boy oh boy does time fly ’round these sunny parts! our four weeks of sydney living are coming to an end and I am a busy bee collecting things from home to take home. and these little beauties will no doubt find their way into petits nooks & crannies in my suitcase.

PS I’ve been so creative while here, I have bundles and bundles of things to share with you! are you sick of me telling you that yet?

PPS I feel like doodling all over these pretty shells – I can see a whole world in there, but I shall have to wait until I get back to my pen tablet. what do these shells inspire in you?

I took this photograph in my old paris apartment – remember the writing on the windows in the guitar studio/second bedroom? (This might jog your memory) Well this photo is looking through that glass window out onto the lovely Haussmann building opposite. I wrote “Paris” on the window and took the photo at dusk.

I snapped this quick behind-the-scenes photograph while I was working on a shoot a few weeks ago in Amsterdam – this is the collection of props I had gathered for the shoot and I just love the colours and the light coming through onto the props table from the window behind. In a few weeks the magazine will be out and I can show you what props I chose and how it all turned out in the end. I had a ball on this shoot, working with my favourite people!

PS I will be back to my home away from home next week. It’s been a hectic time back in Sydney, but I have lots to show + tell, including some funny stories, some not so funny stories, some interesting experiences and some beautiful places that I have been able to take French Boy to. We have recorded some soundscapes for you too! Please forgive me for not being able to reply to emails and comments lately – I will be back on track soon px

It’s only a piece of baker’s twine but it just looked so pretty tied to this tiny branch, hidden from the world. I felt like I’d found a secret treasure in the heart of the Jardin Des Plantes… I imagined once upon a time it had a love note attached to it – wouldn’t that make your heart sing if you found it?
