Coast

It's Thursday...

Snap, Set & Song day!

This week the theme is -

COAST

a Snap
Last weekend we went for another picnic to another new (to us) location.
We discovered Tannanbar, which is just south of Maryborough on the Fraser Coast.
It was simply stunning. And better yet, we were the only ones there.
It was like a deserted paradise.

a Set
I love going to the coast but only in winter, never in summer.
I hate the feeling of my skin burning to a crisp.
And as much as I love the sea and the sand, I do not like to swim in it.
I love to look at it, listen to it and paddle in it.
So this week's set is perfect for a picnic at the coast followed by some wading in the water.
After you roll your pants up and kick your thongs off, of course!
 
a Song
This week's song is another new discovery.
It has such a cruisy sound.
Love it!

Vintage

This week the theme is -

VINTAGE

a Snap
The only vintage things I own have come from my grandmothers and my husband's grandmother.
This is my most precious, my Grandma's engagement ring.

 
a Set
My Grandma's ring is from the 1940s so my set is inspired by that era.

a Song
And how's this for a vintage song?
The Andrews Sisters are so classic.
I love them.

Ceremony

It's Thursday...

Snap, Set & Song day!

This week the theme is -

CEREMONY

a Snap
I chose the theme of Ceremony this week because I love a good opening or closing ceremony for the Olympic or Commonwealth Games.
I was a bit disappointed with the London Games opening ceremony, but the closing ceremony was fabulous.
I've never been to any of these ceremonies live, but my husband went to the Brisbane Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in 1982 and saw Matilda, the giant winking kangaroo mascot.
Recently she has parked herself only ten minutes away from here at a truck and travel stop...also called Matilda.
We stopped earlier this year to show the kids and I was surprised how big it was
Look how little the kids look!

a Set
One of the reasons I loved the London Games closing ceremony was that it featured the best British designers and models.
For my set this week, I've chosen nothing my favourite British fashion icon, the Duchess of Cambridge.
This was her look for the closing ceremony.

a Song
The best thing about the closing ceremony was the music. So many great songs and artists!
Here's the list...

Our House - Madness
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction
Stomp
Imagine - John Lennon
Freedom - George Michael
Fashion - David Bowie
Little Bird - Annie Lennox
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory/I am the Walrus - Russell Brand
Right Here Right Now/Rockerfella Skank - Fatboy Slim
Money - Jessie J
Dymanite - Taio Cruz
Spice up your Life - Spice Girls
Wonderwall - Oasis
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Bright Side of Life - Eric Idle
We Will Rock You - Queen
Rule the World - Take That

My favourite? The Spice Girls...of course!

Winter

It's Thursday...

Snap, Set & Song day!

This week the theme is -

WINTER

a Snap
There are only three weeks of winter left (insert sad face here).
But we all know that winter in Queensland is practically non-existant.
Winter? What winter??
That is why it is my favourite time of year.
You've got to love daytime maximums of low 20s.
Perfection!
So, getting onto the snap...
I was tempted to use a misty, frosty photo that my brother took (with my camera) on the farm.
But I decided to go with two others instead...

A typical winter day in our parts.
This is where we went to play last weekend.
At Dicky Beach, Caloundra.

And just to prove I do really know what a real winter is like
the second snap is us in Vienna on Christmas Day, 2002.

a Set
I've always loved winter jackets, but there is absolutely no point buying one as I would never get to wear it here.
So this is my dream outfit for a cold winter.
Snowy white, icy blue and black accessories.

a Song
I loved the Bangles in the 80s.
They were SO good.
They still sound good now!
