it is not for me to question where the words come from, I just know they are not intended for me, I give voice to my eyes and all they capture. Inspiration and creativity comes from the most humble and unexpected places and for that I shall always be grateful. I write of Love or loss, people and places that move me to tears and of course there will always be food......Passion comes in many a strange and wonderful package !

On Any Given Day......
Maybe I think too much, maybe I care too much.....but when you look at someone's home and its contents, what is it you see ?
Things come and go, we buy those must have's and can't live without items through out our life and eventually these pieces are put in a box and sent to the goodwill store.
Then there are those other's........items that resonate, have a history, carry a story of those we Love and wish we could be with every single day !
I glance down at the placemat beneath my computer mouse and think back to Mum......she bought us this set which we cherish and keep close so that she won't be far from our thoughts.......I look over at our beautiful dresser full of dinnerware from Luxembourg and think of two beautiful sister's, Pascale and Joelle....remembering all the laughter we have shared.
In the lounge hangs a saying that was chosen with Love by our beautiful Friend Jenny and in turn this links us with Joanne who always has the ability to make you smile with her blunt wit......don't ever change Joanne !
Photo's of the city circle tram remind us of Melbourne and in turn link us with Michelle and Campbell......you will always be part of us.
For every piece within this home there is a story.......Drita resides in so many corners of this house and is a constant reminder of how beautiful people can be.
Gerry and Aisling, Ross and Afric are never far away too.....they bring a deeper more personal history to the table, a photo of Mum and Dad keep watch on us, guiding us as they always have and no doubt shall continue to do.
So on any given day...wander through a home.......build stories from the pieces you see and the lives that have passed this way, personal histories that have shaped our lives, steered our journey and ultimately make us who we are.
