Oops… it seems I missed my dear blog’s second birthday! How terrible of me. It was on Sunday and I was apparently off in la-la-land gallivanting across the countryside and I completely forgot! Blog, I’m so sorry. How can I ever show my face around these parts again. (Insert dramatic motion of bringing my arm to my forehead here.)
So my apology is two-fold (hah!)… No. 1: Pretty pictures (always), and No. 2: A tribute to the number two. To two, a number which really isn’t all that terrible. In fact, two is quite an amiable number. You might even say, two is better than one.
Two cupcakes.
Two wolves.

Greetings from Down Under! The last few weeks of travel have been such a whirlwind, I don’t even know where to start. I’m having a great time so far, and I have a truck-load of pictures to share once I get a chance to sit down and sort through them. Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve blogged properly (over a month, going on two!), I fear I don’t even remember how any more. I hope no one minds if I cheat a teeny weeny bit this morning with a sort of “drive by” post. I’m so over-flowing with inspiration and things I want to share that I almost don’t even know where to begin. Consider this my “Today (a.k.a. the last 3 weeks) I’m Inspired By The Following Things” post.
Popsicles (a.k.a. “ice blocks” Down Under)

If asked for a clear cut answer on which style of architecture I prefer, I would say I predominantly tend towards modernism and/or minimalism. When it comes to architecture, I like clean, sleek lines, glossy surfaces, and bold, graphic punches of colour… most of the time. Like a true walking contradiction, I also have a warm and fuzzy place in my heart for all things ornate, excessively decorative, and a tad superfluous, ie: the total opposite of modern and minimal. Deep in the depths of my heart, I’m a little Marie Antoinette in the making. Give me organic, flowing curves, gold gilded surfaces, chandeliers dripping with crystals, and ice creamy shades of pink, mint and robin’s egg blue. Yuppers, give me a big scoop of 18th century French architecture any day and I’ll eat it right up and demand seconds Oliver Twist style. Please sir, may I have some more?
