Each new week here in the (blog)house<\/a> I am overwhelmed with the amount of inspiration and talent I find amongst you. Little girl giddiness takes over and my heart starts racing, I get ants in my pants and I just want to shout out to the world with hands full of my new-found treasures. Yes, it is just like being given the key to open a new treasure chest every Monday, the light from all the goodness shining on my face like glittering gold. I intended to post an update of My Heart Wanders <\/a> but first I just have to share with you this morning’s finds…<\/p>\n

I’m proud as punch to announce that I won Caroline’s birthday competition! I can’t wait to receive her fabo cupcake prints. When you go and read her ‘and the winner is’ <\/a>announcement post you will see who I have been selected alongside, I feel rather special and am very honoured. Thanks Caroline, it was heaps of fun to compete and am looking forward to your next one, I implore everyone to get on board! It’s a great excuse (not that you need one) to peruse Caroline’s extensive photo collection in her etsy shop<\/a>. I will showcase another one of Caroline’s photographs in the upcoming post of inspiration for ‘My Heart Wanders’ <\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been holding back on revealing my chocolate and cranberry cookie recipe<\/a> for some time but when Laura from A World In A Pan<\/a> asked if I’d like to submit a recipe for her beautiful website I gave up the notion of keeping this secret any longer. Friends and family have always said I give away too much but bugger it I say, if I wanna I will! So here it is, my treasured cookie recipe. Click here<\/a> for the recipe and to read about the background of this cookie, inspired by my love of Canadians and the fruits of their fine land. Also check out Laura’s blog<\/a> for an update on her cooking classes in Paris and the fabulous stores in her arrondissment, I am especially loving the look of that fromagerie<\/a>!<\/p>\n

And last but not least, I must start this week by introducing you to the very talented young Queensland potter and poet, Kylie Johnson<\/a>. She has just published a collection of her poetry in book form called ‘Count Me The Stars’<\/a>. The above image is of one of her bowls just to give you an idea of her work, but for a more thorough look go and wander around her Paper Boat Press website <\/a>and blog<\/a>. I have already popped her into my blogroll so that I don’t miss out on her updates. <\/p>\n

Submissions are trickling in already for My Heart Wanders <\/a>. Next post will give you a little more inspiration… \u00c3\u00a0 tout \u00c3\u00a0 l’heure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
