There's been ups and downs, and at times it has been difficult. We try to find time every week to do something fun and different (to us).<br />
<br />
A few weekends ago, we visited two different markets in two different suburbs. Saturday we went to the <a href="http://www.glebemarkets.com.au/" target="_blank">Glebe markets</a> where our very talented friend <a href="http://www.iamjika.com/shop/" target="_blank">Jessica</a> had set up her stall selling her beautiful handmade silver jewellery. I've known Jes for a good few years now, and she is a beautiful soul. Her jewellery is special to us, she created our wedding bands and my engagement ring.<br />

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ameliaherbertson/20482099621/in/dateposted/" title="Weekend"><img alt="Weekend" height="530" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/428/20482099621_7777b8a5df_o.jpg" width="790" /></a> At this second hand book stall, I found a book I have been looking for called <a href="http://juliacameronlive.com/books-by-julia/the-artists-way-a-spiritual-path-to-higher-creativity/" target="_blank"><i>The Artist's Way</i> by Julia Cameron</a>. It has been recommended to me by several people, and as soon as I saw it Jessica came over and told me to buy it. We had no money on us whatsoever, and had been living on a very tight income since moving to Sydney, so I reluctantly put the book back down after flicking through the pages. The next week I found the very same book in my letter box, hand delivered by Jessica who had bought it for us after we left. I was so moved by her doing this, such a thoughtful act of kindness. This is just the type of person she is.<br />

On Sunday we visited other friends of ours at the <a href="http://www.rozellemarkets.com.au/" target="_blank">Rozelle Markets</a>. They have a clothing stall, and also sell fruit and veg. They are very generous and lovely people, and they gave us a huge haul of fresh fruit and vegetables to take home. To two people who had been living pretty much on toast for weeks, this was the most wonderful gift.<br />

After the markets I popped down to Customs House where the <a href="https://whatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/events/bleu-blanc-rouge-french-festival-at-customs-house" target="_blank">French Food Festival</a> was being held. My brother and his girlfriend had stumbled across it that morning, so I joined them and ate cheese and drank wine in the winter sunshine.<br />
<br />
I am so grateful for knowing such lovely and generous people. We have both been blessed with generous families and friends who have also helped us through this rough patch in our lives.<br />
The whole weekend was a lesson in gratitude, and made me very happy to be taking this new step in our lives.<br />

trying to make the most of our days. We
went to Clovelly Beach on the weekend for fish and chips, and also in the hope of maybe
seeing some whales pass by on their migration route to warmer waters.<br />

There were plenty of birds to photograph though. I know many

My lovely mum made me the most beautiful terrarium for our new home. The last one she made for me became rather overgrown after three years and had to be dismantled. As I've mentioned, my parents both have green thumbs and spend a lot of time in the garden on their bonsai and terrariums.<br />
<br />
This one has a tiny deer nestled amongst the greenery. I'm still trying to find it a happy place where it gets enough light, but mostly I keep it in my studio on my desk. It is very much in the way in this spot but I like having it there to look at and remind me of home.Amelia Herbertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16987148856579345836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688607752944770053.post-8661298707381126752015-06-18T20:04:00.001-07:002015-06-19T00:26:08.237-07:00New Stockist<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ameliaherbertson/18318819494" title="Wholesale card order by Amelia Herbertson, on Flickr"><img alt="Wholesale card order" height="520" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/337/18318819494_dd0700fd36_b.jpg" width="780" /></a>

A lovely holistic health centre called <a href="http://www.purebotanicals.com.au/" target="_blank">Pure Botanicals</a>. As well as a naturopathic dispensary and clinic, they also stock a range of natural and eco products - soy candles, essential oils and creams. I'm thrilled for my cards to be stocked in such a beautiful place.<br />

I have added a bunch of new items to<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeliaHerbertson" target="_blank"> the shop</a>. I've been so inspired by the different foliage and plants around Sydney, and have been painting lots of tropical palms and ferns.<br />
<br />
Lately I have had so many ideas, and haven't been able to paint fast enough. Painting has been coming really easy to me, the paint flows off the brush right, the colours mix well and the paint hits the paper in the right way. For whatever reason, this only happens rarely!<br />
<br />
I am trying to make the most of this burst of creativity, as I know it doesn't always last long, and soon enough I will be struggling for inspiration again.<br />

My Dad is a bit of a hippy, and a nature lover like me, and when we were little he taught us to respect all living things. He would show us praying mantis, spiders and other creepy crawlies and taught us to look but don't touch these insects. As a kid (and still today), I would be traumatised if I saw another child squishing bugs for the fun of it.<br />
<br />
When we were toddlers, we would all love helping out in the garden. I remember Dad teaching us about earth worms, placing them in our little hands. I would help dig holes for seedlings, Mum would take them out of the pot and put them in the soil and I would fill the hole and be gently reminded each time not to push down so hard and compact the soil, which I always seemed to do.<br />
<br />
This little praying mantis was a lot smaller than he seems in the photo, the leaf he is on is only a couple of centimetres long.<br />

