Bohemia
This week for my 'shops i love' page, I bring you my lovely sponsor Bohemia. An award- winning lifestyle boutique selling bohemian clothing, accessories, bath and beauty products, gorgeous home furnishings, stationery, babywear, children's clothing, toys and gifts. Bohemia opened their first lifestyle store in 2006 in their home city of Edinburgh in Scotland. They source products that are exquisitely decorated or beautifully simple. Only one rule applies; they must love it!
I am loving the pretty Summery wall stickers, Miss Etoile bird weights and decorative bird cages. On my wish list is the ever so cute floral tennis shoes to wear on my Summer bike rides and a Trophy Deer head for my dining room. I am also lucky enough to own one of their Morrocon pouffes in white with silver grey embroidery, which adds glamour to my living room!
Have a sweet day!
More on being a bit weird
Almost a year ago I wrote a post about what an odd person I am and it turned out that I wasn't really so odd after all. We all do weird things.
Like, I've come to terms with the fact that every time I wash the dishes I get an excruciatingly itchy nose but I can't scratch it because my hands are wet because I'm washing the dishes. A little bit of torture each and every day.
And I'm okay that the few times I've managed to get my act together to go on twitter, my conversations are remarkably brief for a talker like me because every single time I'm suddenly busting for the loo. Once I've been, I forget I was ever twittering in the first place.
The other day I nearly gagged when I realised that I'd started to eat my steak before I'd finished all my vegetables.
There is no way I could fall asleep in a room with a cupboard door open.
If I kill an ant, I worry for days that millions of ants are coming to get me. This actually happened to me just this week as my pantry is full of ants and I'm pretty sure I stepped on one last Monday. I can hardly sleep because they've infiltrated the house and they are obviously coming to get me.
Before the ants can get me, I will probably get myself. I can't drink more than three glasses of alcohol without fretting that I'm going to wake up in the morning and wonder what happened the night before. This comes from experience, sadly, but at the age of almost forty and after a mere three glasses over an entire evening, you think I would have gotten over my paranoia. But I am coming to get me.
Finally, I will leave you with this random oddity. I can't sit with my back to the door. What am I, Vito Corleone? The Feds are after me? It's particularly embarrassing at work because they just move you anywhere they want you and I fret that my new desk will be the one where my back is to the door. I made my colleague swap once (thank you, Johnny), but so far no one else has noticed this odd little habit of mine. If anyone caught on, it may go some way to explaining my amazing punctuality at meetings. Every meeting you go to, there I am, the chirpy early bird facing the door ready to brightly welcome you to the room.
Like I said, I'm odd. But we all do weird things, right? Right?

local charm and produce . . .
. . . sunday . . .
just the 2 of us and of course the "big belly" slowly exploring and negotiating our way around our
local organic markets.
our recent farm visit has inspired our little family to enjoy more of the
fresh produce at our city farm.
a basket or oranges, banana's and a bunch of kale purchased.
herbs and fruit trees inspected and of course chickens to visit and chat with.
home to bake apple and cinnamon muffins . . .
snuggled in for books and we slept the afternoon away . . . just what we needed really!
we made these with our fresh kale. you can't just stop at one, two or three. yum!
a Melbourne lane way
& even more exciting was
the opportunity for me to
& made his mark in this eclectic piece of town
Not visiting, drowning
I'm writing, I'm posting (always writing, always posting), but I'm just not getting around to visit many blogs right now. I hope you will accept this lovely picture I've found as my apology. It depicts myself as I perform graceful acrobatics whilst slowly drowning under my work load.
As soon as I can find a spare second in my crammed life, I will be over to catch up with yours'.

Learning to dance in the rain...
Oh my goodness, it is raining so so hard at the moment! I mean it is bucketing down and has been for days... I'm trying not to get (too) down about it but anyone at home with kids will know - one day of rain is a novelty. Two days and everybody gets a bit antsy. Three, and if I had a knitting needle handy, I'd be close to poking my own eyes out! Well, maybe not that rash, but gosh-darn close. The kids are bored. I am bored. But there are a squillion things I could do to make the most of being cooped up inside and today I am going to get cracking!
I just love this print and today it is my motivation to creep out from under the doona:
Tomorrow, I have a guest 'rainy day activity' post to share for you! It's a cracker and something I myself have had on my own to-do list for some time! I hope wherever you are there are more rainbows than clouds... only 12 weeks til Spring!! x
