Life is Blooming (A Note from Corinne)

As I write this, Melbourne clings to its winter chill. But a subtle shift reminds me of spring's arrival. Here in the studio, nestled by the Mornington coast, I've been embracing the wait for warmer weather, experimenting with new colors and styles that capture the essence of renewal. Botanical formations are blooming with unexpected hues, while abstract designs provide an energy of fresh beginnings. I'll be very excited to share these new creations with you in the coming months. 
 
As we are about to enter the final quarter of the year, I know many of us feel that familiar tiredness creeping in. Amongst this rush, for me, it's all about finding pockets of joy and nourishment to keep my energy levels high.
 
Savoring the precious moments with our 18-month-old baby girl is at the top of that list. Those giggles, first words and phrases, and curious eyes discovering the world – they are reminders to slow down and appreciate each and every moment. Even as I type this, I can't beleive her second birthday is right around the corner, time just passes by too fast.
 
We're also embracing the simple pleasures of the Australian springtime. Lemony myrtle tea, warm and fragrant, is my go-to for a midday pick-me-up. I'm also planning a few short getaways around Australia that will round us out and provide some pockets of rest (and fun) between now and the end of the year.
 
May these simple joys inspire you to find your own moments of renewal and recharge as we transition into this new season. And as always, I'm grateful to have you on this journey with me.
 
With love,
Corinne
