Moonta

The perfect weekend: an old beach shack, beautiful blue skies, ice-cream by the sea and a cheese platter that lasted well into the night. A lovely three days spent with close friends.

Kitty living room

Hi! I'm back from my 8 week European adventure! Thanks for following along, its been great sharing some special times with you. 

A belated post, it's about a lovely exhibition I participated in a few months ago. In January, Gleaners Inc. (one of my gorgeous stockists) sent out a square of fabric to a group of artists who were asked to create an art piece inspired by the fabric. I illustrated a limited edition print of a 60's inspired living room featuring a fat ginger kitty. The exhibition opened in March and was part of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Our first day in Paris

We arrived in Paris late in the evening, opened the window of our apartment and were greeted by the most amazing view.

We climbed the Eiffel Tower the following morning.


We ate baguettes for lunch on a sunny park bench and shared a giant macaroon for dessert.

And in the afternoon we got tricked by a gypsy. Somehow we ended up with a gold ring she made magically appear. We believed it to be cursed so we held hands, made a biiiig wish and threw it off a bridge.

Easter in Schonhagen

Graham and I just couldn't pass up a traditional German Easter breakfast, so after our week in Prague, we caught a train back up north to the lovely little sleepy town of Schonhagen where my Grandparents live.

German breakfasts are known for being pretty frickin amazing as is, but Easter breakfast is really something else. When else do you get the chance to eat all your favourite things in the one sitting, what a great way to start the day I say!

After breakfast, Graham and I gave into a craving we have had for a few too many weeks now by making sausage rolls. Don't judge us, you try going away for 5 weeks and not eat a sausage roll in that time! We ended the day by going to a community bonfire, we drank hot apple wine with rum and ate bratwurst. Graham was quite the involved citizen by declaring himself chief fire stoker for the evening.

Prague market goodness

Graham, just a bit excited about his hot honey wine, topped off with a bag of churros of course!
