Summer Holidaydreaming....

It's January already wow how time flies... just a few weeks ago I was meticulously planning handmade Christmas presents & looking forward to a bit of r & r on the beach. Well the holidays are now but a distant memory and the new year is well & truly here... but before I say good-bye to sand between my toes... I still have my shell collection to admire and memories of the childish fun that going to the beach brings.

Our summer holiday began with a road trip to Avoca Beach for a family visit where we spent  a lovely week laying low and catching up. We then hit the road for a spot of camping on Cockatoo Island. This former jail colony was an interesting place to spend our time in Sydney and made it easy to explore beaches & surrounds by ferry. Especially fun was spending a whole day catching ferries every where and ending up at Manly's pretty Shelly Beach, stunning weather made it all the more memorable. To finish off this perfect few weeks we stopped in Byron Bay and loved the warmer water, perfect sand and yummy fish & chips. 


Now it's time to get back to reality, finish working on my New Year's Resolutions & the Ra Ra Superstar Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. So far this collection has a distinctly 60's vibe, but with a classic Audrey Hepburn less is more attitude. Stay tuned...
