Melbourne Sundays.

Melbourne is made for Sundays.

I spent today in slow motion. My folks were in town but they hit the country roads just after brekkie. So I spent the morning tinkering about (my favourite thing to do, as you know) before heading to Chellis's to work on some creative stuff including the logo for my soon-to-be-launched Found by Francoise antiques co. It is so darn amazing, loves. Jamie drew me a boat and it is ridiculous. So incredible.

We had some smashed avocado n toast for lunch after which I popped into Sarah's garage sale where I stole a white silk skirt to wear for the rest of the day.

I then met Lucy and Little One in the city to see The Histrionic at the Malthouse and then had some delicious dinner at Cookie (home to the above gorgeous French doors).

And, now, it's bedtime honeychildren. See! Melbourne. Sunday paradise.

Night, night. xoxo

I Can't Make You Love Me.

Happy Friday, lovers.

Seaside Days.

Golly, the rains are here.

I spent the past couple of days in Lorne, a beachside town south of Melbourne, staying at the house of a dear friend. It was so lovely to escape the city and catch up on some work while the sea raged outside.

At night, I kept forgetting where I was and would wake up wondering what all the noise was about, only to realise it was the ocean, angrily causing chaos in the darkness.

It was wonderful.

Bubble tents.

Wow. So, you know how much I love camping? Well, designer Pierre Stéphane has created these super-awesome bubble tents and French hotel Attrap’Rêves has planted them in the Bouches-du-Rhone forests near Marseille.

Imagine waking up in your own snow globe under those gorgeous trees. Mon dieu. Forget camping, I want to live in one!

Chad VanGaalen.

I love this. Thanks to James for the tip.

Myoung Ho Lee.

This is just one amazing image in a series by young South Korean artist, Myoung Ho Lee, which challenge our concept of reality and environment. And, they're just freaking beautiful.

Hall Homes.

Oh, Sunday. It's here. I've had such a glorious weekend.

Yesterday, I was up super-early to go over adventuring north of Melbourne. I met up with my terrific parents at an antique market in a wee spot called Tolmie where we wandered about before heading to Mansfield for a picnic lunch.

Then, on my way back home, I quite literally did a crazy skidding-off-road move when I spotted these two gems hidden behind some beautiful trees.

They were right next door to each other, and both obviously loved by someone. I wish they were loved by Frances of course. I was imagining myself in the blue-doored one with dear friends in the green-y neighbour and the parties we would hold in the compound. Oh, the fun we would have.

I hope you too made some random discoveries on your adventures this weekend.
