a big truck!

uncle isaac called this afternoon and said he would be unloading a huge amount of timber from his truck at a new block, not far from our house and asked if joseph would like to watch... so i loaded him into the car quick smart and drove him over there, and it was so worth it! he giggled with delight, pointed away and loved every second of it.

he is so so so obsessed with things that go... and trucks are so high on the list right now. he often says truck and points as they go past, so it's no wonder he was so thrilled to have had this great outing today!

your dream job

i saw this on facebook earlier this week and realised in one of those moments of revelation, that i would have to do just that. create my dream job. there are so many things i love, and i am working hard to ensure that one day i am happy doing something i love, but one thing is for sure, it's not something that is already out there.

i have a dream... of being able to have a job where i can help others to make things beautiful. using beautiful things, old things, things that were maybe used for something completely different... once upon a time. mum and i have a love for vintage, reclaimed, repurposed, upcycled, handmade and all of the likes. it has been in discussion between the two of us, that one day we would love to have a shop together, showcasing all the above... as well as being on hand to style parties, events, even the little everyday things - just in general being able to make things beautiful.

i am researching, pinning, finding inspiration... and hoping to yet make this dream a reality. mum is so talented, with such vision and is someone i know i could spend all that time with, and not be tired of her. watch this space - because although my dream job does not exist... i fully intend to create it.
