1. vase obsession: i brought this one from mr.kitly and i’m filling with stolen-from-the-street pre-spring blossoms to max out it’s prettiness (at swim two birds pot holder from mr.kitly too).
2. re-discovering peter and the wolf: it was my absolute favourite when i was a kid (below is the record we had) and now my kids are loving it too. ari in particular, who listens to it low through headphones at night while he goes to sleep. we downloaded this version.
3. heading to brisbane: to speak at semi-permenant (melbourne one as well in 2 weeks). even after my recent flurry of talks the thought of public speaking still makes me ill, but i am looking forward to enjoying some queensland sunshine, checking out kirra’s show, and also hanging out with lovely leah all weekend long. as part of my presentation i’m including some words of advice, such as:
4. dreaming of spring outfits: i’m longing for that feeling of just wearing one layer and open toed shoes (fingers crossed i’ll get slice of that action in QLD). my current dream outfit includes: PAM dress, object and totem necklace and tsumori chisato espadrilles (available from pet shop girls)
5. guest editing lost and found newsletter: you can read my favourite melbourne tips here, and keep checking lost of found’s FB page to win a competition which will include an afternoon of shopping, lunch and my company in the very near future.
some other things currently happening on my computer: max crumb’s “maidenhair“, eat this food, and booking holidays.
any brisbane tips please send my way! in the meantime – BRING ON SPRING xx

You’ll be surprised it’s quite warm up here in Qld… you could probably get away with a cute dress and a cardi in our weather at the moment – so don’t pack too much! Night time is a little chilly though. Good luck at Semi Perm – i’m sure you’ll be fab. I can’t come – i’ll be looking after kidlets. Can’t wait to hear about it. xo
wow, i had totally forgotten peter and the wolf! i used to love it too as a kid, do you think it’s weird if i download it even though i have no kids?!! its up there with fantasia for me, same kind of style music, maybe i’ll sniff that one out too…
Snap! My mum had that same album as well. Is that an actual album you have or did you find the artwork online? I wonder, does it say who the art is by?
Wow. Eat this Food is BEAUTIFUL. Hadn’t seen it before.
Beci, you should watch this version of Peter and the Wolf. It’s my favourite! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_the_Wolf_(2006_film)
