I was actually really excited to edit these. Just last week I won a copy of this amazing photoshop add on called RadLab over on Savannah’s blog Maie Dae (who is from Atanata. Her blog makes me so homesick sometimes). I am absolutely in love with it. It’s really nifty for adding that little bit of definition to an already amazing photograph and is so simple and easy to use. James took these incredible portraits when I went to visit him during his lunch break on Saturday. He really is getting good at this whole picture taking stuff.
It was a gorgeous sunny Saturday and we spent James’ lunch break walking through the Kingston market which was busteling and full with early summer’s harvest. I really love how everything in this town is so accessible and there is always something happening along the water front in the summer. We bought a mini lemon pie and shared it with tiny spoons on our walk back to his work. I love simple moments like this when we can just hang out together, it’s fun and beautiful and reminds me of how lucky we are to be where we are and with what we have.
Love really is a beautiful thing and I definitely take it for granted sometimes. I can’t imagine my life without so much love and so much joy. I am truly thankful.
When you walk in the door you are greeted by a darling little vintage, local craft and fair-trade, antique shop. You can also pick up some local eggs or cheeses while there.
Walls of aluminium siding hide a small and well organized modern kitchen.
Inside the tea room, there are are a few little tables with mismatched chairs adding to the charm.
And a little self portrait for you here. My entire outfit was thrifted for under $15, including my brand new with tag still on 3 inch espadrille wedges that I thrifted for $3.50 fro mthe recent 50% off sale at Value Village. I am quite pleased with myself.
Then of course I had to include some photos of the gorgeous little Yarker waterfall. I cannot wait to go swimming and had to fight my natural instinct to want to climb down so my toes could find their way into the cool water.
