my sydney cherry has been popped

sydney







Wow - what a mad week. By the week end I would have worked 16 days straight - im looking forward to a saturday morning sleep in!

Ive just spent my first ever, 6 days in sydney. An opportunity came about through work, & I jumped at the chance to go.
Aside from working, I managed a night out at Madri Gras (have you ever seen so may people?!), Bondi beach (lovely!), the fish markets (yum!), the opera house &, to top it all off, I found my way to Paddington, to see Sibella Courts shop, Society Inc - a definite highlight.

As it turned out, the shops opening hours meant it was closed (just my luck), but a lovely man let me in for a look around - yay!
Have you ever been to Society Inc? I could have spent hours in there.
I didnt take any photos of the inside - I always feel a bit cheeky doing that - but managed a few snaps outside the building. I love Society Inc, everywhere you look is a visual delight. Ill definitely be back!

Sometimes you Australians do it so well. Upon a Fold = paper heaven!

sail away with me

boat


I had a massage on saturday (bliss!) with a lady who is a little psychic. She saw an Ocean relating to me, but couldn't tell me what it was in relation too. She may have been seeing my upcoming trip to Sydney?
Whatever she saw, I thought these boat prints were appropriate. Im especially loving the top print.

Do you like to show off your expensive purchases? Then this pillow is the perfect thing for you!
