{ bloom }

recently...

...we've had a bit of a taste of summer recently, with some 30C+ days - hopefully there is a bit more mild weather to come before summer actually arrives...

...enjoyed the abundance of blossoms while they lasted - they are all gone now, but I have a folder full of photos on my hard-drive... 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ...

...there has also been plenty of other prettiness blooming in the garden recently, especially all the ranunculus...

...working on a batch of copper & bronze - rolling, shaping, sanding & polishing - mostly new earrings, for my stockist & also for all the markets we have coming up in November & December...

...been doing some plotting & planning in preparation for said markets...

...had a stall at Flinders Street Market last month & helped the Wirrabara Producers Market celebrate their 10th birthday on a sunny Sunday last weekend...

...done a little bit of baking over the last few weeks - lemon poppyseed pound cake, rhubarb & cinnamon cake & most recently butter cake, with the addition of stewed apricots & cinnamon strusel...

...we've been enjoying the huge bunch of different coloured irises that Mum got given the other day...

...& another snippet from my trip.

a few good things...

1.bringing a bit of spring inside.

2. pretty Messy Box papers (+ kiki-k glitter tape).

3. making a (small) start at sorting my desk out (I have way too much stuff).

4. lovely new stationery - one of my favourite things.

5. pretty new blooms in the garden. 

6. playing around with colourful felt & threads.

7. ranunculus in the garden - pretty at every stage of life.

...masses of blossom, multi-hued flowers & new growth, soft sunshine - spring has sprung...

spring warmth...

it's December!

already. This year seems to have gone by so fast. Nearly christmas time.

This year will be a bit different for us...we're staying home for christmas. Usually we head to Adelaide to see family, but this year we're not going down until after christmas. It'll be kind of weird, but nice I think.
