I am sorry I have been a little quiet on my blog this week.
Have projects, ideas and dreams, news to share soon,
as well as time to reflect.
I love the curate gallery feature on flickr, and I thought I'd share here links to some of my favourite flickr images, much admired!

La Petite magazine! Feature and cover.
I am very pleased to be a part of the debut issue of La Petite magazine, both in a photo story feature, and on the cover as well! Amélie, my garden child
Amélie also liked seeing herself in a grand frame on the feature page. ♥
(... as well as in the photo story!)
Here is a peek at the first page of the Amélie Alice photo story:
... of which you can read La Petite for more.

a whimsical wish list
~ a {photography inclined} shopping wish list for my little girl ~
♥ more stripe tights
(she's outgrown them, and this just cannot do!)
♥ and rosebud hairties
(because hairties always get lost*...)
♥ natural coloured or vintage winter woollens or coats (now it's getting colder)
♥ and new classic style red shoes (as her beloved old ones are finally coming apart)
* These hairties were from Pumpkin Patch, by the way, who no longer have them.
We have lost one and the little roses on the second one have unravelled.
I see how they're made though! I thought about making some new ones myself but I'm not sure if my fingers can create such tiny intricate roses from tiny ribbon. Ha.

lensbaby teddy bear play
Because I am feeling nostalgic, here are some sweet afternoon images, from when my youngest child was seventeen months old.
They are all taken with a lensbaby, which is a very fun, soft blur, selective focus dreamy lens, i.e. a little piece of magic.
sweet
funny girl

here is a little photo story i wrote up a year or so ago, for her brother...
bedbugs ~ a teeny story
arrgh!
(This one makes her brothers laugh. Heh.)

Where are you going?
come back!
any questions?
Lensbaby.com
I have a lensbaby 2.0, which is similar to the current 'lensbaby muse'.
Mostly I adore lensbabies for thinking a little differently, playing, forgetting technically perfect and just having fun with photography. They are just so fun to use and see things in a different way!
More lensbaby posts, because my LinkWithin seems to not find them...??

What do children wear around the globe
I really like this feature by the wonderful kid's design blog, Bloesem kids, What do children wear around the globe, where people describe what some of the kids wear in their city.
The above designs are from MarMar in Copehagan, Denmark, and the owner describes the children's clothing on the street near her, and the second story in this post is from Hong Kong. Go see it!
I also enjoy reading about the kids in their city because the kids in mine dress, let's say, kind of boring and trademark this and that, and same as everyone else, which is mainly the average local clothing shop's fault. Their lack of range, imagination and stereotypes drive me nuts. Ha! This is also another reason we like finding treasures in second hand clothing shops. The variety and colour is a lot richer than the general clothing shop's 'everything must be pink for girls' etc cliches.
