Beautiful yellow photos on flickr.

Hello 2008

I have rebooted my computer, wiped everything, and now am in the process of reloading all my rss feeds. Slowly, one by one, I am enjoying rediscovering my favourite places. Always surprising how beautiful other peoples houses are, how interesting daily rituals are from the other side of the world, and always nourishing to remember how poetic some people are. Life in my little enclave is not that interesting or creative at the moment. .

Hanging in my loungeroom…

Magazines

I thought I would share some fabulous images from my stack of 1950’s Home Beautiful magazines.

I have had a mixed bag of a week. Good things include recieving a copy of ‘Have Wheels, will go’ in the mail, finding the perfect sized basket for a particular purpose, and spending an afternoon under a tree with a good friend.

Making things.

becomes this ..

Together with these..

For this.

Today as part of my wandering I bought a lovely zine by Pip Stafford.

Evening

Some photos from a warm evening and a lovely family dinner.

Workroom..

Best not to look at the floor..

Favourite things…

The mobile in my study holds many of my favourite pieces of paper. These include, a gocco print, old collaborative artworks and postcards from my last overseas adventure.

Everything

Everything in my lounge room is interesting and worth documenting when I really should be doing my tax.

Beautiful paper to buy if shipping wasn’t so expensive.

Beautiful books to buy for christmas.
