...And another excuse for me to stop the uni homework I'm supposed to be doing and show off my pretty pictures. This time I went to Nannup for 3-ish days, which I was a tad bummed about because I missed out on going out with Ali J and Niina, two very beautiful and creative ladies, to a group exhibition of local indie artists, of which Ali J was one!!! Please go to her blog post about it, she has the pics of her delicious work and of other things. I love reading her blog. Plus they got awesome haircuts and now look like indie-godesses. Nevertheless, heres my pictures of the holiday, prettied up with poladroid.
the kitchen mantle, i stayed at "poppy cottage"...hence the tacky plastic flowers, hehe.
kitchen again, this time i really liked the red of the saucepan.
steps at the back of the cottage, with pine trees and such. quaint.
these two are from inside the little "chopping wood room" that was attached around the back of the house. there was a lovely vintage mint-green that didnt really come through when i altered the images, oh well.
taken in the "community park" area. it reminds me of how european down south is, it's like a big southern hemispere forest. Ferns, oaks, pines, blackberries, deciduous trees. sigh. so pretty.
and yeah, this one of the walls of the cottage. the whole place was painted mission brown. most horrible colour in history of the world when used on buildings.
Gosh it's beautiful down south... I knew this before, but every time I go there again, I'm struck anew with the forest-y woodland vibe about it. Over the weekend I was part of a family holiday to Prevelly, a small beach town very near to Margaret River. Amongst other adventures, I went too far in at a surfing beach (without a board) and got dumped about 6 times, worked on my uni assignment, consoled my mother because she had to drive with a noddy wheel for the whole trip (which means a speed limit of eighty and lots of angry motorists behind you) because we got a flat tyre, and the Mazda only has a noddy spare, and hung out with Buddy, my second cousins' (who were with us on the holiday) German Shepard. He's a huge goofball and sook, which weirds me out because my image of German Shepards is one of the nasty barky bitey ones from TV and such.
I also took some photos, and made them pretty with my new favourite photo editing program, Poladroid. It makes Polaroid shaped and contrasted images from your digital ones.
----clicky clicky to see a nice big non-blurry version :)
