Bonjour mes belles. I have fallen en amour with those delectable little treats we know as macarons. I’m kind of obsessed.
Confession: before I came to Australia, I’d only admired them in the beautiful photographs I’d seen around the internet, and rolled in great, great envy of those who could get their hands on these delicious baked sweets. Oh, but how that situation has been remedied! A few weeks ago, at my new favourite cafe/bakery, I tasted my very first macaron. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it was love at first bite. Lame pun intentional. I’m pretty much in love with them. And now that I’ve actually had a few (and by a few, I mean oh… perhaps a dozen… self control, I do not have you when it comes to baked goods), I feel justified in doing a ginormous macaron inspiration explosion. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately since I could spend hours searching, there is no shortage of beautiful and mouth-watering macaron pictures to be found online. Grab your napkins! You’re about to drool.

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.

Ten artsy-fartsy things that are cooler than cucumbers.
Massive Ice Wall by Jeremy Miranda
Because it’s the perfect combination of beautiful and terrifying. (And I have a strange fixation with ice and snow.)
