My strawberry plants have just come out with the first flower of the season.
Cape: Part 2
19 Dec 2013
I went to try on my cape to have the hem adjusted by Clare at Clasch Design. We also put on the buttons. I'm loving the look of it and can't wait for some better photos in New York in the winter weather.
Cape: Part 1
19 Nov 2013
I've been working with Clare Schreenan at Clasch Design on a few delicious new items for my wardrobe. It's quite different to approach a designer with exactly what you want, to imagine it, and to have them bring something from your imagination to life.
This is the first draft of a houndstooth cape we have been working on for my upcoming trip to New York.

Photo shoot with Fyxomatosis
24 Mar 2013
Doing a shoot with Andy from FYXO was fun, and a
challenge. His shoots boast “hot chicks and hot bikes” in a way that most
photographers fail to capture. His life and love of bikes is always clearly
represented in his shots by the care and taste he demonstrates when
representing both bike and rider.
A little bit of black
21 Mar 2013
I bought a faux fur stole today from Miss Behavin that I am in love with. If you are from Ballarat, find their store next to Gee Cees on Sturt.
Month of Letters: A surprise from Italy
22 Feb 2013
After our visit to Il Papiro in Melbourne, I had a timely catch up with Ryan from the Ink and Pen Postal Fellowship. His sister, recently returned from Italy, came home with the most exquisite gifts. Our conversation at Il Papiro about quill tips, including the sort of quill used to mark music staves was timely. As if we had sent her a letter advising her of our conversation, she gifted him with the below amazing collection on her return home.
Ballarat Heritage Weekend 2012 - Vintage Fashion Parade
11 Feb 2013
My gosh I am behind in my posts! I haven't even told you everything about the absolutely brilliant Heritage Weekend that we had last May and the next one is nearly upon us.
Ballarat Heritage Weekend 2012
7 Feb 2013
Heritage Weekend 2012 began with a tour of one of my favourite buildings in Ballarat. The Ballarat Mechanics Institute has recently undergone some significant restorations which included returning the old cinema to its former state as a single level theatre. All the heritage colours have been restored and the room can now be hired. The barrels above were for mixing up raffle tickets and are on display in the library.
Month of Letters - the good word
6 Feb 2013
Earlier this year I was featured on the cover of The Ballarat News with Ryan Parker for the Ink and Pen Postal Fellowship. For those of you who missed the article, here is a scanned copy.
Il Papiro - Melbourne
5 Feb 2013
The best way to start this Month of Letters is with the right equipment. That means a trip to Il Papiro...
Jubilee
28 Jan 2013
Last year, I was a little slack with my posts, so allow me to make up for it now with one of the most spiffing events of the year. My beautiful sister and all the ladies of my family are unapologetic monarchists. In line with this we had a Jubilee afternoon tea. This involved proper loose leaf tea, cakes, nice dresses and our best hair. Here are some images for you to enjoy.
Summer baby
25 Jan 2013
Just a casual picture of me on a stupidly hot day, in the pool, wearing a pair of My Sister Pat vintage swimmers and drinking a Pinacolada. This picture won me two tickets to the cinema through my local newspaper.
Masquerade
24 Jan 2013
My sister recently invited me to a masquerade ball, which was a fundraiser for one of her social groups. I, of course, said yes. Most of my reason for saying yes was motivated entirely by the desire to wear this mask that I bought in Venice.
