Is a golden dawn where you’ll never be alone,


She was given up to the notion 
Of temperate seas and Novascotian winters 


And nights dreaming by the firelight 
A solitary life, adrift upon the North Atlantic Ocean 


Where she could find the time 
To let the good times roll 



For all those who know how it feels to be alone 
Were you thrown to the lions 


Skin and bone but not afraid of dying alone? 
An old friend on the telephone 


Still eyeing the prize of a solitary life 
Where you could find the time 


She was given to claims 
‘Bout the state making gains.

Lyrics- Hungry Kids Of Hungary, Good Times.
Photos- A friend of mine took, 
Model- Mwa!


How is everyone? I'm good... nearing the end of my school holidays which is sad though! These are some lovely pictures a close friend of mine took with me and my typewriter. My father found it at the local tip shop, and I got it for only $10! I love it.  Let me know what you have been up to...

I don't know what it is about the movie Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger that made me like it so much. But I was so drawn to it that I watched it two times in a row! I really reccomend that you watch it. It's a weird kind of movie but that's what makes it interesting right? Anyone that doesn't consider themselves as normal will relate to it on so many levels. Oh and it is an Australian film :)
Has anyone else seen it?

my boy builds coffins,

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails,
 he doesn't build ships he has no use for sails.


My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor,
Kings and Queens them all knocked on his door.

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day,
but it's not just for work and it isn't for play.

My boy builds coffins for better or worse,
some say it's a blessing some say it's a curse.


My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame,
that when each ones been made he can't see them again.

Photos-Me. :)
Lyrics- Florence and the Machine.

I took these photos on an exursion down my street endeavouring to capture everyones curbside cleanups for my conceptual art assignment. My concern was 'junk' which soon turned into 'new life' and I quite enjoyed doing it. When you think about it, everyone labels anything that they think is no use to them anymore as 'junk', but really is it not just an object that has lost its use as one thing, but can be turned into another? It's about imagination. I havn't edited these photos at all, apart from some cropping and compressing, because I really liked how raw and organic they looked to begin with. Let me know what you think!

Also I have to apologise, yet again, for the huge delay in posting. I have had weeks of assignments and exams, however now I am free. Freedoms never felt so good.

What has everyone been up to?

Lots of love! B xx

you make my day,

“I can’t believe THAT!” said Alice.



“Can’t you?” said the Queen in a pitying tone. “Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.”


Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said, “one can’t believe impossible things.”


“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”
 
 
believe it, if you will, how much I enjoy your company on my blog <3

I heart little miso!


Little Miso has the cutest, jewelery I have seen in quite a while. I recently aquired one of these 'peepos' as a ring (I got the panda hat one) and I love it muchly! Most jewellery is beautifully crafted from wood, which my friends and I discovered today smells unbelievably yummy. Such a wintery, fireplace smell, which is just perfect! All of Janices Law's work is quite lovely and I suggest you check it out at her blog, website, or etsy. !

The year without you has gone so slowly,

Dear Winter,
I know you are really only one month away, but could you be coming any slower?
I mean, I am really prepared for you, I have bought boots, skivvies, coats, scarfs and tights and keep trying to wear them but alas, it is still to hot.
I miss the warm fires you bring with the hot chocolate and marshmellows. I miss the hot water bottles and layers and layers of clothes and blankets stacked on me at bed time. I miss your long hot showers and your porridge (only with honey and sultanas of course).
I am even willing to put up with the cold toilet seats that you bring and freezing tap water.
If you please, please come soon.
Lots of Love,
B
P.S- If it is possible, could you make it snow here too? Thanks,
