Georges Dambier

I had to share with you some of the work of Photographer Georges Dambier.

I have been up until today unaware of his existence.

These photo's are Oh so beautiful and simultaneously make me want to go to Paris, time-travel, put on lipstick, don a pair of vintage bathers and learn how to surf, find that perfect little black dress, eat croissants and paint.

Hope they made you feel something too ~Love E xo

Some Precious Snippits from my Childhood

 With my cousins. I wonder what these flowers are called. Aren't they lovely?

 Doesn't my Dad look handsome? :) 

Two of my favorites of Nathan and I.

Wish I could pull off knee-high white socks now!

I can however, still pull off pink knitted cardies and actually own one much like the one I am wearing at 2 years old. Not sure what that says about my fashion sense. All I know is it goes beautifully with my floral 50's day dress :) ~E xo

Latest additons to Vintage Aesthetic

How amazing is this Linguaphone?!

It is a French language course on Records

The Introduction book has all sorts of adorable illustrations in it. I wish I could keep it (as usual) but I think it would be better off finding a home with someone who will use it so its up for sale on Etsy

Also up for Sale is this awesome 1960's Swimsuit

And these very old lace collars

I sold this one last week but wanted to share it with you because it is so beautiful!

As always, I wish I knew how to sow so I could of made a dress out of this one. Ahhh.. it looks so pretty in my mind! Oh well.. some lady in Germany is about to receive it and I'm sure she'll love it very much :-) ~E xo

Baby Love

With a little boy due to arrive well, pretty much anytime from now on, I've been going through some goodies I love. See if you can spot my fav booties. It's pretty obvious.

  

 

 

The Childbirth Classes are over! Which means birth is imminent!           How scary!  Here's some of Tom and I learning to wrap!

 

 We had the really tiny baby... wonder why they gave it to us? Hehe.

Random prettiness on my kitchen shelf

A drawing I did for Saskia

 My House is FULL of Chrysanthemum's! What a dream!
The ladies who sell them on the streets outside their houses only have a 3 week permit from the council to do so. So on Sunday we went to buy some and they were so desperate to sell that one lady gave me 4 big bunches for $9!!! Eeeeeeiiii!! So happy.
I particularly like these yellow ones and how it picks up the yellow in my drawing and the lamp.
The lamp and art deco milk-glass kerosene lamps (which I have used as candle holders) are not mine to keep :-(
 Zen bought them at Auction to sell on ebay but I get enjoy them in the meantime.

Another one of Zen's ebay items that I am temporarily enjoying

We had a Garage sale on the weekend so I sat outside and drew this girl from Rwanda in-between customers. This is gouache, watercolor pencils and charcoal on paper. To see more of my paintings and drawings click here.

We purchased this lovely artists proof etching 'Chanall Pierott' 3 years ago after the house we were renovating for Zen's parents sold. It is tiny and was expensive but we love it.

My cluttered dressing table.

I love this type of material used in retro throws. Does anyone know what it is called?
I got the purple one from a Salvo's in Whyalla for $5 and the green one is "on loan" from my Mum.
Thanks Mum! I'll give it back ......one day
