I just got home.

French Boy is cooking bolognaise.

And I snapped these photos outside the window of le petit bateau.

Happy Earth Day my dear readers! I took this photo on the plane to Sydney in January. I still have so many photos and stories to share with you from that trip! All in good time.

i love this vintage illustration of rye and oats, from etsy boutique shaving kits’ vintage paper.

while I continue my mission to find some rye stalks, I’d like to tell you about a few things going on around the (blog)house…

…………………………………………………….

First of all, lovey stacy from la boudoir asked if I’d like to write a ‘do or die list’ for her new series. she made a beautiful montage of my photographs for my ‘do or die’ list, please check out the full post here! It was so nice to see her find all these photos from my blog, reminded me of some of my old posts from last year. thank you stacy!!

…………………………………………………….

Secondly, I have a facebook fan page! So, if you are a fan, and if you are on facebook, please come join us right here. I write about stuff I’m up to during the day that I don’t write about on the blog, so you’ll get a good dose of what’s going on in my life (if you are interested!)

…………………………………………………….

and thirdly, what happened to my nesting series, you might ask? I’ve had to put it on hold for the moment – sometimes i’m good at juggling my work and my blog, and other times i’m not… this is one of those times! I’ll get back to it, don’t you worry.

…………………………………………………….

that’s all really. i just thought i’d update y’all.

PS foux da fafa.

I have an urgent stylist’s request for you my dear readers – I need to find rye stalks for a shoot this week. My preference is for fresh rye stalks as opposed to dry, but I don’t think it’s the season for rye here in the north but even still, i can’t seem to find anyone who grows rye or even happens to have rye lying about the place.

So, I’m wondering, would any of you know someone who grows rye or sells rye, or even if you live near a rye field? Or live near somewhere that sells such a product? Or know a baker that might have some rye stalks?!

I know, crazy request!

But as a stylist i often have to find crazy things and I thought I might extend this query out to you, in the hope that by the off chance you might have some rye, wherever you are in the world. And if so, if you’d be so kind as to send some my way. My deadline is this Friday, so if I can get some before then, oh I would be a very happy girl!
