Coming home is easier to orange hearted hugs.
Waterbottles posing as human being. chilly nights bearable.
We're a bit cute.

Its 3pm nap time. And its so hot, that this at home 'luxury' is a must.
and whilst I don't feel like writing. I know things things tend to spill hence forward as I look back over just these past 4 days.
Four days.
An amazing concoction of sweaty, smelling, serene, sincere and splendid events.
We've worked hard since 6am today, the library is coming together. I may well be the master of blue white wash painting. and the books are forming some kind of order. I will now know what NOT to do next time whence building a library from scratch in a boys home in rural Sri Lanka. Lesson one: Follow ONE system. Ahhh hindsight is a beautiful thing.
And amidst the fun of elephants charging at our jeep, hurtling down the crazy Sri lankan roads at Sunset- wind in face, I smile. Joggers on and this little miss scaled Mt Sigiyria, 45mins, but I could have done it in 30 easy. A rock fortress... stunning views of the entire region. The time and space called for quite contemplation, and swings in tree's.
So many other tales.
and yet for now, I am safe and sound, happy and peaceful. I should get back to cataloging and helping out.
Much love to you all.

Photos will come when internet speed is faster than the old 'click and make a cup of tea' bandwidth. Still, its the small things. xox

Don't ditch it! Switch it!
Well well well, I figured a clothes swap is a good reason to blog. Get me outta my perpetual blog lull. Sometimes there's living to be done, river bends to explore and kites to fly. ( yes its been v windy)
So i'd like first and foremost present the WHY before the HOW.
Lower Blue Mountains Roteract are going to Sri Lanka!! To volunteer at the Kathleen Kegal Childrens Orphanage. And, as always, we need your help! (http://www.kkcf.org/ Look see! Its beautiful stuff!)
This is where the HOW comes in... By promoting sustainable, recycled fashion, a fostering of community involvement and a good old Bake sale... we bring people together to say "titt for tatt "
Here we go!
Glenbrook Community Hall.
Sat 3rd March 2012.
9am-2pm.
Ladies and gentlemen ( Yes! This is not just for le ladies...!)
Heres how it works:
Step 1. $15 donation to enter swap event.
Step 2. Arrive between 9-11am to drop off up to 15 clean quality items such as: clothes, accessories or shoes
(Quality means: No holes, stains, smelly old clothes! Put yourself on the other side... would you be happy taking this item home??)
Step 3. Receive exchange tokens for number of items entered. You can bring between 1 or 15 items!
Step 4. Chill: Browse bake sale, explore Glenbrook, sit under a tree, drink coffee, early lunch, mosey, potter and tra la la. (This is when clothes get sorted into piles)
Step 5. Come back at 12pm for swapping time! Browse and try...Yet no need to buy!
Step 6. Exchange new items for tokens on your way out.
Step 7. Say goodbye to new friends with a bag full of new fun!!
FYI: MORE INFORMATION IS COMING SOON ABOUT DROP OFF LOCATIONS IN CITY AND UPPER MOUNTAINS. This will save you coming in early on the day! Handy handy.
Questions??
email bryanna.pearl@gmail.com
Call. 0422370083.
Oh yes! and donations for the bake sale are welcomed and (much!) appreciated. Feel like baking...? whack it on the table with a list of ingredients and the rest, they say... is history.

Maybe its time.
As the Jacarandah flowers fall.
The stars of Bethlehem burst
and the Hydrangeas say hello...
that i begin again.
begin at the start.
To say hello. To the www.
As i have much coming up...
and lots to share. Clothes swaps, things growing, oven heating, films screening... travel planning.
Sights are set to soar.
May we reconcile our winter differences dear blogger?
May I claim Summer for my own, for strength and clarity?
Yes lets!
I will keep you close you little wonder.
(self involved little wonder!)
xo ever loving, bryanna pearl

| Essentially, weeds. poetically, beauty. |

| My last years blue berry. Which was my muse on abundance and simplicity. Is LOVING being with mother earth... and is bountiful and beautiful. Ahhh possibly more than 3 blueberries this year. |

Operation: Art Department.
Fair thee well. Goodbye to the days of a student.
Tomorrow marks setting forth into the real world of...being a teacher.
Only for two weeks.
(thats enough for me)
A mere dip.
A casual cooling off.
Korowal welcomes me back with open arms.
and an empty art department.
A dip in the deep end it seems.
(lucky I'm getting good at treading water)
My blog entries are very boring these days.
and a little too... self centred.
(How unlike me....)
Will endevour to think bigger.
Get out of my little box of a world.
Abundance to you all.
In what ever form this may take.

Woolie Winter Wanderings
Right now i have so many hands in so many baskets.
that I can't even begin to write.
So i must get something out here.
and it comes in the form of a jumper.
Just to get things flowing.
Op shopping with a new dear friend. How many different ways to spell Kindred?
( ... and i know a few people that are going to try to answer this... Ge?)
I was being metaphoric!
And came across this piece of beauty... $12
A trip to burkenhead point...made me queezy (possibly the late night gins also)... But, this type of 'bargain' is much more my veggie patch.
--------------------------
It rains outside, Wanda jackson hums inside. Pj's at 12:30, thoughts of : hot showers, Wabi Sabi aesthetics, library adventures, a blank canvas and full heart.
Thanks world. I took a break from you. but im glad to be back. You're pretty good.

| Leunig asks us to consider that winter can be " a season to cherish the heart"... This is my heart cherishing. In jumper form. Ps. photos do this no justice. The thing is in full 3D gardening fun. |
