washing lines

I love washing lines. Not the Hill's Hoists of my Aussie youth, just the simple clothes line. I love washing and hoovering and domestic chores.

Photobooth proposal

Reading A Cup Of Jo never fails to improve my mood. She just finds the sweetest, most life affirming things ever. Like this photobooth proposal. OH. How lovely it would be to tell this story to your grandkids. Or to anyone who would listen?
And where else would I find out about Flickr groups devoted to plaits?

So cute, so simple. Via History of Architecture
I want to learn to make things like this. I have a feeling it's less simple than I think.

Oh I cannot wait.

Two Moon Junction

Some things in life are literally unexplainable. My love and staunch defense of Two Moon Junction as one of the finest films ever created will remain forever. I watched it again.. just to be sure I could make such a claim. Yep, still perfect. Just like Sherilyn Fenn's eyebrows.

Minnie Castevet's real life

Out to play

A NY street sign put out to tell cars that a street was closed so kids could play. Can you even conceive of such a thing today? It just wouldn't happen. It should happen. It's so cool. It's so makeshift and unofficial and just plain excellent.

Currently reading....

Attracted by the lovely houses on the cover, that look like a Parisian model village.. I picked it up and purchased. It's one of those books that I feel like I've only just started but my thumbed pages say otherwise. I am not sure about it. I need recommendations. I need a book list.


TT has suggested this... which has made him smile and laugh on the tube in the mornings..


I'm just hopeful that I will one day find something I love as much as this. My favourite in 34 years and counting.

Mia Farrow

Could she possibly be any cuter, sweeter or perfectly complexioned? Is that even a word? All via LIFE
