Visconti Castle in Vogogna, Italy
by Krista | Oct 23, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
There's something about a medieval castle that always intrigues and delights me. I want to know who lived there, what they ate and wore, how they spent their days. When the castle is a 14th century Italian one, the discovery is even better. I discovered such a castle...
Celebrating A Year of Recovery in Australia and A Giveaway
by Krista | Oct 21, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
This month is my one year anniversary of moving to Australia. It crept up on me unawares and I can hardly believe it has been an entire year. And what a year it has been. If I was scared boarding the plane to move to Europe, (click here for story) I was absolutely...

by Krista | Oct 18, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
During my stay at the beautiful Italian country farmhouse, Casa Scaparone in Alba, Italy, I looked forward to breakfast every single day. Not once did we have packaged cereal or dry pastries, instead everything was homemade and served with endless cups of just-made...
Koffie Verkeerd and A Winter Stroll Through Amsterdam
by Krista | Oct 16, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. Not simply because I have beloved family and friends there, but also because of its fascinating history and inimitable walkable-ness. I love this city any time of year, but there's something about late Autumn and...

by Krista | Oct 11, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
It has been pouring rain all day here in Queensland as I endure the throes of a ghastly cold with copious amounts of tea, coffee and hot, garlicky soup whilst watching Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries. On such a stormy day I always think of the Netherlands, so I thought...
Goat Raids, Colds and A Really Great Spring Break in Queensland
by Krista | Oct 9, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
I woke to a beautifully foggy morning, tree tops disappearing into the mist, everything wonderfully still and quiet. What a lovely way to end a holiday and return to regular life. Now the sun is shining, the sky is clear and blue, and everywhere I look something is...
Photo Essay: Autumn in Paris in Black and White, Part Two
by Krista | Sep 25, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Tomorrow is the start of my spring holidays in Australia and I'm so excited. I can't stop smiling at the thought of sleeping in and indulging in random creative projects that I don't have time for during the work week. Yay!!! So things will be quiet around here until...

by Krista | Sep 24, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
"There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris." Ernest Hemmingway "That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me." Adriana in "Midnight in Paris" “Paris is a...
