Druzy Agate
I put little stock in the healing powers of gemstones* but the glittering saturated colours of druzy agate make my heart beat just that little bit faster.


Geode Ring $98USD


Ice Queen Ring $98USD


Wild Watermelon Drusy $95USD

and the one that started it all:


The Druzzy Agate necklaces made and sold by the lovely Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere.

* and I doubt I ever will.

Ahh, only a day late ...

USS Missouri, Hawaii




(Craig is such a boy sometimes!*)


The stars indicate targets and the 289? the number of rounds fired.


I call this photo Alas, poor Capt. Yorick**.

* It's adorable. I love it.
** hee! I find it too amusing. Sigh.

Week Thirty-Eight

Sunday
Just before Midnight on Saturday I started making brownies for lunch on Sunday afternoon. The brownies were delicious and didn't last even 6 hours. One day, perhaps, I will remember to post the recipe.


Monday
A co-worker gave me a cupcake as a thank you for helping him on Friday.
It was delicious and worth the proof-reading and re-wording.


Tuesday
The beautiful poppies are dying.


Wednesday
I loved the light when I took the photo of my goat horns so I shot my nouveau Box Brownie as well.


Thursday
Kowhai, a golden flower at golden hour. A dark smear behind is our car.


Friday
Matiu/Somes Island seen from the train on the way home.


Saturday
Jayne finished her ball dress (she made it!) & I played photographer.

Like so many others, I wore my hair in a loose side plait. Inspired by Alexander Wang SS10.
I really don't like this self-portrait but I left it until Saturday and I really had little choice.
