Lady loves…
* Hot chocolate
* My callous covered hands. I like to think they tell little stories about the pretty jewellery they helped to make.
* Gilmore Girls. It is truly spectacular. I particularly love Rory’s commitment to the late nineties sartorial palette of brown paired with pastels and the over rehearsed banter between her and Lorelai. It’s genius.
* Chilly evening swims with friends, paddling up and down the lanes catching up on the days events.
* People who go out of their way to help you.
* The yearly Ikea catalogue. Swoon.
* Young men on bikes. Wearing trousers and lace up shoes.
* Chandeliers.
* Dressing in beige, cream, and pale pink.
* That this is my 800th post on Smaggle! If only I had some champagne…
Lady loathes…
* Having twelve jobs because that equals twelve group certificates which equals a total disaster at tax time. Grumble.
* That it’s too cold to sleep.
* My recent addiction to Vegemite. I was a fierce Promite activist for years until I started living with Vegemite eaters and I slowly changed my preference through utter laziness. I feel so disloyal and utterly powerless to stop this Vegemite invasion. This is only exacerbated by the fact that I think Vegemite is delicious.
* When my GPS sends me from Fairfield to Footscray via ST KILDA!!! I know that only Melbourne readers will get this but seriously – Is GPS ‘Karen’ on acid?*
Love Lady Smaggle

* Equivalent for non-Melbourne readers – it was like going from the North of your city to the North West via the South. Yeah. I need to get back to basics and get a map…

Congratulations on the big 800! I’m having a glass of wine for you. 😀

Oh I am in total agreement with your love of young men in lace up shoes, and am starting to love pale pink even though I find it difficult to wear.

I love hot chocolate too. And Macarons. And Cheesybite on rice cakes!
I am loathing not being able to get the washing dry in this damp Sydney weather. And having two cats depressed about no sun to sit in. They constantly crawl into our bed to get warm!

You should see my boy ride a bike while wearing lace ups and suspenders. He looks a lot like this guy, and it’s just delicious (starting at 0:38)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf8NMB-Id7Y
And I totally share the love of Gilmore Girls. In fact, each time I settle down to make some jewelry or embroider, I pop one of the seasons on (that or Freaks & Geeks). Makes the time fly by!

Congratulations on the Vegemite!! Now I like you even more 😉

– the prospect of my love’s delicious bolognese when I get home tonight

I love that it is your 800th post… Huge effort and I have loved everyline line. Congrats!!
Aside from that I love hearing the rain on the roof when I’m under a blanket, that the weekend is here and the boy is flying me home to see my family… What a keeper
I have very little to loathe right now and that’s just another thing to love! 🙂

On the whole “Karen on Acid” GPS comment. Yes, she is on acid. I hail from the States, and I think the problem is Karen, as she definitely also has issues with directions here… I’m pretty sure she thinks that to get anywhere in the whole country, you have to go through Manhattan, NY…
