My bedroom. I've always been one to sit on my bed whilst reading / drawing / covering school books, anything really. My bedroom is my haven.I love my white bedspread and vintage pillow covers, inspired by this post.
A home for Alice
I'm not sure if you've heard of this yet..but its a collective Polaroid exhibition to be held in Melbourne.
The image is a bit hard to read, but if you click and view bigger then it becomes clear.
So what you think? I'm thinking I will send a Polaroid of my mum's house, cause mine isn't all that interesting. Plus its more the place I consider to be home.

so I have a confession
Thursday, June 12
I hate baking.
Actually its more then that, I detest it. Give me someone else's baked food any day but just don't ask me to bake.
I feel inadequate to my fellow baking bloggers. Did I somehow miss the baking gene? cause my mum bakes, and so does my nan. But my sister and I, nope no baking happening here. In fact its not just baking, we don't cook either. Lucky we both have lovely boyfriends who don't mind cooking.
My last endevour to bake proved disastrous...I got myself a copy of the Frankie cookbook and picked out the easiest possible recipe to make, chocolate balls.
Do you think I could even make that? nope. They didn't taste anything like the chocolate balls I remember nan making.
so There I said it. I don't do baking. please don't think any less of me.

polaroid by collieI'm still not sure what my mum meant by that, but I think this Polaroid might explain a bit of it.
How terribly depressing, anyone wanna sell everything, buy a van and drive around Australia?
If not then at least check out more of Colie's polaroids at her flickr.

crack me up
Today one of my co-workers emailed me this when I asked them about their long weekend.....
i found some cheap drinks at dan-murphys on the weekend.
vodka + cola $13 for a six pack @ 7% alcohol.
i bought some.
taste pretty crap though.
my highlight for the weekend.
Totally cracked me up! Its like the perfect short story, you can read so much into it and picture him finding the cheap drinks...getting all excited. Then disappointed.
But maybe its just me, I have been known to have a weird sense of humour.

This is.....my favourite travel memory
Gecko's bookstore in Chiang MaiIt really difficult to single out a favourite travel memory but Ill try. So I'm going with my most recent travels to Thailand. I started by traveling around the south with my boyfriend on one of those organised tours. After he left I stayed on for a few weeks to meet up with my bestie in Bangkok.
Bangkok being a dirty smelly place was really unappealing to spend 2 weeks in. So I booked myself a flight to the North and went on an adventure. This turned out to be the best decision I could of made. I based myself in Chiang Mai and traveled to see the hill tribe peoples and the Golden triangle. But the real highlight was the town of Chiang Mai itself. This little place was packed full of book stores and art galleries, my perfect place !
The picture is of a book store that I spent ages looking through. All the books in the store were left behind by other travelers. You could buy a book and then return it later getting half your money back. I loved the idea that I could pick up a book that was read by another traveler, and perhaps even brought over from their own country, and now left for me to find.
Thanks Hila for this weeks theme.

Including one of my favourites, Cori Kindred.
