Hello!
We’re Katie and Reuben. We’ve been together since January 2005. We like crafty thing making, yummy thing baking and picture taking. We also like building blanket forts, eating vegetarian food, drinking coffee, dancing in the kitchen, reading good books, op-shopping (AKA thrifting) for vintage goodness and crocheting cute stuff.
In August 2011 we left our apartment in Sydney (Australia) in pursuit of a simpler, more mindful, more beautiful life. We now live in a little old house in lovely Bendigo (Victoria), with our two rescue kitties, Sebastian and Poppy, and our rescue puppy, Daisy. Our “new” home has squeaky floor boards, peeling paint, a giant lavender bush in the garden and lots of heart.
We dream of one day owning a place in the country, where we can grow fruit and vegies, keep chickens, spin knitting yarn and make jam. We also dream of travelling Australia in a vintage caravan, opening a little store and writing books, among other things.
This blog is our journal and a celebration of the little things that make us happy. In our tiny corner of the internet we share our journey and our attempts to live consciously, sustainably, creatively and joyfully. We hope to squeeze the very most out of our short time on this earth and live with purpose and intention. Our choices might not be the norm, but we are chasing our bliss.
We are very friendly so please don’t hesitate to say hello. Thanks so much for visiting us! You are lovely.
