we are...

we are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. as often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

carson mccullers
 issey miyake, 1995 by sarah moon.

we are...

we are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. life is eternal. we have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. this is a precious moment. it is a little parenthesis in eternity.

paulo coelho

it is...

… it is unbearably painful

for the soul to love silently

your soul is all that you possess.

 take it in hand and make something of it!

melbourne

a little late...

just before christmas i went to melbourne with my two little ones for a break. (i know a little late, but this post has somehow been lost). i spend some wonderful time with my dear friend dayle (greenbeenfood). dayle works for brasserie bread in south melbourne, they do free bread making classes for the little ones on saturdays, lots of fun. thank you lovely for all the amazing things you did for us, i miss you lots. we did so much walking, i am still tired off it... and i am still laughing and smiling at the fun times we had with my gorgeous friend brett, we met many years ago in london. 

love london

 

 

i want to live, work, dance, play, drink and eat in this great apartment in london. i would swap- any day, any time to live in london again... my stomping ground for many years.

shoot factory, great houses and apartments to see. 

scout & catalogue

i’m really loving this spring 2012 lookbook of scout & catalogue.

they are heavily influenced by the bohemian beach culture of mexico- and strive to make pieces that remind you of afternoons at secret beaches, sun kissed skin, and all day siestas. my kind afternoons...

it was one of those rare smiles...

he smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. it was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. it faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favour. it understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself.

hope is the thing with feathers

that perches in the soul,

and sings without words,

and never stops at all...

can you hear it now?

the sound of my smile breaking

and lighting me up.

close your eyes and listen to the music, it's hauntingly beautiful...

i can listen to it over and over again.

i haven't seen it yet- have you, what do you think?
