Life & Photography

Life’s been crazy busy this past month, I can’t believe we’re already in June! Thankfully the Melbourne winter hasn’t been too cold and even though there have been lots of rainy days we’ve also had a lot of really warm sunshine come through.

I recently attended a spectacular theatre show of Don Quixote performed by The Imperial Russian Ballet Company. It was absolutely wonderful with the highest quality of ballet we’ve all come to expect of Russian dancers. Their precision and energy was so beautiful to watch, as was their ability to light up the stage with their expressive faces and graceful movement. 10/10!

Then there were the beautiful sunsets! It was actually on the night of the performance that I walked to St. Kilda beach and saw the calmest water, smooth as silk and completely still in the distance. All the people there were silent, not a single voice came to mind and there we all were admiring that beautiful and serene moment when the sun crossed over the horizon. I loved the spiritual feeling within my soul that evening.

On other days there were picnics in the backyard alongside my gorgeous black cat, who was uncharacteristically thirsty and drank straight from the tap! Then the arrival of some wonderful snail mail from new international pen-pals, days spent wrapping our Mishka Collection greeting cards/sending promo postcards, more visits to the beach, dinners with friends at funky restaurants, rediscovering local parks and the beauty in nature, and not to mention dreaming of my dream home!

Life is going at full speed and I feel like I’m barely keeping up! I’m still reminiscing about my European travel adventures, my beautiful shop and the simple days of life in Watford, but I’m grateful for all the memories created in Australia so far as well. Enjoy your week!

 

We’re back in Australia!

Hi everyone! Thanks for checking in. We might be in a new country but we are still alive and very much excited about what’s to come here in Australia. I hope you’ll continue to support us and keep up-to-date on our progress here on the blog.

Yes, Graceful Avenue is back in Melbourne, the place where it all began for us. In fact I’m typing this post in the very room I first started sewing my pouches a few years ago! It feels kind of surreal to think about how many miles my products and I have travelled and how many wonderful customers we had in the UK. Thank you to all of you once more!

On a really exciting note, yesterday I placed an order for my professionally printed Mishka Collection cards to start production! I look forward to receiving them in October and then sending them out to all the Pozible campaign supporters who pledged their money towards the printing. Soon they will be available for purchase online and hopefully in shops around Melbourne.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new Mishka Collection cards I’ve created recently. Cheers!
