winter winds

here

it is super chilly today in melbourne. for the first day all year i have worn gloves and a scarf. even at my desk - our a/c system hasn't quite switched over to autumn yet. all i want is to curl up with a cup of tea and warm my bones. 


here are some lovely things to warm you up on this chilly day


m u s i c - love.stop.repeat are simply gorgeous. i haven't stopped listening all day.  


p l a c e s - oz park chicago - there are giant sculptures and all things inspired by one of my favourite tales. and yes i will be visiting when i go to chicago on my trip (yay) 


i wish i was this c o o l - hannah + landon. i love this blog. i have such jealousy pangs over these two creative poppits based in nyc

before & after

i've been feeling a touch disorganised of late. maybe because i can't find anything and that just isn't a good thing when you are madly trying to pack & make orders at 3am. and it probably doesn't help when you are literally rotating items off your desk into piles on the floor or couch. 

so, finally i have gotten my studio organised. and i am so so so pleased with the results i actually almost wept a little earlier. and to think all it took was 2 days & two visits to ikea! but seriously, it finally feels like my space & not a glorified storage unit. 

so take a peak at the pics below,i couldn't resist sharing.  

have a good easter sweet ones xxx

before: 

the shambles that was my work area, which was double as a storage area! 

after:

the newly painted table & my wall 

the first of my teacup collection to be put to good use 

the extremely ordered workspace!

more of my new work area, including the lovely drawers i put together from ikea - no jokes it has 75 screws
