Wandering On Elsewhere - Bye For Now (but you can visit me here...)

This blog began as a journal of my time spent living & studying overseas on exchange, and then turned into a kind of living shrine for all the memories I had made in Europe.

Now, having been back for a little over a year & bogged down in my final semester of uni, 
I feel that this blog has served it's purpose. 

For now anyway, until the next big journey (hopefully coming soon, early next year).

While I will still occasionally post here,
I invite you to visit me on my artist's tumblr 
as I post and find my way through my 
Textile Art undergrad degree 
& all that comes after for my artsy career,
or my personal tumblr
where I still remain as lost & wandering as ever, 
dreaming of all the places I want to escape to
& the clothing I would wear.

Links to my other sites can be found in the right hand column for all my techno-challenged friends & family :)

So for now, it is not farewell,
but hopefully see you soon...

Saturdays.

Saturdays on bed rest are

catching up with Russh, dad's weathered & worn levis,

trawling through research books,

all the while surrounded by beautiful get well blooms

(if only scent could travel through lap top screens).

A dose.

One of the best things about being ordered a dose of bed rest is being sent beautiful well wishes, especially those of the living floral kind. 

Thank you cousin & who ever else for the mysterious bunch.

Balmoral.

Balmoral 2013.

Sea, salt, sand.

Mum's 80's worn and torn denim cut offs,

a man's shirt discovered in the local Vinnies on the last visit.

Beautiful things.

1//2//3//4 Some beautiful things at Balmain Markets

//5 & Adrian Zumbo macaroons (while in the area why not?)

Raspberry/Salted Butter Popcorn/and something like Pancakes with Maple Syrup.

Happy Birthday KK.

Photos one to four// KK by me.

Photos five to seven// me by KK.

Celebrate a best mates birthday in her typical style.

Think midnight backstreet photo whoring,

gold sequin skirts with a cut Adidas tee,

necklace upon necklace upon necklace 

plus some arm armor

and a bindi.

I'm in an outfit mainly made from inherited goods & preworns.

Skirt by me from an aunt's left over lace from her ballet costume design days, a ring passed along by another aunt,

leather clutch inherited from my nan, op shop find shoes, 

& Zara top (with an awesome open back! shame it can't be seen in these pics - next time!)

All after an awesome dinner at Essenza.

Happy birthday KK, to one of my nearest and dearest.

Restlessness.

Beautiful vintage lace and pleated shirt found at the markets summers ago, smoothie making with mates on a Sunday arvo, 

a postcard from a friend,

flowers in my sisters room. 

Quiet

 Lunch at my grandmothers. Grace's cauliflower and spice soup. Susie's flowers. Draped fishtail skirts. Pixie boots. Big heels. Maastricht flea market cup and saucer. Postcards. A photo from when I was young. The Blue House.

A Hummy Sort of Day

A hummy sort of day begins with a joint effort on pancakes and blueberries and homemade blueberry syrup and honeyed bananas and strawberries and cream. One sister manning the stove and the other manning the pancake mix.