The <a href="http://ameliaherbertsonblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-in-rain.html" target="_blank">garden comes to life in the rain</a>. All the colours become so vivid and fresh. These pictures are from my parents house on a recent trip back to visit. The 2m x 2m herb garden is over run with parsley, tarragon, thyme, oregano, mustard leaf, rocket, chillis, and still has room for a large lemon tree with a tiny volunteer begonia in the shade beneath it. I'm always inspired by this garden.Amelia Herbertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16987148856579345836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688607752944770053.post-70289651361236285842015-04-27T19:00:00.000-07:002015-04-27T19:00:01.185-07:00Autumn<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ameliaherbertson/16986716850" title="autumn2 by Amelia Herbertson, on Flickr"><img alt="autumn2" height="480" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8713/16986716850_d825d3fa6d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
I've been painting Autumn leaves for a lovely little commission. Autumn in Sydney isn't the same as Autumn in Orange. I'm craving the crisp, cool and sparkling clear blue skies, and I'm missing the leaves changing to firey reds, yellows and oranges. And the smell of wood fires in the air.<br />

I have recently moved to the city from my hometown in the country. Our town was not too small, and the suburb I live in now reminds me very much of Orange. Aside from the big obvious differences, there are lots of little things that are almost novel to us now, although I'm sure we will be used to them soon enough. I'm almost used to the big jumbo jets taking off nearby and flying overhead. And the banana trees, yuccas, frangipanis, bougainvillea and other seemingly exotic plants that don't survive the Orange frosts.<br />
<br />
There is a wonderful mix of nationalities living side by side, and I don't think we will ever tire of all the different restaurants. One thing I cannot get used to is the enormous Sydney cockroaches. They crawl all over the exterior of the building at night and, I presume, all over the inside while we are asleep. I've been fastidious about cleaning and food hygiene to the point of obsession so we've managed to keep them at bay so far, meaning we only see one inside every couple of days.<br />

Our new home is a little unit in a small complex. We have been pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of our new neighbours, as well as the larger community. People here have stopped to introduce themselves and say hello, they stop their cars to let you cross the street and give a wave if you let them into traffic. I was not expecting that people living in the suburbs of Sydney would be friendlier than some of those in the country.<br />

In Orange, my parents have a wonderful leafy garden and I worked at a lovely little nursery. I have found that I am missing being surrounded by plants all the time. I'm an anxious person a lot of the time and being around nature soothes me.<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ameliaherbertson/17172600102" title="P1011114 by Amelia Herbertson, on Flickr"><img alt="P1011114" height="480" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8701/17172600102_e9d326792f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
My parents have brought some of my pot plants from home and we now have a little balcony garden going on. We have parsley, basil, thyme, spring onions, oregano and peppermint as well as spinach, rocket and strawberries. Also a few succulents from home and a couple more that I have propogated from small cuttings found here and there - not stolen, I promise. I also have some cress and alfalfa sprouts growing on the kitchen windowsill.<br />

I've collected some chilli seeds from this seasons harvest, and hopefully I will get some seedlings which will turn into strong plants next season. I did this a couple of years ago and they did really well.<br />
I know it's way too early to be planning summer crops but I'm looking forward to warmer weather when I can grow tomatoes on my little balcony, and I hope to try snow peas or beans also.<br />

My nephews are outdoorsy, nature loving boys. They helped me by taking many photos of mushrooms for me to use as references for my <a href="http://ameliaherbertsonblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/forest-feather-art-exhibition_8.html" target="_blank">art exhibition</a>, along with their parents (for whom it became quite a competitive obsession), on their trip across Australia.They are all very kind and generous, and the youngest of them gives me the most wonderful gifts. He has given me beautiful feathers and leaves, a round yellow plastic counter with an intricate pattern that he came across somewhere. Whenever he gives me these presents, he tells me he thought it might inspire me with my paintings.<br />
<br />
He has lots of ideas, and is incredibly in tune with nature, collecting and growing seeds, finding insects. He notices everything, this boy. I remember driving with him in the car one day in winter, and he remarked on all the birds nests in the bare trees by the side of the road. He was only three or four at the time and I remember thinking how kids always notice what we adults overlook.<br />
<br />
He collected these shells for me, and I received them last week. I have never seen such beautiful shells! Each one is special. They have the most intricate patterns and details and I plan to do a series of paintings featuring them. My family often give me little presents like this. Postage stamps, stones, scraps of pretty paper, seed pods, leaf skeletons, birds nests (thank you Mum, Dad and Chris!). Gifts like these mean the world to me, because it shows how well my family understand me. Thank you Isaac! x<br />

Since <a href="http://www.homelife.com.au/magazine/country+style" target="_blank">Country Style magazine's</a> Christmas issue went on sale last week, I have been busy printing, packaging and posting orders to lovely customers and stores around Australia.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the opening night of <i><a href="http://ameliaherbertsonblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/forest-feather-art-exhibition_8.html" target="_blank">Forest + Feather</a></i> (and those who were there in spirit!), as well as all of you who have visited the gallery last week to see my exhibition. I've been truly touched by the support and love of so many people, especially my brother who surprised me by coming from Sydney in secret to be at opening night. I can't say how much that meant to me, and it was such a special night.<br />
<br />
My amazing boss Libby presented me with this <i>stunning </i>arrangement of flowers yesterday to congratulate me on my exhibition. The photos don't do it justice, it is the most beautiful arrangement. Thank you Libby!<br />

I'm still preparing for my solo exhibition 'Forest + Feather', which means painting lots of mushrooms, leaves and rocks. My little studio has been filled with feathers, clumps of moss, stones and mushrooms for inspiration.<br />
<br />
Today I'm having a little time off to have lunch with family and hear about their adventures travelling to the centre of Australia and along the southern edge of the country.<br />
