Forget Me Not

The other week, Morgan and I stumbled upon a little boutique/cafe called Forget me not. Shops like this are quite common in Australia, but here in France this was quite a rare find. We shared a pot of organic rose tea and had lovely chats about the world with Marie, the owner. If you're ever in Biarritz, try and find it, you'll love it.

home dreamin'

It has been 6 months since morgan and I packed up our home, sold most of what we own and began moving around. It has been such an incredible adventure so far, but the more we move around the more i find myself dreaming about the next home morgan and I will have together. It doesn't look like we will have our own place any time soon, so for now I will just continue to dream.

26 countries

The other week I did a little count and worked out I have been to 26 countries (other than the country of my birth) in my 24 years of living. I am pretty proud of this. In 2008 the count was at 21, just after I had my 21st birthday, and I am pretty happy that as my 25th birthday comes up in June, I have brought the country count up again, greater than my age. I hope as the years go on I can keep on traveling and explore more and more countries.

At this point in time I have spent time in the following counties:
Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, England, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Wales.

I know morgan and I have a few more countries we will explore in Europe in the next 12 months, and can't wait to see where that next place will be. But for now, I am happy with my memories so far of all the places I have been.

The following photos are from a trip I did in 2008, in which I went to 15 countries (mostly in Europe) with my friend Esther. Most of the photos used are hers.

ready for winter

As we have been sorting through our clothes and deciding what we keep and what has to go, I have been getting more and more excited about living in the northern hemisphere, in a place where it actually gets cold. I love winter and layering up, but growing up in north Queensland where jumper weather only lasts a month or so, I am so excited for the new fashion opportunities. More than anything I am excited to buy some knee high boots and coats. I have never owned boots other than ankle ones and brought my first coat this year to get ready for the trip.

Here is some fashion inspiration I have been storing on pinterest for when I get live in a winter wonderland.

i love my craft group.

I love my craft group. We have been meeting for about 5 months now (I think), once a month, to share skills and take time to make fun things. My friend Talia started it up and I am so glad she did. Our numbers are still small, but new people are coming along every month.

On Saturday at the Sunshine Coast Brown Owls meet up, I learnt how to crochet. I have been wanting to learn for ages, and this month Gaby taught us all some of her mad crochet skills. I am so excited. I have been practicing my skills all the time since then [thanks gaby!]. I can't wait till I can make a granny square blanket.

I often spend time on other people's blogs and pinterest looking for inspiration, but you can never go past an actual craft group to give you a boost of creativity. This month I challenge you to start meeting with your friends or join and existing group of people who join together to share and inspire each other in creative pursuits. It is so worth it.
