snapshots from around my home + books on their way…
Posted in pia's photos, sydney November 8th, 2011 by pia

clockwise from top left: “after lunch colours”; “sewing day, colours du jour“; beautiful balmoral beach; our first harvest.

The weather in Sydney is glorious right now – sunny blue skies, beautiful sea breezes… summer is definitely on its way. Being the homebody that I am, I’ve been mostly enjoying the weather from the comfort of my home. I’m growing organic vegies and herbs in our little backyard (above is evidence of our first tiny harvest! Three radishes, they were delicious, I can’t wait for more), and on the front porch I have created a little retreat from the sun, complete with comfy cushions and bamboo blinds. Below is a glimpse of the backyard and the front porch…

I’m finally getting the house organised, it’s taken a lot longer than I had planned, but it’s coming together so nicely, I’m eager to show you the spaces I’ve been creating.

Meanwhile, I’m going to be sending out the first batch of books at the end of this week, so if you’d like to receive My Heart Wanders, or Paris: Made by Hand, or Amsterdam:Made by Hand (or all three), signed and wrapped and delivered to your front door by the end of this month, then place your order now so I can include you with this first batch.  Thank you for the wonderful orders so far, I’m so looking forward to signing the books with your names and sending them off around the world – a little piece of my heart will be wandering off with each parcel.

    Love the fabric you’re using on your sewing day! What are you making? Your radishes look yummie!

    Glad to hear you’re home is coming along nicely, and to see that you’re well enough to be up and about taking gorgeous photos!

    It all looks so lovely! (And good news: we found a house north of A’dam, w/ back garden overlooking canal. It comes w/ its own rowboat! Now for the bureaucracy.) Take care of YOU! x

    My parents live in Sydney and they said there have been some really hot days already, perfect for cool drinks & reading on your gorgeous porch.

    Even though I love your photography and the way you stylise everything.. but sometimes i wish I could see your lifestyle ..home..etc.. photographed as is..without the perfect stylisation..tiny fragments of beautiful scenes..just a photo showing the whole room.. as is..coz they leave you wanting more..maybe that’s the whole idea..lol

    Pia, it has been raining a lot today in Barcelona, we are in plain autumn here.It was perfect to spend some time with a cup of tea, home made cookies and flip through the pages of your new book. Your texts are as beautiful as your images!I love the overall image, from the cover to the carefully chosen graphic design!

    Dear Pia, As a fellow author, photography and traveller, I’ve been following you for some years now, and have loved your blogs. I wanted to say congratulations on the baby news. I’m so thrilled. It is certainly a fitting ending to a wonderful few years of wandering the world. I’ve enjoyed your books, too. All the best for the next chapter(s) of your life.
    Warmest regards, Janelle McCulloch
