silhouette of the soul

i recently saw a painting by Hadley Hutton which inspired me...


to create a decorated silhouette


of charcoal & watercolour combined on peach paper


Today is a pure palate of white splendour!

*the pinkest of days*

what a lovely saturday my Mum, youngest sister & i had as we wandered around Queen Street mall. {i love that people always think Mum & i are sisters :) "No thats my oldest & my youngest & i have 3 more in between"}


ending up in this quintessentially pink shop


filled with the elegance of afternoon tea{we ended up having raspberry & pear loaf from a cafe nearby, & though the rasperry cheesecake & tirimasu seemed to sing to me, i had to banish that melody :) }


& the smiles of children


{or squeals of delight}


{...or the more heartfelt admiration}


adoring these


& loving these.


there is pink for the big girls


& shoes full of love


i was definately looking at these through rose coloured glasses


oh & crocheted scarves!


its not pink but, well...it sparkled at me!!!

Hope today this sparkles for you too!

a pocket painting

crisp white cotton


a border full of ruffles


tiny details


intertwined.


soft simplicity


to hold delight...


Today i am finally finished the second pocket canvas{not perfectly but with a great measure of love}
may your day be full of joy too...

white bows


a room full of light


showing love as the pearl


& luminous


flight...


a symphony of birthday wishes


wished upon a star


Today is pink lovehearts & white sprinkles, skipping lightheartedly & hope-ing indefinately...

Pink Saturday!

a magazine that literally made me turn my head as i was leaving borders {though i didnt buy it only basked in its beauty for a minute}


a heart of love overseeing the occurences


Today is a day for dancing! Happy Pink Saturday!
