I'm not sure if it's the Portugese blood in me - or simply a love of colour - but when it comes to decorative tile work - you'll find me salivating. I dream of having a large and stately entrance in my home one day, decorated with colourful floor tiles like these. Don't these make you want to dance!
I'm sure that you know how much I love flowers - particularly when they are snipped from the garden. When there are no flowers to snip - then I go for a bush cutting instead - sometimes natives, sometimes gardenias or even an agave in a bowl makes for a lovely arrangement.
I love that every morning - when I'm making my way down from the farm to my favourite coffee nook in Byron Bay - I pass a multitude of bike riders (mostly girls in gorgeous floaty dresses) on their way to work in town. Part of me wishes that I lived in town too so that I can get around on my bike. How free - and earth happy would you be...
Blue and green - now they are the colours for me. They make me feel so happy, so alive. This green is just the bee's knee's don;t you think?
All pics from toast (of course!)....

Bike-riding is always so much better when OTHER people are pedalling. I do rather love the tiles though - they could also be fabulous in a huge eat-in kitchen.
beautiful thoughts.
I love Byron Bay i need to make a note to myself to go up and visit soon

Shannon,
We love similar things. How are you?
I found you via that savvy girl Alex Brooks.
I can't believe you're turning 40 already. Trust me, 40 is just the beginning of a new lease on life...

Green for me too please...
Beautiful Pics you are showing on your blog... :) Lovely inspiration... :)
Beautiful images and thoughts. It does not get much better than blue and green. Amanda x
I love the same things as you too - particularly the love of bike riding. It's almost impossible to bike ride where I live, but I dream of doing it too
I'm with you on the love of blue & green - they're just so calming & relaxing :)
I love the green too Shannon, it's so intense and bright. I'm thinking of painting my entrance area in this colour. I think that it will make me happy every time I walk in the door.
Portuguese blod??´m curious ...from what part o Portugal?
Hi Graca Paz,
My ancestors come from the island of Graciosa - a place that I've heard a lot about but never been to. A few years ago hubby and I took a trip to Portual - Lisbon, Oporto, Evora and all around the which I absolutely adored. I'd love to go back sometime - I felt like it was home.
