An incredible musical fable by Tom Waits,
William S. Burroughs and Robert Wilson,
which I was fortunate to see performed 
in English at the Sydney Festival in 2004.

You can view a version of it here on youtube


The accompanying album is fantastic
and available here from Amazon


Now, who can resist a little dancing halloween skeleton?


Simply enchanting, are they not?

a winter walk







                          Ari's always looking for fairies...

                 


My wonderful piano key socks are by 
Kirsten Perry from her Numero Uno range,
you can purchase your own pair here.

The decoupage bangles are of my own label
and will be available from my shop in July.
  
Recently I stumbled across this interview 
on the Craft Victoria blog where Kirsten 
talks about her art,  life and inspirations.

I met Kirsten at the Rose St. Artist's Market,
where I also sold my wares for many a year.
I bought one of her fantastic ig toys for Ari 
and I've also got a handpainted ceramic 
skull necklace which I absolutely treasure.

I really love the humour of Kirsten's work.

You can visit her fantastic blog here 

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend too!

It was my birthday yesterday 
and I had a wonderful day.

Here are some of my favourite twin images





It was really lovely to catch up with so 
many of my dear friends this weekend.

I feel blessed to have 
such beautiful people in my life.

Thank-you for all the wonderful gifts
and loving thoughts and words...



 I'd also like to wish a very

 Happy Birthday 

to all my fellow geminis... 
I know so many.
