~the archways of the extraordinary*

walking under these archways, all the knowledge, wisdom, & acquired intrigue of the ages seems to fill the expanse of the wind & whisper what is profound if you are apt to listen! i wonder upon the unique carvings in each coat of arms, what do they mean? i would love a little booklet that tells the tales of those who made them & what i should glean from the symbols...

{a list of dainty things}


heralding a juxtaposition between creamy ceramics & dainty crochet, the heartfilled handiwork of the lovely Kylie-creator of paper boat press, & a soaring ceramic origami bird from have you met miss jones{both found at a little shop on the Hamilton wharf}
because life can be delicate & laced with fragments of beauty that seems to have drifted in from ancient parchments, or glazed with the smoothness that emerges after its placed in the kiln!
Today is a palette of inherited tranquility! & precious thoughts for all of you!!!

a collection of moments

{beauty pure & simple}





transluscent petals

to nourish...

{a recipe for daily nourishment}




everyday we have a somewhat plain vegetable stirfry with steamed pumpkin. basically grated zuchinni, carrot, beetroot, turnip, parsnip, with some choped onions or leek, thrown in with some beans or broad beans{my favourite}add some bokchoy & cauliflower or brocolli & maybe a few herbs.

the onion & white vegetables go in first with a drizzle of olive oil, stiring until opaque, then add the leafy greens, stiring until limp, then the rest of the veges. once everything has been cooked for a good 5 minutes, add a cup of water & let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or so...

tender intention

the tabula rasa{blank slate} on which we stand, fervently, tenderly, as a new year descends! i see the dance of the doves{& send a warm Thanks to my new friend!} & hear the rustle of decision as the pages turn & the shadow makes the picture more luminous...gentle impulse, search onward, breath upward & forage through the hopes of the heart!!!

where Hope resides!

Opening doorways & peering through windows, slender opportunity & fragile necessity, scooping up tulips the colour of fairy kisses, & whispering words of wonder..."Peace, peace, Be Still", Hoping, always always for sunny days & warm hearts,

this is one of the places where Hope Resides!! sending hope & loveliness!!!

Hello! & Happy New Year!!!

These past weeks have been moving house, Christmas lunch(i made the place mats out of wrapping paper & the most sparkly & sugary cup rims from this recipe), & (while the internet has been off) gathering adventures & collecting loveliness to share with you!! precious wishes for a fresh &* radiant new year!!!
