Woodroffe gallery

So this is what I've been doing all week... editing, editing and editing. Working through a wedding as well as Roxby family sessions, trying to make sure we're ready for our family holiday to New Zealand for a week, keeping on top of bills and housework. Ahem. To a point ;) Well, we leave on Tuesday for Christchurch, I have already booked dinner at our favourite restaurant on Wednesday night and have a list of areas and shops that will be fun to check out (L'il Magoolie was a great source!).

In the meantime, the Woodroffe gallery is the first one finished from the Roxby sessions... I *heart* this family so much, I was so comfortable with them and they had me stayover  the first night I was in Roxby as well as for dinner on the last night I was there... there was so much fun and crazy and joy and love poured into the session as we tried to outrun the rain (unsuccessfully) but were rewarded with the most fantabulous rainbow...

Read Tatum's gorgeous words about the session here. It all makes me a bit teary! All very feelgood really :)

OK so it is super hard to choose favourites, but here are some highlights. I also chose a few others to highlight along the way on the Curiouser facebook page.

On Polkadot Lane

At the start of the year Kell mentioned that she wanted a brand for when she is ready to sell her handmade goodies online or at markets or whatever... a bit of cafe brainstorming (my favourite kind) and we came up with a name. Reflecting her ongoing love of polkadot patterns, and the lane that she lives on, Polkadot Lane was born.

First drafts of the logo started flying around a couple of months ago, and in the meantime Kell was, you know, having a baby and playing around with the sort of things she was making. It has only been within the last few weeks that I really got stuck into it, spent a lot of yesterday pulling it together, and the result is that it is ready! Yay!

Introducing Polkadot Lane, complete with new blog, madeit store (will have stock soon, promise!), Facebook page and cute widgets for linking from your own blog! Why not take a stroll On Polkadot Lane and let Kell know what you think :)

Loves love

I really like Amy Seeley... the first time I bought a cd from her website, she sent me some postcards and was excited to be sending her music to Australia :)... and the lyrics, so sweet.

"You are one of my favourite things...
You are like a fairytale world that's come to real life"

Also enjoying "From Above" by Ben Folds, lyrics by Nick Hornby
