Morning Walk Inspiration

This morning I am feeling grateful:

  • I had an amazing day at Red Poles Sea and Vine Festival Pop-Up Market on Saturday.  I shared a gazebo with 2 other lovely artists, and we spent the quiet parts of the day chatting, eating cheese platters and maybe indulging in one glass of bubbles!
  • I am grateful for my husband, supporting me in the business I choose to run, and looking after the kids when I have to work.  Seriously lucky.
  • I am doing a great course at the moment on wholesaling my products, and I am extremely grateful for all of the information, new ideas, and actions that I am taking as a result.  I have no idea where all of this will end up, but it’s exciting!
  • Thanks for the orders that have come through for the new colour of the month jewellery.  I took some of it to the markets, and it got a really great response.  Thank you.

And a big thanks to you for reading my blog!

The Colour Brown

This is part of a series of posts about colour.  This month I am focusing on the colour brown.

I have a confession to make.  I don’t wear the colour brown!  I think it’s because I wear a lot of black, I just haven’t ever bothered with brown.

Last month I started playing with some brown and purple colour combinations, and I thought to myself…hmm, brown is pretty cool, it works really well with a lot of colours.

That’s why I made it the colour of the month.

Brown is a great neutral colour in your wardrobe, and you’ll see over the course of the month how great the colour can look with all sorts of other colours.

Let’s start with brown and ivory.  Ivory is a great contrast to the darker brown.

On my walk this morning…

My Morning Walk June 1st - 1st day of winterI’ll be honest.  I hate winter.

Today I am looking forward to:

  • My newsletter coming out on Thursday!  Subscribe now for your chance to win a pair of earrings.  I will have some new jewellery ready too.
  • Red Poles Market Bazaar on Saturday.  It’s part of the Sea and Vines festival held on the long weekend in the McLaren Vale wine region.
  • Finishing the book “A Table in the Orchard – My Delicious Life” by Michelle Crawford.  It’s a great book about a family who moved to Tasmania, and started a new life there.
  • Spring!  I know there are people who absolutely love winter time, but I’m not one of them.  I tend to hibernate during winter, come up with new designs ready for my SALA exhibitions, preparing for a crazy spring/summer season.

Hope you have a great week!
