Yes I am the Aunty responsible for encouraging all things Princessy....

7 random facts released out into the universe

Deb from Cooking Up A Storm in a Teacup has very generously bestowed upon me a "Versatile Blogger Award"! The rules of the award are to share seven facts about myself and to pass the award on to someone else. I'm going to tag Ness and Handmade Romance, if they would like to play.

1. My Grade 8 History teacher, Miss Yanardasis, inspired me to adopt the peculiar habit of writing the letter "R" as a capital even when it really should be in lower case.

2. My "spiritual home" is Tasmania.

3. I own a spinning wheel and used to spin wool...but I am thinking of selling it as it is too darn hot up here for spinning.

4. I am very good at reading maps.

5. I love brightly patterned vintage tins or containers.

6. My favourite chocolate is too close to call, but would have to be between the "mud cake" and "caramel love" at Chocolate To Die For in Adelaide St, Brisbane.

7. The strangest book I own is "The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie".

Aunty Rel lets loose with camera

Aren't they just the most gorgeous kids?! I'm a lucky Aunty.

Go to GOMA

Last weekend we wandered down to the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane. At the moment there is a great exhibition - 21st Century, Art in the First Decade. We have been twice so far and still have only scratched the surface. There is loads of stuff to keep kids occupied...if you don't have kids, try to go during the week when it will be much quieter!

Here are some of things I liked...

Plastic bag installation

Can't resist colourful round things!

Who would have thought monotone lego could look so good!

Couldn't resist snapping this deckchair.

Griff The Invisible

Saw the movie "Griff the Invisible" last night - a wonderfully quirky love story - loved it! Great music too. http://www.grifftheinvisible.com/

Tiny Wings

Strangely, embarrassingly, but secretly pleasurably, I am addicted to "tiny wings".

phone fun

Well I have ditched my years old phone and joined the ranks of the "smart phone" users...this morning I have had fun playing with a retro camera app...my cat is extremely adverse to having his photo taken...he steadfastly refuses to look at the camera!!
