a bit of our garden...on film...

some almost-springtime backyard nature-y goodness....on film!

these were all taken with Dziadziu's old Canon TLb camera (as were these, from back in January). Getting a little better with the focus (I think) but still working on the settings...

We are also waiting (im)patiently for our first Rolleicord photos to arrive, along with a roll of black & white (taken with the old film EOS).
The local place couldn't process those, so we took them to a place in Adelaide (not bad - a 6hr round trip to process film - although we didn't go specifically for that), but they only do the b&w on Wednesdays, so they're posting it back to us.

'cos cute puppy-dogs are always a good thing...

a bit random today....just wanted to pop in & say hi, but my brain is too full of comparing hotels to think of a proper post. So I thought I'd update the pooch's blog & share a bit of cuteness here too.

Hope you've been getting & enjoying the spring like weather we've been having lately - I'm just hoping this doesn't mean that september will be freezing.

ahhh, hotel? you ask (I know you haven't, but lets pretend) - I'm off to Melbourne in October for a lecture, two day workshop & a few days holiday & trying to find a nice, not too expensive place to stay has been giving me a headache - any recommendations?

Just thought I'd add a little colour with a mosaic of some beaded jewellery I've made recently...

I won't have computer access this weekend, so I'll catch up on monday or tuesday. Hope you all have a fun weekend.

oh, & this is my 200th post on the blog, go me :)

Ellaina Boutique

My gorgeous new top from Ellaina Boutique arrived this week (& Kathryn - who bought a dress - & I mucked about & got Amy to take our photo). I have admired Sue's clothes for ages & after we bought Kathryn a top for her birthday, I was super happy to get this gorgeous top.

I am sure our collection of clothes from ellaina boutique will grow, considering how lovely the pieces we have are. It will just be a matter of what to get first...here are a few of my faves...

citron...

new: fine silver with a touch of yellow, citron...
