Vale Rocket Man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Till touch down brings me round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

"Rocket Man - Elton John"

Today I have to say goodbye to a friend way before his time. Just when I think I have my head around it, I don't. I can't begin to imagine, and I have been there before. To him and his family, I will always carry your heart with me. Life is so precious and fragile but for some so dark and hopeless no matter the love and support around them.

Glimpses of Green

The grass is always greener..... right? Let's hope so.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life which grows higher than the soul can hope or the mind can hide and this is the wonder that keeps the stars apart, for i carry your heart with me.

What I got upto on the weekend....

Besides having dinner in the markets with my parents Friday night, scooting down to the post office with parcels galore for Brown Button Trading customers Saturday morning before catching a bus to the country to see the town where I grew up win their first A grade Football grand final is goodness knows how long (lots of fun - country footy is the best), celebrate Saturday night back in Adelaide (any excuse for a few drinks with friends), wake up the next morning with a numb toe (don't think my boots were meant to be worn for about 18 hours straight), and um, still can't feel my toe now...... Grace and I managed to find time to get together and take some pics of Brown Button Trading product 'in action'. Here is a sneak peak. I'm exhausted, thank goodness it's Monday!...... xx

"Hello Kimberlee speaking...."

"Why yes hello. It's a rather important looking old man standing in a field talking on the phone here (it makes quite a good cool photo actually) - just letting you know that it is Wednesday already......... Yes, Yes - I said Wednesday........ Yes I am sure. So get your skates on girlie, you still have so much to do this week!"

Continually Inspired.

It's no secret I love an inspiration board. I'm working on mine...... Jennifer Causey has an inspiration wall (bottom 2 images) and when I first spied it over at frolic I knew it was clear I was going to have a serious crush on her photography.

Seeing them reminded me of the fabulous inspiration wall Shelley has created in their office at Galerie Montmartre (top two images). I had seen it on her blog and then to see it in person when I visited their fabulous gallery three weeks ago - LOVED it.

Now, I'm off to remove the bills and receipts currently pinned to my 'inspiration board', time to get inspired pretty peeps! xx

Loving this stuff sick right now.

Tom may have had Renee 'at hello' but Emma and Tom's Pink Grapefruit water had me at "went out a little late last night?" - lets just say me and my dancing shoes had a ball on Saturday night so while grocery shopping on Sunday I needed juice. Emma and Tom's juice is it I tell you, delicious. But I thought I'd give this a go, but not without a little hesitation as I've never been one for flavoured waters, water flavoured water normally does me fine thank you very much! Anyhoo - this stuff is goooood. And apparently it has added vitamins and minerals as well. Honestly, I'm a sucker for their fabulous packaging as well. YUM!
