something to add to the wishlist

Really loving these geometric animal prints over on Weekday Carnival!
These would look lovely in my studio... 

don't panic...

I think this sweet saying might just have saved my day/week. I've been feeling so stressed out lately, but somehow, reading this, it all makes sense. Thank you so much, Weekday Carnival.

Found it on Pinterest, unfortunately there is no link to the original source.

Hello Mowbray!

  

Some of the surveys that I sent out yesterday afternoon; if you live in Mowbray, you just might have found one in your letter box!

Be excellent to each other

 Just saw this over on Present&Correct - it made me smile and reminded me so much of this one that I saw in London two years ago...

Excellent words, definitely something we should all try and stick to.

Archived lives

I've been doing a lot of research in to the history of Mowbray (a small suburb of Cape Town, where I live). I spent a morning at the National Archives last week and as I was paging through files and files of photos of Mowbray and old Cape Town, I came across these portraits. There were no captions, except for their names, but apart from that, I don't know the dates or anything else. I'm guessing they are pretty old though, maybe from the 1800's or early 1900's?

I just think these are really special.
