A nostalgic Breakfast

When I was a teenage misfit in my beachy-country-westie hometown, I got really into Cold Chisel in a big way. (Okay, so maybe not such a misfit after all.) Their music grabbed me at sixteen and it's still grabbing me today.

I think when I was a squeaky-clean youngster it was all about the promise of a life that seemed so grown-up and a bit grubby. It appealed to my Vader Side - that reckless, wandering side of me that has always been there and would later be brightened occasionally by hard drink and loud music and late, late nights.

These days it's just that I know their music so well that I think I'm in the band.

What music makes you nostalgic for your youth?

I love the Tolix chair! How stylish did it look in yesterday's post, Craft room ideas? I would love one for my craft room in a silver steel or duck egg blue which I think would look great with my 1930's polished steel filing cabinet.

The Tolix Chair is a French café chair designed in 1934 by Xavier Pauchard. A visionary and inventive entrepreneur, Xavier was a pioneer of galvanisation in France and manufactured sheet metal domestic items. In 1927 he registered the trademark Tolix and started to manufacture chiars, stools and metal funiture.

The Tolix chair is well renowned for being rustproof, robust and stackable. As such, in the forties it was found inside factories, offices and hospitals and outside in cafés and parks. Now an icon of industrial aesthetics, it has earned itself a spot in Vitra Design Museum, MOMA and the Pompidou Center.

Have a sweet day!

autumn escape . . . part two (the chicken coop)

the more time we spent by the chicken coop ... the more i want one ...

so much to discover and so many sweet questions asked by this little boy who loves nothing more than using the words explore and adventure.

chickens following us, eggs laid and collected, feathers, seed pods and autumn leaves now part of our autumn display at home ...

... so much adventure had and so much to explore ...

so much mystery down by the coop

~ even when the foxes came to visit and take more
