why hello

We should not mind so small a flower --
Except it quiet bring
Our little garden that we lost
Back to the Lawn again.

So spicy her Carnations nod --
So drunken, reel her Bees --
So silver steal a hundred flutes
From out a hundred trees --

That whoso sees this little flower
By faith may clear behold
The Bobolinks around the throne
And Dandelions gold. 

 Emily Dickinson 

What a brilliant (and brilliantly hot!) summer day it is. Enjoy the sights and smells today. Ok, well maybe not all the smells...... :)

To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else. {Emily Dickinson}

I've been a little busy the last few days and neglected my poor old blog. I have some things I'd like still to blog about but time is not my friend at the moment. I promise I will get around to it eventually. I want to show you the gorgeous things I picked up from Mathilda's Market. Zoe wore one of her new dresses yesterday for Melbourne Cup.

I also have some cute giveaways coming soon just in time for Christmas so please hang around and show me some love even while my blog is on pause. I'll be right back!
