In conversation with...

...My Blog.

Me: Umm, hello blog

My Blog: Well, hello! About time you updated me this week..

Me: Oh well, I know. But what to do; I am not getting enough sunshine, and.. 

My Blog: Not that I am particularly interested, but go on (blog sigh in the background)

Me: And, its so cold, there is so much fog, I can't see anything outside, I can't drive anywhere, and Mr. Shaking Head is traveling so I am bored, and there is no sun, and it's so cold..

My Blog: Whoa! Enough already! It's lovely to hear about your diminishing chirp factor, but I have a job to do here. Now, how about updating me, like pronto?

Me: What? Sure, I mean...sure, but I am feeling blue. i.e. when I am feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look..

My Blog: Hey hey! Do not sing that song all over me again! Here, look at this. It's one of your favorites. Get inspired woman, and get back to work.

Me: Ah, such is life. Song sung blue, everybody knows one. Song sung..

My Blog: Psst..hello, readers, wohoo, yup, you guys. Oh alright! Ladies and Gentlemen! That is polite, right? Now, can you please send some sunshine her way before I hang (myself)? Pretty please?

And yes, do take a look at her pick of rooms today...no marks for guessing the theme. 

Me: Well, green is a kind of a blue. They are from the same family. They are practically cousins. And then when there is no sunshine, green looks like blue. So there.

P.S: Me: Did you see what a bully my blog is? Let the sun shine, and I'll go and tweak its html - change the format, update the design, teach it a lesson! Just wait and watch.

Travellers and Magicians

Travellers and Magicians; Tales of a sea gypsy; Atelier; Indigo blue...

These are just some of the themes that lured me to The Society Inc., a eclectic store owned by Grazia's interior editor - Sibella Court, in Sydney. The store changes its 'theme' four times each year, and each theme transports the customers to a story created from products from real places, and imagined eras. 
The interiors and decor in these pics is reflective of the myriad magical themes, and yet has a very real, down to earth feel to it. And that is what I like about such decor - dreamy, but also very doable in your own home. 
Take a look at some of my favorites...

P.S: Thank you for your lovely emails! I am just about getting back to the online world after a super busy month and, a 4.5m fall-survivor laptop. If you have written to me but haven't heard back yet...I promise I shall get to your email and thou shall be in receipt of a corresponding reply soon. Within this week hopefully. If what you had written to me was urgent, and needed my immediate and undivided attention, please drop in a quick email again and I will jump into action.

P.P.S: Did I tell you lately that I love hearing from you?

2010...

...already?

well, Happy New Year then!

Sending some sunshine your way. It is so cold these days..brrrr

So, how have you been?

Hope you had a great Christmas and lovely new year celebrations

And are you back to work now?

Ugghh! The worst part of any holiday...the part where it gets over

I have been travelling, working and vacationing through the last month

Where? To Here and to a few more places

Came back home with a kaput laptop (don't even ask how!)

And guess what did I do as soon as my laptop got fixed?

I wrote to you! :D

I'll hop off now

But will be back in a couple of days

To kickstart the beautiful, and the exotic for the year 2010
