Drabbles, Photographs and What not

A drabble I wrote today about one of my favourite jackets.  You haven’t seen me style this one yet as it is a spring/summer/fall coat.  Having 3/4 sleeves makes it too cold for winter.  But hopefully it will pop up soon!

~* The First Sight *~

   It was love at first sight...  She looked across the store at me and I could feel my threads tighten with anticipation.  She was dressed in black: a cute knee length skirt and a ruffley top.  I could see her blue eyes light up when her gaze fell upon my floral print and tailored shape.  She danced across, I could tell she really like me even before she touched me.

    She plucked me off the rack and turned to her friends excitedly.  "It's perfect ~ so my style!!" she exclaimed.  

    We didn't even make to the fitting room.  She slipped me on right then and there and took a look in the mirror.   She turned this way and that.   It was a match made in heaven and she took me home that very day. 

       I heard her murmur something about having spent too much money on clothes today but that she couldn't resist me....

News and what not ~  DH has just gotten a new job which will involve him travelling around Australia for an indeterminate amount of time.   And I am most likely going to be going with him.   ><

I love travelling and exploring, but we also have to sort out a house to buy in Canberra so that when we come home on the weekends we will have somewhere to live. 

And there’s the moving as we are currently house sitting, but will have to leave before we manage to buy our new place.  So there will be floating for a while.  Hopefully we can find a place to stay for the next three odd weeks or so.   It’s all rather crazy at the moment to say the least. 

So in terms of blogging, please do not be mad if things get rather disjointed.  I will try to keep up with everything, but I know it is going to be a challenge as there will be a lot of up and down.

In the mean time, here are some photographs I took the other morning.  I was supposed to be packing the car to go to the snow, but I saw these gorgeous flowers sprinkled with rain drops and just knew I had to do a super quick shoot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

The snow ended up being fantastically great fun, but what was better was getting those photographs when I had too.  I hate having photographic regrets ~ where you are all “Darn it ~ I wish I had my camera!”  It just bites so much when there is a perfect photo and you can not capture it.  At least, that’s what I find anyway!  

xox,

P.S. ~ That drabble is the true story of how I 'met' my jacket and brought it!
