Tangerine Trees and Marmalade skies...

Here in Melbourne we sweltered through an extremely hot weekend, but thankfully a welcome cool change came through in the afternoon, turning the sky the most amazing colour...
















The smell of the rain enticed me out into the garden....I love the smell of the earth after the rain....there was indeed magic in the air....

As I strolled down the garden path, I came upon a wonderful sight...a fairy ring on the grass...with a magical chalice inside. Hmmmm....I wonder if I should take a sip? As you know, in all good fairytales, something magical always happens when you take a sip....oh, I'm becoming very small!














Look there! Two of the most beautiful fairies in the land! (Thanks Georgia and Abby, he he)...They called me over, and asked if I would like to accompany them to afternoon tea in the garden...of course, I said yes! (The dishes can wait...)












They summoned the Fairy Queen to give me a ride on her beautiful peacock, and off we flew in the direction of Fairyland....

The moon last night was so magical, that I knew today would be full of suprises...I woke to the trees whispering their secrets to one another, so I quickly got out of bed and ventured outside...to my great delight, I happened upon a little girl, reading beneath a tree..."What are you reading?" I asked her. "Why, it's my favourite story, 'Alice in Wonderland', she replied....that's when things became quite mysterious. We held hands, and began a most wonderful adventure....

Sunny Saturday







Thankyou so much for your warm welcome...it is so hot in Melbourne today. My friends are coming over for a bbq dinner by the pool...I have made a chocolate cake and am just about to prepare a salad...Abby made me a lovely foot bath today with rose petals from the garden...mmm. I think I will make a cocktail to have before dinner...

A little glimpse...







peek into my home...

Hello!

Well, hello there...I've finally gone and done it! A round of applause please...after much procrastination, and blog envy, I have decided to embark upon my own blog journey (ta daaaaa). I have found so much inspiration out there in blogland, that I feel it is high time I got off my backside, well, not really, cos I'm sitting down (tee hee), and create my own. I am hoping it will be the little shove I need to begin creating again...so, here goes (thanks Jo, for giving me the courage to begin x)
