Adelaide Villa: February 2015
http://adelaidevilla.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
It's extremely hot here. After our chilly big 40th party a few weeks ago, the weather has (naturally) warmed up to the oven-like temperatures that we usually experience in an Adelaide Summer. This weekend we've spent it either in the cool of the house, trapped by the air-conditioning… or in the pool. It's been 40C both days. And it saves a lot of time when I've got a few letters or cards to send out. The stamps make for a good housewarming present too. This also lead to me deciding to clean all my silver.

It's Christmas at David Jones. All over Adelaide, parents are in uproar over the David Jones Magic Cave. The Magic Cave exists only in Adelaide, and is a childhood Christmas tradition stretching back generations to the Depression era. This year, David Jones has put on the Magic Cave as usual, but decided to drop the Magic. Don't worry though, they certainly decided to keep the Cave part. Elves hard at work in the former Magic Cave. David Jone's Christmas Windows in Sydney Via Glamourdrops blog. Our secon...

always in a southern state of mind: growing
http://alwaysinasouthernstateofmind.blogspot.com/2013/03/growing.html
Always in a southern. Friday, March 29, 2013. It's been a doozy of a week. Various emotions are going on. In my head and my heart. I keep thinking of how our life is so blessed. And how we're back in the routine of things. But how my sweet friend Emily's family. Is turned upside down. Their lives will never be the same and I'm sad for their loss. I keep thinking of her. How good of a mother she was. After her funeral on Wednesday. I dropped our twins off at a boy scout meeting. In the car driving around.

always in a southern state of mind: house in the 'hood
http://alwaysinasouthernstateofmind.blogspot.com/2014/03/house-in-hood.html
Always in a southern. Friday, March 14, 2014. House in the 'hood. Herewith my favorite house in the 'hood of the week. I'm not usually a fan of stairwells in the entry. But this one has me changing my mind. Looking back the other way. Let me be quiet and just let you enjoy. Who's ready to move in besides me? Little hitch in our giddy-up though. They go quickly here.usually within the first week. We were talking to a guy last week. Who is trying to find a house in our 'hood. He said they put in an offer.

always in a southern state of mind: the deepest
http://alwaysinasouthernstateofmind.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-deepest.html
Always in a southern. Monday, August 3, 2015. Let me warn you now, this is a long read. And its not DIY or shopping or anything fun and cute. Maybe I just lost you,. Maybe some just clicked away. Happy that you're here. I feel like I've started writing this time and time again,. I just never finished and never hit publish. Because I think I'm figuring it out. Let's back track a bit. If you've been around here for a while,. Or if you know me in "real" life. Then you might know I've been struggling. She ha...

always in a southern state of mind: did you know?
http://alwaysinasouthernstateofmind.blogspot.com/2015/08/did-you-know.html
Always in a southern. Saturday, August 15, 2015. School is just around the corner for us. I hope to be back to regular blogging then. Here's a couple of things I've been meaning to share. Did you know I am strangely drawn to sunburst mirrors? Like this new to me one. Just no place to put it. For the sales price of $135 and at 42 inches in diameter. I just might be willing to move stuff around. My sister Julie should totally grab this. I'm also obsessed with green geometrics. Then on One Kings Lane. Their...

always in a southern state of mind: back roads & good finds
http://alwaysinasouthernstateofmind.blogspot.com/2015/07/back-roads-good-finds.html
Always in a southern. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Back roads and good finds. Before I completely forget I thought I'd post pictures. From a favorite store {Toscoga} I stumbled on last year. During our annual pilgrimage to the deep South. Once I found it there's no going to this neck of the woods without stopping. Which is what we did last month on our way back to Texas. Its in the tiny town of Thomasville, Georgia. Well maybe not so tiny compared to. The no stoplight town that my dad was born in. Still don'...
