bringing in the new year

two very modern gypsies set of seeking adventures on the far south coast

up before the birds, the farm welcomed us with perfect waves and sweet sweet pineapple 

  not to mention the vagabond and pirate we picked up along the way

 after small town explorations involving bakeries, naps in parks and bric a brac stores we settled in a grove full of wild wild trees, surrounded by a freshwater lake and the salty salty sea.

 inspired by the flower drum, we set to work, gathering what we could, to make wreaths for the ones we love

sister beattie

who, might I add, is clothes designer extraordinaire 

 and me

Beattie picked up some enamel along the way (I tried to stop her, but she promised it'd be the last time...it wasn't)

 street side veggies with honesty boxes 

 amazing waves and hot hot days

 a tropical pash or two :)

 much wandering

 VERY impressive fires in mysterious bays

 warm cups of tea (note the enamel cups and teapot...problem)

 explosions of joy

 and giggles galore

we stepped into the new year with grace in our hearts and flowers in our hair

I hope you did too.

rebirth

Today's blog is of rebirth...junkyards becoming homes...vintage fabrics becoming board bags...friendships. and. gus, i'll see you some time.

3 gypsy jackets got sewn one day,

by a lovely lady who came from far away

Here they are with a story of their own

We hope they are loved and find a home.

sometimes you find the strangest things,

there are those days where your odds become evens and your evens become odds.

and it can take a while, and it might be hard to see,

but its in this junkyard of life that beauty is revealed.
