moondust

hello dears, i just wanted to stop in quickly to assure you that i'm still here. i've also decided to change the name of this blog if you've noticed, and you might also notice my header changing around a bit for the next few days as i can't decide which i like better. if you can rename me, that would be very nice :)

i'm a little bit overwhelmed with school work, but i promise to post something nice soon. there is no snow here yet. i was hoping for a narnia christmas.

i'll see you soon moonbeams

xoxo,

hang me out to dry

hello buttercups! is everything magical?

i'd like to start off by thanking the lovely tree castles and wonderlander for both giving me lovely awards! thank you so much dears ♥

hmm...7 things about myself...

- my favourite flowers are peonies, but i'd like if they smelled like jasmine

- i like to collect black high heels that i never wear

- when i'm sitting on the bus i like making up life stories for other passengers

- i would like to die my hair red ala florence and the machine

- i use to think that i could talk to the trees and the wind

- i'm attracted to all things sparkly, and especially eccentric christmas ornaments

- i would like to take a proper photography class

there we go :) i would like to pass this on to all of my recent followers and...the lovely seafarings and magical suzannah

i would like to see this so badly

peonies and roses

i've decided i would like to learn how to play the piano

or the guitar

and i'm going to start a big book and fill it with my favourite of mama's recipes and add my own magical ones as well, such as fairy cakes and milk

i feel very hopeful today

i want to do things and be everywhere at once

the sun is shining outside my window and the clouds look like the the sandbars at the beach in the summer

i wonder how people can just go from day to day without being amazed by everything that's around them

i always expect people to just stop in the street, look up at the sky and smile

that's how i feel

it makes me want to cry when i fall asleep with the moon shining on my face

when the sun slants through the trees in a certain way

when i see beautiful flowers

it's beautiful to be able to open your eyes and really see

miss alela diane and her lovely voice

i hope you are all having magical adventures

xoxo,

sara ♥

a falling star fell from your heart

hello moonbeams, i hope you are all well and are having the most magical autumns

i've been very busy with school and such, and time just seems to be going by so so fast!
i'm ever so sorry for being absent for so long

here are some pictures i took of my scrapbook and my 'little reminders' envelope

and here is picture evidence of the first snow we had here! it is gone now, but it will be back soon!

oh i am ever so excited for winter! to have warm cups of marshmallow cocoa, and go for walks under the street lamps with snow softly falling, to go tobogganing and ice skating with giggles and red noses, to dream of narnia and magical lands, and to knit soft pink and grey scarfs to wear!

the stars, the moon

they have all been blown out

you left me in the dark

no dawn, no day

i'm always in this twilight

in the shadow of your heart

this song has been constantly running through my head of late-so magical ♥

lately i feel like spending my pennies on the loveliest things!

after seeing this on do frog princes wear crowns? i've wanted it so badly!

i've also been looking at lovely picnic baskets for next summer, and i've somehow got the idea into my head that i would like to buy a gramaphone! it would be so lovely to go hunting for old 1940's records to listen to on cold winter evenings, to get dolled up and dance to jazz and big band music...

talk to me, tell me a story my lovely followers :)

the snow is softly falling

my dear rosepetals, how are you all? magical i hope:)

in an unexpected twist of fate i completed my 'get lost' homework! unfortunately, i didn't have my camera(and anyways the photos wouldn't have been very pretty). i was on a field trip for college and got on the wrong bus back!luckily it was the end of the day and i didn't have to be anywhere, but yes, i ended up going on a 2 hour tour of my city:) i expected myself to be terrified of it all,but i was surprised to find that i was quite relaxed and okay with it.over this past year i've changed more than i've realized, and i am happy with the person i am becoming.

this week i will assign something a little easier to do! i've done this myself already and i find it quite helps when you are down or blue. it is called a'little reminders' envelope. find an envelope(and mark it 'little reminders') and fill it with positive messages and things that you like about yourself on little slips of paper. whenever i am having a particularly bad day, i pull it out and read the messages, and they always make me smile:)

you are beautiful

you are loved

you are alive

♥

as i write this there is snow falling softly outside against my window pane
i am in love with the seasons

it is as if fall has decided to play winter for a day

i am cozy in bed listening to the music of pride and prejudice and reading 'i capture the castle'

i think i would like to be cassandra. to live in a castle on the english countryside, and have midsummer rites around a bonfire with garlands and roses in my hair, and fall in love with a boy that listens to debussy and reads poetry and dances with me, and go for moonlit swims in a moat where swans sleep.

oh dear

hello everyone! i hope you are all well! i would like to start off by saying that i am very sorry but i didn't get to do my homework! i'm a terrible student, i know! i've really been bogged down by school, and the weather here has become quite nippy, so i think that it would make logical sense if i made 'nuit blanche' fridays every two weeks or so. so hopefully i will have something up here before next friday with a new activity as well! this gives me time to blog normal stuff inbetween as well. i'm ever so sorry dears! however, i have taken some pictures lately...

"Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you on this earth. Sometimes you catch them. They can be the hands of the people you love. They can be your pets- pups with funny names, cats with ferocious old souls. The thing that keeps you here can be your art. It can be things you have collected and invested with a certain sense of meaning. A flowered, buckled treasure chest of secrets. Shoes that make you taller and, therefore, closer to the heavens. A suit that belonged to your fairy godmother. A dress that makes you feel a little like the Goddess herself. Sometimes you keep falling; you don't catch anything. Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you here. Sometimes you catch them. Sometimes you don't. Sometimes they catch you." — Francesca Lia Block

nuit blanche friday

♥ this is the most beautiful video i've seen in awhile ♥

hello sweets! today is my first nuit blanche friday!

for those who wish to participate, my homework for this week is to: get lost.

no, i don't mean it in a bad way:)

i mean go on an adventure, a quest, a magical journey someplace you don't know all that well. find a forest, a lake, even in the middle of the city, and just walk, dream, think, explore, maybe do a little dance:) and of course wear your most magical outfit! take pictures, and if you wish to, share a snippet of your fun on your blog:)

i will be doing this sometime before next friday. i'm excited and hopefully i'll have a magical time and snap some good pictures along the way.

p.s. i am by no means telling or expecting people to do this. i just thought it would be fun, and something i'd like to try, but if you do do it, that's just swonderful ♥

xoxo,

sara
