J9 necklace

i made this for a friend of mine last week... we went out for lovely cocktails and a night of dancing in cannes... it was coco loco crazy... the necklace stands for many things... anchor as we are both working on boats... "J" for janine... juan les pins for the beach we always have rose lunches in the summer... locket because i liked it... happy birthday janine...

it's handmade from all the treasures i find at antiques markets in nice

Im missing my first Australian Summer and seeing clothing like this reminds me of the simplicity of long days at the beach with the girls and our boards, walking around barefoot, getting up early and eating mangos for breakfast and road trips down the great ocean road!

la fin du jour

my first day in the Carib.. still getting over my jet lag.. I took a long walk around a small part of the island with my new found Hungarian friend Denise.. my camera died after 2 shots.. thankfully Denise was a gem and lent me some of her pics of our vibrant sightings of the day. P.S we are still searching for some pirates!

road trip to bordeaux

it's been rain rain rain all this week, we've had problems with the electricity for the last few days as there are leaks springing up everywhere on the boat we are looking after. buckets and towels a plenty. in between babysitting the drips i've been thinking about road trips. hopefully one up to the snow next weekend for the first snowboard of the winter. very exciting.

bordeaux was somewhere i'd been dying to get to since moving to france and a few weeks back a few friends and i made a last minute decision to go... drove the 7 hours and discovered a completely different side of this country. it was so nice to escape the coast and get lost in the vines... and of course the antiques...

this great grandfather clock was living in the chateau we stayed in.. he was tres grand

i bought the copper jug for an umbrella stand in the apartment... it's been very useful!

the drips are calling...
