Thank you to everyone who entered. Your lovely comments even rivaled the beautiful spring weather here. I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you all.. Just not enough time in the day.. [and an internet that has a mind of it's own]. Hopefully I will catch up with you all this week..

For anyone just tuning in.. Julie's French Inspired Linen Cushion Covers can be found in her Etsy.. Chic Little Shop .. pop over and see what lucky Meredith has won herself.

Apologies for the delay in bringing you the giveaway winner.. My internet is once again 'Inter..Not'... If it get's it's act together I'll be putting up my Silver Sunday post... but for now;

Down By The Seaside

.

.

It's been a while since I posted a Tuesday Travel Post . .. Well this is not one either! ... Unless a five minute journey can be considered travel.. Then we are on the money!!

.

.

A five minute journey.. across vast lands, treacherous roads, and a couple of roundabouts and we find ourselves at the seaside. For those of you not living in Sydney.. this could be a travel post .. right? Travel by proxy... as that would be Sydney skyline in the background folks. I know, I could have made it clearer.. but then it wouldn't be mysterious.

... Ok darn you.. Here's a close up!...

Spring Is On My Doorstep

Bye Bye Winter

.

.

Hello Spring

.

.

.

.

... You are finally here my friend...

.

.

Not just a favourite season.. but also a frame of mind..The flowers know it is spring....everywhere I look spring is blossoming out all over... and with that comes the feeling of excitement and renewal ... new growth... new adventures... new hope... ... a clean slate!!! and the world coming alive with colour!! ... Even the weather has changed on cue!! Longer days & warm breezes heralding springtime....I've gone to sleep in winter.. and woken with the spring!!!

.

.

Time to spread my wings and dream a little dream. To make like a butterfly and flit from flower to flower... to swim in the salty goodness of the sea and cleanse my body and spirit... to be a wild thing.... and run bare footed in the fields... To dream a little dream.....

.

.

... Thank you spring.. You have come back into my life ...

.

To all my readers in these great southern lands

.

.

Happy Spring!

Spring Has Stage Fright

.

.

THE DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES: It seems spring its a little shy... September 1 she burst onto the stage, adorned with blossoms and sunshine.. Her opening number of warm breezes and bird song was a huge success... The crowds cheered and adored her with a standing ovation, thrilled to witness this long awaited spectacle.. And then.... as the sun set on the first performance, she hid under the protective cloak of mother winter... Seems stage fright had set in.. The bright spotlight sun had dazzled and confused her.. Spring is missing and hasn't returned for her second act.. I'm sure she'll be back... Sure it was just first day jitters... So my post today is for you dear Spring.. Sweet child of the seasons... Don't be afraid.. we loved you from our first sighting and know you will be a tremendous success.... Come back little spring.. your faithful bird friends and loving audience await you!!!
