Tuesday's Tune

I'm adding a new regular feature to this blog.

On Tuesdays I'm sharing a tune.

A new song that I love.

Or an old one that I can't get out of my head.

If you've played some music on your blog this week, why don't you link it up here?

Or you can join the fun and make your own Tuesday's Tune post.
 

I've heard this song recently on an ad for House Husbands.
I love the haunting melody
and Delta's amazing voice.

 

 

 

Happy listening and have a great Tuesday!

This week the theme is...
 

 

It's the 100th week of Friday's Fancies
and {av} wants us all to throw a party!

As luck would have it
today
is my birthday
so I'm throwing myself a birthday party!

I've added the pressie from my kids
(the gorgeous butterfly bag that I'm going to use as a camera bag)
and the present I'm hopeful my husband will buy for me...
Kylie's new album
on vinyl, no less!!
And the rest is just fanciful wishful thinking.

Hope you enjoy my birthday party and...

Happy birthday to ME!

My Birthday! featuring t strap heels

Jacaranda

my Snap
It's jacaranda season!
My favourite time of year.
Our town turns a sea of purple.
So purple that a little boy said to his mum,

"Doesn't God know trees are meant to be green?"

my Set

My set this week is inspired by the gorgeous colour of the jacaranda flowers.
 

Jacaranda featuring lolita lempicka perfume

 

my Song

Another new discovery, a great folkie ballad.

Wordless Wednesday

I snapped this little butcher bird on a walk around my mother-in-law's neighbourhood on the weekend.

I'm loving this song at the moment.
I've gotta say I'm not so keen on the video, as usual.
Why can't bands make good music videos anymore?
Anyhow, "Sam and the Womp" are a British band but the lead singer, Bloem de Ligny is Dutch.
Don't you love her sound?
A bit Bjork, huh?
And a bit of brass is always a good thing!

Friday's Fancies - Costume Prep

I'm thrilled to have found (through Wendy's blog) a new fashion linky to join...

 

 

on Alison's blog {long distance loving}

 

This week's theme is

 

Costume Prep

 

and is meant to be a Halloween costume.

 

But as we don't celebrate Halloween,

Alison said we could just go with the colour scheme of orange and black.

So that's just what I did...

 

 

Birthday

my Snap
On the weekend we went to our niece's 21st birthday party.
This is a snap of the birthday girl's boyfriend lighting the candles.
 

 

my Set

This set is what the birthday girl wore, her present from us and other birthday party items.

She's a country girl through and through so I love that she wore a pretty dress with cowgirl boots!

 

Birthday featuring pendant jewelry

 

my Song

Our niece's name is not Helen, but this is such a great birthday song.
