baking // gingerbread christmas trees

The most delicious gingerbread I've ever eaten! Letizia and I were the House Elves (she was Dobby, I was Kretcher) and we made 3 batches of gingerbread under the watchful eye of Jon (and Ivan who was our supervisor), while Craig and Ivan put together a shoe rack. Over 100 screws screwed by hand! Then the next day the House Elves and a bunch of friends all descended upon the little house to decorate the stars and turn them into Christmas trees!

music // angus & julia stone @ royal festival hall, london

i saw angus & julia stone last week at london's royal festival hall. they're one of my favourite favourite bands to see live and gave me goosebumps and tears again! we were surrounded by aussies and it felt like a little bit of home was in london.

i wondered why this video of my had almost 3000 views and then realised it was because angus & julia had posted it on their facebook wall. explains a lot!
