recently...
...it has been raining & pouring, filling up the rainwater tanks, watering the garden - not to mention encouraging the weeds to grow...
...and of course, rain means droplets...
...the cold mornings mean wearing lots of layers once I convince myself to go out for a walk. I do enjoy myself once I'm out there & also, coming home to warm up by the fire...
...we are going to be attending the Wirrabara Producer's Market every month, with jewellery, crochet, felt, all sorts of good things. June's market was their 100th...
...I've been doing some sketching...
...my new photo-taking spot is working well - I just have to get going & edit the photos now...
...baked the chocolate version of the magic custard cake. Although I somehow managed to end up with a two-toned, coffee custard & chocolate cake, cake. I guess I'm just going to have to make it again sometime & see how it turns out...
...I read & absolutely loved The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord, a beautiful, beautiful story...
...and two faces of the sunrise - vivid & pale gold.

lovely links...
Even wetter & colder than my last links post, we have had a very wintry, rainy start to winter. Thankfully it didn't rain on market day, so we're doing our best to enjoy it...
Very much enjoying Rosa's 100 days of Summer - this, this & this, with many more to come (she's only up to day twenty-two & I had trouble only picking three).
There are so many wonderful places - visiting Seattle looks like fun (especially Pike Place Market), hiking in Arkansas, or walking around Gothenburg.
Some beautifully foggy photographs 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
A beautiful Scottish wedding (check out the bride's shoes), a lovely Melbourne wedding & an atmospheric Lake District wedding.
We're focusing on eating extra healthy for the next three weeks at least, so some (reasonably) healthy recipes that look interesting: Vanilla Chia Pudding, Winter Greens + Crispy Quiona Salad, Lazy Girl's Zucchini Pasta, Chewy Granola Bars.
& the lovely Kellie from 74 Lime Lane featured my jewellery over on her blog.

a day at the market | june
We were at the Wirrabara Producer's Market again on Sunday. As well as celebrating their 100th market, they were also celebrating winning 'Excellence in Flinders Ranges & Outback Food and Beverage Tourism' at the Flinders Ranges & Outback Tourism Awards the night before. Although it seems like we've been visiting the market forever, it also seems incredible that it has been going for eight years.
Although is was cold, it wasn't quite as freezing as I feared it would be & we had plenty of hot drinks to keep us warm. I do hope someone has the pizza oven going next month...
We took beaded jewellery, polymer brooches, felt clips & brooches, crochet berets, clips, brooches & rings, zentangle cards & hand-stamped calico bags. We've also been having fun coming up with ideas, so we should have some new things ready for next month :)
