Holding onto what's golden

Man, this week. It wasn't my favourite.

The beach is one of the best ways to bring me back to centre. I never thought I would end up living by the sea, but now I don't know how I ever lived without it.

We spent the final hour of light on a blustery, chilly Friday afternoon watching heavy waves lash the coast. Together, dusted with salt as the wind howled and the golden light lifted us into the weekend.

"A portrait of my husband and our marriage, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Richard: Tough Mudder.

We: are constantly reminding ourselves to put away distractions and spend time just being together. When we do, we're at our best.

Last week, it was quiet moments of childhood wonderment that caught my eye. Whether it be sleeping under the stars, discovering the clouds in the sky or watching the world go by in the afternoon sun.

I wanna be with you everywhere

This morning I lured him out of bed and aaall the way across town under the guise of interiors inspiration and the promise of an amazing breakfast....knowing full well that Kara Rosenlund, Frankie and a treasure trove of amazing vintage wares would be waiting, having all made the long road trip down the east coast.

Beautiful. So, beautiful. I wanted to buy All Of The Things!

We drove there in the shiny Autumn morning sunshine, playing Fleetwood Mac, all the way to eleven. Yep.

Gorgeous Kara and Frankie will be back again tomorrow, I'd recommend a visit if you can get there.

Homepage for the homeless

Source

Do you love shopping online? Me too.

Do you want to do something about youth homelessness in Australia? ME TOO!

It's shocking to think that literally tens of thousands of young people will be homeless in Australia tonight. 

I've just come across a fantastic initiative that, as a rather prolific online shopper I can't believe I didn't already know about.  Maybe you and your friends don't yet either.

Homepage for the Homeless is basically keyhole linking you to some major online shopping portals. These shopping sites offer a finders fee for directing customers to them. By clicking through these keyholes first, the finders fee goes towards projects addressing youth homelessness in Australia. It's so simple and clever!

It doesn't cost you anymore to shop this way, but any purchases you make will make a difference to a young person somewhere. If you're online shopping anyway, why not make it count, by starting here.

Happy Friday !
