bare.

I loved these sweet plants the first time I saw them at hanasho and finally bought one home last year. After planting it in a shady spot in the garden hoping it would fill it with pretty purple and white flowers I happily went upstairs. Only 5 minutes later I looked down from the deck into the garden to see how it looked but instead I saw Pochi with it in his mouth. cheeky! needless to say: that shady patch of the garden is still bare x

If you've not yet visited hanasho in West End {opposite the library}, please do as it is well worth the visit, Eba san has an amazing sense of aesthetic and an incredible eye for both positive and negative space. Each time I pop in he is working on a new project which could be anything from a wood block print to a test tube vase...I leave feeling inspired and grateful for knowing this soul!

leaps and bounds

I love this photo of Pochi!! He does this every Monday when the garbage truck comes..up and down he bounces ..I watched and counted one day - 19 times!! he tries his absolute best to bark when he gets to the top as well..watching him do this guarantees big smiles and laughter. I love my dog. Just wanted to share.

Pochi went to...

the beach....

and LOVED it!!

meet Pochi...

..the new member of our family.

Pochi 7 weeks

We've been talking about getting a puppy for at least 6 years now. At Christmas time we met one week old Pochi and his siblings at my parent's place. We quickly decided that it was time we finally followed through with our little dream of getting a puppy and chose Pochi. My parents kindly delivered him 2 weeks ago when they came to visit us and our life has not been the same since! It's better..much better! I've yet to capture him properly through the lens as he is always on the go and when he's asleep I need a rest as well. He is Border Collie crossed with Sheltie so he is not going to stay small for long. Anyway, I just wanted to share our new friend...
