:SEA The World: Italy

SEA The World

Live Large

My heart is aching to travel again.. Aching to venture away from my small cloistered life and run free in a world of possibilities .... Aching to once again become a child of the world not bound by convention & expectation. To once again feel the power of hope and potential. Truth becomes fluid, Can't becomes Can, Hate becomes Hope and anything is possible.. All is past.. All is future... All is now... Life is waiting.

This recent mood comes from thinking about our friend Ange who is about to embark on what might be a life changing experience .. Any travel is life changing... sometimes small changes noticeable only to ourselves .. and sometimes paradigm shifts that forever change our molecular structure. When I get in these moods I go down to the sea.. and look out to the horizon and know that the world is still out there... waiting for me to jump!!

All this yearning has inspired me to play with my travel shots. Travel shots of the sea. I might make this a new series..'SEA The World', starting with Italy [of course!!! Let's hope I don't abandon it. Although who could abandon the sea?

Dedicated to Ange

Travel Safe & Live Large


And to everyone else
Have a lovely weekend

White Wednesday

.

.

Hi everyone!!! Another rainy day here in Sydney... Spring has lost it's 'sprung'... More a drizzly bipolar season nervous to make an appearance.. So to brighten things up .. I thought I'd show you a few pretties ... a little vignette of whites.. My chippy enamel coffee pot, a white gauze sachet and some white crocheted doilies [although I don't think you can see them] .. Also in the mix is a little framed silk print I recently found at goodwill ... a bargain at $2.

Another goodwill bargain was this glass vase.. At first overlooked.. but after thinking of it all night I went back the next day to rescue him... Here he is with Little Miss Lavender Sprig who should have been in my previous post .. but defiantly refused to get in the vase with her lavender cousins ..

.

Quite the Prima Donna!!!

& Lavender Lace

Once again it's time for Silver Sunday .. Time to dust off the silver and play photo-stylist with my silver goodies... Today I thought I add a little lavender.. stolen during my walks along the beachfront.. Don't tell anyone!!!!! It almost midnight here.. so no time for prose... other than a big thanks to our host Beth of Gypsy Fish Journal.

.

Take care everyone and I hope your coming week is filled with happy surprises

... and thanks for the lovely comments on my vintage inspired postcards..
