Cup Day! So significant is cup day in Melbourne, its designated a public holiday. Dress up, get your hats out and head over the Flemmington Race Track. Race starts at 3 pm.
Everyone is watching the Irish horse Septimus and the American horse Mad Rush. Apart from the regular challenges that foreign horses have; travelling to Melbourne, quarantine and climate changes, the horses and their foreign riders have to run the track in the opposite direction from Northern Hemisphere. Poor things! Regardless, the locals are labeling the competition as "The European Invasion"

While researching vintage kitchen equipment for my current project, I came across this charming site:
La Tartine Gourmande, written by a well travelled French expat stylist living in Boston with her Irish-American husband.
Etsy find! Fantastic rubber stamps from Sweetpapery. Sadly these two stamps are sold out but there is another fun one with cutlery.

Great gift for the gardner in your life- I'm sure they will look very charming once they are weathered. Be sure to write with a waterproof pen! Link to Simplemente Blanco. The main site is charming with the leaves blowing off the trees. Happily I don't have to experience that quite yet given that I've lived through two winters in a row.
