Sharing a little love...

This week I decided to treat myself and buy the Naomi Murrell brooch that I've been ooogling at for months. From Naomi's popular 'A Little Love' collection, this bird brooch is beautifully crafted from lightweight teak veneer.

Next on the shopping list is a matching set of bird wall ornaments. They are a modern twist to the 1950s flying bird set. Only available at One Small Room, Croydon.

The Great Aussie Burger!

To celebrate Australia Day today we decided to make burgers for dinner. I saw a "Golden Circle" commercial and that gave me the idea. So one can of pineapple rings, and one can of sliced beetroot later, here is my big Aussie burger creation.  Hope you enjoyed your Australia Day!

I have designed some new flyers and posters to help promote the Grange Organic Market. Help us spread the word by downloading the files from the market website here.  We would really appreciate the extra plug so print them out and add them to your office or school notice boards. Thanks :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I must say I am really looking forward to this new year ahead. 2009 held many personal challenges for me and even though at times things were quite difficult, I still tried to be as grateful as possible.

Eileen Caddy writes in her book Opening Doors Within (Findhorn Press): "Give constant thanks for everything. There is much to be grateful for; open your eyes, look around and see how blessed you are. As you do so, you'll find yourself filled with an overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude, and the whole of life and living will take on a new meaning."

It's true, a little bit of gratitude goes a long way towards a more fulfilling life and will help smooth the path as you pass through difficult times.
