Tulip - interesting bunch of flowers we would make he he. Handbags - no strangely enough, I dont have a thing for handbags, a certain gift I once got turned me off bags and I got rid of a lot of them. But yes when I buy them I like them to be the real deal. I favour the Aussie brand Oroton for bags and wallets etc. I do have some lovely leather ones made by Filfax (strangely enough they make the kind of smooth leather ones I like) but I never use them because I never seem to have the time to take everything out of one bag and put it in another one. My beautiful Jordan gave me one for my birthday and I always use it. Good job she knows exactly my tates to a T. Well made and quality - bit like us he he. So glad you finally left me a message. Actually I am unsure if it will be you leaving the stamp on the grassy knoll or the other way around. I am relying on your horticulture skills, Tulip!! Big Time. Take Care and France and your photos, just unreal!!!

Oh yes Lilly I love the best quality linen and towels ..feels sooo luxurious. Even if not a millionaire I insist on these luxuries.
Fendi is my everyday perfume but Oscar de la renta transports me to beautiful France.
Handbags! Lilly you made no mention of them? I just looove quality leather handbags ...big and usually expensive!

Yep the Passport is well overdue for a few exotic stamps ... I wonder if its possible to get stamps from the grassy knoll??

Horotio salt - Oops, I just realised that I can't live without my electric toothbrush either I forgot that little luxury) so I guess I'll jsut always carry a lead pencil with me in case I get stranded on a desert island and the toothbrush can be part of the three that turn up in the crate...see when my house nearly burnt down in bush fires I saved my linen and Shakespeare prints first...not the most logical of folks but know what I like,

Lilly - i'm a terrible procrastinator so i know how hard it is to do things that don't come so easy for you. I love the things you love, the simpler the better sometimes. I really like this post.

Pixiemadison - thanks for stopping by. I find it hard to get into detail because I always have to see the big picture in everything before I can get to the detail. Frustrating when time is of the essence. Yep, I kinda had to hang in there to get paid. And you are so right about the blogging bit I could just go on and on and on. love it!!!!!

2008-05-24T12:25:00.000+10:00

Horatio Salt - oh gosh you figured out I am a shallow piece of work he he. Well that is a great question. If I was stranded on a desert island and could take 3 things they would be 1. Sunblock - being an Aussie, the need for sun protection is ingrained, I put it on everyday regardless of the weather - I guess I would 'cook' on an island so it would be an essential for me. 2. A great big chunky lead pencil 3. A great big pad of unlined white creamy gorgeous paper. I could draw, write, journal and send notes in bottles (or your toaster when you work out there isnt any electricity on the island). But I would hide my mascara somewhere too - then again I kind of know how the Egyptians made their makeup so would be able to improvise on an island!I know what you mean about toast - I hate bread but love toast - people look twice when I say I want a toasted salad sandwich - I like crunch in my life don't even ask me about lettuce...literally my favourite thing to eat with everything.. thats a whole other story.. Thanks for stopping by - love your kind of brain!

2008-05-24T10:27:00.000+10:00

Wow that's great! Good for you for hanging in there and getting it done.I guess you kinda had to huh? Those big papers are hard to suffer through sometimes. Isn't it funny how when we have to write, it just isn't as much fun as blogging!

btw it sounds as if you would make a perfect camper. :)

wow. what a post. i feel like i know you better no...

2008-05-24T03:51:00.000+10:00

wow. what a post. i feel like i know you better now. i had a thought while reading it. if you were stranded on an island like tom hanks in castaway, and a big wooden crate floated onto your shore, what 3 things would you hope were inside it? (assume your basic survival and food needs are being met already)

after just a week, i'd be hoping for a toaster and a loaf of bread. (somehow i could plug the toaster in on my island. i freakin' love toast!)

and for item # 3, i'll take catch-22, cuz it's a book i can read to the end and then start at the beginning and do it again...

Matt, we women wouldn't be without men (well most men). Its just we like to talk alot and guys dont get that (you have sisters you know). I do like understated things, classic tastes and even my food I like plain. I hate sauces and ornate food. Without the distractions. A phone with calorie burning features - my gosh. I am telling you hedonism is a healthy thing. I am trying to be kinder ot myself. Sounds like you are going to have fun with the walkman. Are you into IT, I am going to get a new laptop but dont know where to start, they all look the same, except the MAC, and as much as I crave for that kind
of simple elegance and sheer beauty again there is NO WAY in Hell I will do it. Thanks for stopping by.

2008-05-24T01:43:00.000+10:00

Well, I'm not sure if I should comment or not, being male (and a source for most of the world's problems) lol - I had to take a shot at you - but, anyway, that was a very interesting post. First, I'm happy for you that you got through the 5 days of hell with your sanity intact.

But you do seem to have some definite tastes in all sorts of things. I think the "plain", instead of patterned, linens and the white only towels says a lot about you. It says "simply stated elegance" without the distractions. I can't comment on the earrings (not my thing, you understand) but a lot of the music, and definitely the beach and the waves I can relate to. I finally decided recently to give in to the MP3 craze and I got a Sony Walkman phone with FM radio, mp3, walking and running and calorie burning features and every darn thing you can think of. I even bought an additional 8MB chip to load more music on, to which I had to buy an internet subscription to Limewire so I could download all the music I wanted on it. What can I say - when I finally give in to something I go all the way. Sounds like you do too. Great post!
