On my walk today

These are some things that I saw on my walk today.

Autumn

Where I live it has suddenly changed seasons into Autumn. I read an article saying that girls only like Autumn to appear more complex which I think is quite funny but I really love the crunching of leaves and changing to new fun wardrobes and getting back into knitting again. My new house has a fire so I'm looking forward to lighting that.

Tomorrow I am taking 100 students into the bush to camp out for a couple of nights. Wish me luck!

Karen Walker

My favourite Lonely Hearts jacket ever

New York Neck Lush

A True Bricoleur

This week I received a wonderful package in the mail- a beautiful hand-crafted ring from Dan Kemp in Iowa. I feel very lucky to wear this piece. He has superb craftsmanship and a truly professional finish to his work. All made from recycled materials in the back of his caravan studio.

'Everything around us has a story to tell and I take pride in giving my materials a second life as a piece of art. In particular the reused silverware jewelry inspires me to reflect on the materials' past life. At a flea market, I found an old spoon with lots of visible wear on one side of its bowl and I couldn't help wondering who owned that spoon and how many homemade meals they must have eaten with it.' - Dan Kemp

His unique pieces have wonderfully whimsical names like- Evening Star, Narcissus, Orange Blossom, First Love, Daybreak and Woodland Rose.

Beautiful Affordable Art Prints

I have become a little obsessed with the amazing range of original art prints available on Etsy. Here are a few of my favourites. Very affordable and lovely.

Dream Bedrooms

I would love to curl up in these bedrooms. My favourite room to decorate.

Markets

I visited the local flea market this morning and returned home with a Pocahontas / fringed country and western vintage dress, a gorgeous New Zealand vintage floral 1950s dress and a checked brown and yellow silk scarf. I love finding treasures at the market- so many things to rifle through and cheap prices. Here are some other markets I would love to visit.

 

Fashion

A few things I am currently fond of. Fashion photography is a fun art form. I love the mix of fashion, textures, accessories, hair, make-up, exotic locations and gorgeous creatures.
