shop {kate szabone}

i am a huge supporter of shopping local and i have found some amazing canadian artists on etsy. kate szabone with her self titled store is one that i visit often just to awe at the pieces she has created. 

her jewellery is the essence of simple organic elegance. kate has recently started using 100% recycled gold in some of here pieces and all the stones are conflict free. if it was up to me and not my pocket book i would have one of everything from her store. 

i will do a follow up when the custom one of a kind ring that i just purchased is ready and on my finger. and of course there is meaning behind the ring for me that i will share then as well. stay tuned.

consider the journey {linen}

until recently i was unaware of the origin of linen. but as my quest continues i discovered that it is indeed the fibers from the flax plant. the whole plant can be utilized for man made use which makes the idea of linen even more appealing. 

the final result of the woven fibers along with the way the fabric continues to improve with age all contribute to my fixation with all things linen.

one step

today i received the best present i could have on mothers day. my home sold so i am one step closer to making my way back to Oz. and with all the excitement that it brings it is a little bit sad to think of all that i leave behind. 

the house has been my home for only a few years but many wonderful events have occurred here including Os birth. i keep my memories and more along to make some more.

blogisphere

although i am very new to the blogging community. i have been pushed (just what i needed) into getting this all started thanks to the blogging course Blogging Your Way run by decor8. the course sadly came to an end the monday just past but it has been a wonderful experience.

along with all that i have learned there are some wonderful bloggers that i had the pleasure of sharing the experience with. here are a small handful of bloggers that have a delightful variety of things to say.

fresh365: vegetarian recipes! need i say more. this is a wonderful collection of new and interesting recipes that are sure to inspire anyone.

by gosh by golly: gaelana is a single mother, boutique owner, entrepreneur and so many other things while maintaining her idea of the good life. she shares all sorts of interesting finds. 

the red thread: australian artist lisa shares the things that inspire her work and some other really great discoveries, she always has new captivating finds. i am a huge fan of the little story book tiles she creates which would be great to fill any corner of your home. 

bondville: another great aussie blog. steph features australian artist, finds neat childrens clothing and so much more. 

i would definitely recommend having a look at what these ladies have to say.

freedom

the philosophy of freedom is the foundational work of  rudolph steiner. this is one of his earlier works put together is this book which gives some great insight into the basics of his philosophy. anthroposophy inspired many different concepts that bring the lifestyle full circle, the most commonly recognized is probably waldorf education. i think to understand the parts of anthroposophy that make it complete it is essential to know the root of it.

for me this really is so inspirational and another huge part of what i hope to teach O throughout his life.

resources: the complete work is available to read online as well. or on audio book.
