25.01.2022 So that worked! I havent been drinking much soft drink lately but the other day I was completely craving something fizzy like a can of coke. Instead I chopped up and froze an orange in an ice cube tray then put 3 or 4 cubes into a glass of soda water.... it did the trick with far less sugar! ____________________________________ #sodawater #orange #icecubes #jar #glass #lesssugar #ageejar #agee #diningroomtable #vintage #stool #midcenturymodern #rubberplant #home #stayinghome #stage4 #lockdown #melbourne

24.01.2022 Gold Hearts & Silver Stars . Well that took all of 15minutes. More like 2years & 15 minutes!Finally turned some iron on transfers I had here at home into patches. Initially the plan was to iron them straight onto a jacket however decided using black felt and making patches was a much better idea, now they will be much easier to move and reuse if they dont work on the jacket they were intended for... .... #ironontransfer #irononpatches #patches #gold #silver #sequins #heart #star #diy #blackfelt #make #do #reuse #getshitdone #getstuffdone #craft #iron See more

24.01.2022 Locked down & walking in 3070! . 1hr of (fresh air)exercise a day inside a 5km radius....I can do that! . Over the next 6 weeks Im attempting to walk the boundary of Northcote (and a few streets in between) Im going to have to do this in stages due to the time limit but plan to take photos along the way. Take up the challenge and walk your boundaries - masked up!... ____________________________________ See more

24.01.2022 Home Studio...its all about the light! A kitchen window, an ironing board, painted pieces of MDF, a reflector, a little tripod and a picture facing backwards, oh and an iPhone - let the games begin! Its quite easy to set up a little photo studio at home, and sure, I wont be photographing chairs of anything very big, but Ive got lots of little things, like these old glass KIWI suede cleaner bottles I want to take photos of, and my little set up will suffice. Will remember to cover the ironing board with something like a white sheet to avoid awful colour casts next time.

22.01.2022 Its Spring 2020 - my favourite Melbourne Season! Although this Spring is starting like no other Im feeling pretty positive and optimistic. Ive been listening to @robdialjr podcasts most mornings over the past couple of weeks, and listening to inspiring podcasts has become part of a new morning routine. Today I had a great conversation with a friend who has been working on a new exciting business project, we talked about starting, getting momentum, keeping going, and not ...fixating on an idea being completely perfect before starting. It reminded me of some great advice I got before starting posting on Instagram just start, post something, it doesnt have to be perfect ____________________________________ #spring #motivation #newseason #newbeginning #justpost #juststart #goals #doesnthavetobeperfect #walklocal #northcote #3070 #boundary

21.01.2022 Throwing it back to the beginning of the year and my last shift at Heide before lockdown. . Remember being completely inspired by this collaboration between Jess Johnson @flesh_dozer and Australian fashion label @romancewasborn . While Im making the most of this opportunity to slow down, stay at home, and work on a few projects, Im looking forward to getting back into the gallery and being inspired by amazing art on a daily basis.... . #jessjohnson #fleshdozer #terminus #australian #fashion #label #romancewasborn #collaboration #collaborate #heidemoma #art #contemporaryart #artgallery #melbourne #australia #newzealand #artist #inspiredby #inspiring #slowfashion #slowdown #stayhome #tbt #throwback .

21.01.2022 An orange laminate chest of draws from Japan.... Yes please! Last week on my mini road trip I picked up some great quirky pieces literally straight out of a shipping container from Japan, which was recently released from quarantine. .

21.01.2022 T E N Had fun putting this together (a while ago now) with little treasures found & collected over the years... although it took awhile maybe it’s time to finally spell out green balloons, or go crazy and complete the rest of the alphabet! #vintage #collection #ten #flotsamandjetsam #bitsandbobs #treasures #foundobjects #collectibles #trinkets #myphotography #styledbyme #getcreative #alphebet #letters #numbers #words

19.01.2022 I really love these old Milk Glass Jars, and dont come across milk glass jars with lids very often... #vintage #old #collectable #milkglass #jars #rusty #lids #reclaimed #storage

19.01.2022 Nooooo, not a rubbish bin! Now happily walking my 5km radius an hour at a time, twice a day, and spotted this old petrol bowser being used to collect rubbish. Such a shame the patina is amazing, and Im imagining how great it would look cleaned up and repurposed somehow

18.01.2022 Its been a really long time since I went on a Ten Green Balloons excursion and although a buying trip wasnt meant to be the plan, thats what it turned into... whoops! . Didnt get these Balloon Molds, but picked up some great quirky Japanese vintage pieces literally straight out of a shipping container recently released from quarantine.. sometimes you just need to seize an opportunity and run with it! . #seizetheday #tengreenballoons #balloons #balloonmolds #molds #quirky #vintage #japanese #shippingcontainer #outofquarantine #runwithit #opportunity

17.01.2022 Behind the Fence! Loved watching and collecting Smurfs in the 80s so loved seeing this guy on a Northcote boundary walk today. After taking photos through the fence I saw an opportunity and went for it... that opportunity was an open carpark entrance but I still felt like a very Sneaky Smurf! _______________________________... @elzup @simplesime #walking #5kmradius #boundary #northcote #3070 #6weeks #northside #walk #staylocal #wearamask #staysafe #mentalhealth #myphotography #fence #barbedwire #brickwall #streetart #smurf #smurfs #sneakysmurf #80s #80sicon #hannabarbera #lockdown #1hrdailywalk #1hrdailyexercise #1hrdaily #melbourne @ Northcote, Victoria See more

15.01.2022 Sometimes getting a little lost can be rewarding!

06.01.2022 Wonky house!

03.01.2022 Time for a deep clean - old school style! Old Cloudy Ammonia & Meths bottles... . As we begin another 6 weeks of Stage 3 lockdown here in Melbourne, its time to get stuck into a few things I didnt get started or finish last time. Taking a photo and posting everyday was one of those things, so here goes, a photo of old bottles I have here at home. . #vintage #old #amber #brown #glass #bottle #bottles #cloudyammonia #meths #methylatedspirits #photoaday #myphotography #styledbyme #photography #melbourne #lockdown #getstuffdone #photoaday #oldschool #oldschoolstyle

02.01.2022 The Spirit of Ecstasy! From rusty grunge to Rolls Royce motor cars and everything in between. Loving the contrast, walking Northcote and staying completely within my 5km circle is proving to be an interesting way to spend an hour a day.
