What a beautiful sight to see.
Prudie's Pretty Little Wishes
welcome to my little jumble of lovely finds, thoughts, things and treasures.
I draw, sometimes. i daydream, constantly. i ramble, often. i love, mostly. I long to always jump in puddles, collect pretty little things, dress ridiculously, and frollick in daisy fields. my little head is in the clouds and i don't want it anywhere else.
Randwick cemetery
Beach days with my ladies.
Rock pool friends.
My favourite part of my walk to the station on a perfect day. The old brick works.
Splishy splashy Sydney afternoon.
Let the adventure begin.
My Nicolas and I have been ITCHING for a new adventure of late. As much as our home has been wonderful, and the small handful of people left that we care for are going to be awful to leave behind, I cant wait to start our new adventure, and close the chapter of the one we are living now.
If it wasn’t for this place, my Nicolas wouldn’t have crossed my path in the way he did and turned my life inside out and the right way up for the first time in my entire life. He has bought a sense of calm in a very loud world. I feel at peace and happy with him by my side. I don’t have questions, worries and doubts, we just are and I couldn’t be happier.
So in less that three weeks, we will be packing the final remains of our little home, scooping up our puppy and hitting to road to start our new adventure in a big city. ready for whatever the world has to throw at us together. Boy oh Boy I’m excited, sad of course, but ready.
I think over time Valentines day has lost its sentiment and turned into yet another commercial holiday, but this post secret video sure did make my heart melt.. I can’t say I am the biggest fan of Valentines day, actually, maybe I should say I have a love/hate relationship with it. On one side of the coin, I think its lovely that people all over the world take the time, thought and effort to show someone they care. It doesn’t have to be love, sometimes its just care. And every girl deserves to be treated with flowers. (unless she’s a bitch of course… then in that case, Fuck the flowers!)
But on the other side… I struggle to understand why we need one day to show those around us that we love and care for them. It should be every single day. And if you want someone to know, what exactly is stopping you? I feel as though it is becoming more of a parade than anything. I also struggle with the way in which it seems to draw a divide among people, it leaves some people feeling hurt, and alone. And no one should be made to feel like that. Never.
In saying all of this, I sat here watching this video and realizing that its valentines day for someone, any day of the year. Every single day people are spontaneously expressing their love, adoration and concern for others. Whether it is coming home early from being away just to surprise them because they just couldn’t stand being away; or maybe its making soup and tucking someone into bed when they are sick. Maybe its dropping every plan you have at the sound of someone you care for crying at the other end of the phone just to wipe away their tears. Love is shown every single day. Valentines day is just every other day on steroids.
So I am going to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day for the 14th, and every single other day of the year. I hope every single person knows that there is someone out there that loves and cares for you. And I hope no one ever feels alone. And if the 14th isn’t your day, maybe the next day will be. All we can do is show we care.
I do believe my mother and I have the same smile.
By golly my grandmother was a beauty.
Oh and this little Pretty! My Delightful little lady Hannah sent me the most adorable little illustration of our little family. I love it so very much and It has found itself a home on our dresser. I am so very lucky to have such marvelous, precious people in my life.
A lovely lady by the name of Missy snapped up these photos of my wonderful fella and I recently for no particular reason and I just love them. I haven’t made a personal post in ever so long so I thought I would post these, as well as a little ramble of nonsense.
Life has been rather flustered of late. It has been a whirl of interstate trips, frequent hospital visits in whatever spare time I can find, researching, planning our new adventure and life for the year to come, starting new learning adventures, and exercising our pretty little lady all the while avoiding the swooping Magpies (who have successfully attacked me twice now). I have neglected being tidy and organized, and have left it all for future Prue to deal with. future Prue hates present/past Prue for dumping piles and piles of clean laundry in the spare room to die because the sheer thought of folding, sorting and hanging makes me want to cry a little.
Well, I am off to pack my little bag and travel interstate for the second time in less than two weeks to celebrate my best friends engagement and pregnancy. I am ever so excited to feel her baby bump for the first time and celebrate such a huge and exciting milestone in a wonderful persons life. I will miss my pretty little loves so very much while I am away. But I will be home before I know it.
