bun. i love the idea of accepting and embracing my messy do.

i’m loving the simplicity of all these images.

what are you loving this week?
