Hello!
We’re Katie and Reuben. We like crafty thing making, yummy thing baking and picture taking. We also like eating vegetarian food, drinking coffee, dancing in the kitchen, reading good books, op-shopping (AKA thrifting) for vintage goodness, crocheting cute stuff and cuddling our two rescue kitties, Sebastian and Poppy, and our rescue puppy, Daisy.
In August 2011 we left our apartment in Sydney (Australia) in pursuit of a simpler, more mindful, more beautiful life in country Victoria. We spent a bit over a year renting a little cottage in lovely Bendigo, before buying our very own house in a tiny rural village. You can read more about that journey here. Our “new” house was built in the 1950s and has been unloved for quite some time, so we are now in the process of renovating. You can see some “before” pictures here. We are so excited about making this old house a home! We can’t wait to build a veggie patch and chicken coop, plant some fruit trees and fill our little garden with flowers.
We 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. On our little piece 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.
