Baguettes and Moet et Chandon

{ it was hard to concentrate with the sun shining ever so brightly this afternoon, as a result my mind wandered and crossed the fragile line between reality and dream, blurring everything I knew to be certain. I was far far away and nothing could bring me back. . . travelling from village to village, the french countryside so quiet, serene and peaceful. I slept with ease and woke to a never-ending lavender field - imagine that! The aroma of crusty baguettes drifted into my room, and before I knew it I was sipping ice-cold moët and chandon with my dearest after spending the late summer morning exploring the age-old château hotel and riding late into the sunset on bicycles carrying freshly-picked berries. I'm charmed by the cheese platters of Androuet and the beautiful vineyards of Burgundy. It's an amazing moment. I take out my supplies and attempt to replicate this beautiful sight before me, but time doesn't wait and I'm whisked away, shoes off and all . . . }

Too sweet

Having another busy week again so not able to post everyday but I had to come on and share these two adorable images... as much as I am afraid of rats, how can you look at this and not go awww! :D

Hello friends!
How have your weekends been? I have just returned home from a 2-day trip to visit & catch up with my friend (who I haven't seen in the longest time) on her property. I am sunburnt all over but feeling so incredibly rejuvenated!! The last 2 days were wonderful and much-needed after spending all day at home working and feeling miserable because of this cold weather. The change felt so great -- to breathe in the freshest of fresh air, to wake up every morning to birds singing and then to lay in the meadows eating cupcakes as if we had no worries in the world. I so wasn't ready to come home!!

I am just about to go make myself some dinner to eat, but will be back soon with updates!

Stay happy,

My Love Affair with Nature

breathtaking

When I stumbled across this photo yesterday, my heart literally skipped a beat because I had finally found the words that perfectly summarised how I felt about nature, my love for it and the inspiration I draw from it... Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed about one day living in a rainforest condo nestled amongst trees, overlooking streaming rivers and gushing waterfalls. So in April when I went travelling I knew I just had to fulfill this and it was undeniably the best experience of my life. Looking at the photos below made me think of my holiday and especially that last photo, it takes my breath away, over and over...
