~ hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas, ours was pretty quiet - family, lots of food, a trip to the beach & just trying to survive the heat

~ we've been home about a month now - our trip was amazing, we visited Latvia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Netherlands & Scotland, took lots of photos, ate a few pastries & just generally had a good time

~ new to my playlist 1 | 2 | 3

~ I kind of fell in love with cardamon in baked good while we were in Sweden - we're still eating Christmas goodies at the moment, but I'm on the lookout for a good cardamon cake/biscuit recipe to try in the next few weeks

~ can't quite believe that it's almost 2019, but here's to a beautiful year ahead...

  ~ busy planning an amazing European adventure with my sister Amy - we're visiting Latvia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Netherlands & Scotland. We're planning on castles, fjords, amazing landscapes, beautiful cities, good food & new experiences

  ~ I've been listening to this beautiful song

  ~ recently finished reading A Treacherous Curse, the third Veronica Speedwell mystery - if you like a fun mystery/adventure with a feisty heroine, then I recommend you give this series a go

  ~ really enjoying following Kat (Gartur Stitch Farm) on her blog + instagram

{ gathered }

Looking forward to another wonderful weekend at gathered, full of locally handcrafted goodness, delicious food + drink, great entertainment & interesting workshops.

I'll be away for most of October/November, so I won't be at the usual November markets & at this stage I don't have any December ones planned. I know it's way to early to mention Christmas, but, well, there's nothing wrong with being prepared...

Gathered ~ 10am-4pm, Saturday 4th + Sunday 5th August, Queen's Theatre, Playhouse Lane

{ impressions }

Colours of Impressionism at the Art Gallery of South Australia.

These photos don't really do the exhibition justice - if you are in Adelaide before the 29th of July, I highly recommend you go see it for yourself.
