I remember being small, slightly chubby, covered in flour and sitting watching my mama make these on cold winter nights. They are dumplings that taste like home, that remind me of my mama and papa, and my brothers who live far across the seas. Caramel apple dumplings, how long it has been, How much I have missed you and how delicious you still are.
Until next time.
I am beyond excited to introduce my first ” HELLO STRANGER “, This will be a reaccuring post, introducing people that inspire me ( and I hope inspire you too! ) and that I also think are pretty neat.
Christen is a dear friend of mine, Living in America, But married to a good kiwi boy. We had the pleasure of a short but sweet time with them in the summer when they were visiting from the States. She writes and posts lovely outfits, DIY’s and more on her cracker of a blog Two Happy Hearts, always on my daily read list. And if that is not enough, she also makes beautiful, vintage inspired clothing with her adorable twin Kylie for their label Midnight & Dawn. Sheesh.

This is my first outfit post, and I am going to be honest, I am terrified. Thought I should get it out there. Start this on the right foot and all. Good, I feel a little better…. Now I wasn’t always a fan of anything but head to toe black. But I am branching out. My wardrobe tends to lend itself to a high amount of thrifted, with a few staples from places like Glassons and Cotton On, and speckled with some delicious high end. But I’m not going to lie, I get pretty chuffed when I work out the cost of my entire outfit for the day only cost me $120. Not too shabby.
Until next time
On a very rainy and stormy day, on the seaside of small town, I married the most brilliant man I know. Nathaniel. Now four years on, a few tattoos, wrinkles and one mustache later, her is still the most brilliant man I know, Still the love of my life, Still the babe of all babes.
Here is to another year of great times, hard times, laughs and home brew.
Love you Babe.
