High tea @orchard_house_kulnura. Highly recommend! High tea @orchard_house_kulnura. Highly recommend!
This year marks my 60th circuit of the sun; 33 yea This year marks my 60th circuit of the sun; 33 years since the Laundry King and I got together; 26 years since we got engaged and bought this home; 25 years since we got married; 22 years since we moved here full time; 3 years since his brain cancer diagnosis; and 2 years since he died in our bedroom overlooking the teal ocean. So much of my life is bound up in this place and he has left me many legacies.

The Laundry King was an accomplished woodworker and made this beautiful table out of recycled Australian hardwoods. We bought some pine chairs as a short-term measure. We never did find something more suitable. Until today when I took delivery of some new chairs made from blackbutt wood to match the table. They are perfect. I look forward to sharing many more meals around the table and jigsaws too.

I also have a collection of handmade cards including one from our 25th anniversary that features all 52 works from my weekly art project. Those works were part of my solo exhibition in 2018.
 
That same year @stephaniejoyhoughton had her solo  exhibition at Gosford Regional Gallery and I fell in love with her abstract teal and turquoise artwork. Fast-forward and I am thrilled that this piece was available.

I have been on a teal and turquoise kick since the Laundry King commissioned @lbjewelleryguy to make my teal sapphire pendant in mid-2023.

Other teal/turquoise things that make me smile include a card @sffeltworks; new salt and pepper grinders that go with LK’s 70s pottery; and a plate that I bought in Morocco after traipsing across Rabat my turquoise quest.

Teal is said to symbolise tranquility, clarity, and emotional balance. Similarly the colour turquoise represents calmness, clarity, healing, and open communication. Because its blue-green hue evokes the sky and the sea, it is associated with peace, emotional balance, and spiritual protection. 

This must be the place:
Home is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I’ll be, where I’ll be
