Blackbird singing in the dead of night...

If you have not heard Sarah McLachlan's rendition of that wonderful Beatles tune you reeeeally must. The vocals are spectacular although riddled with sadness. I do love a good ballad.


I proudly wore my great nana's black plastic birdie brooch today, and just wanted to share it's glossy prettiness. It was found last month in the spare room of her home when we discovered and rescued a pile of her belongings. Despite the ridiculous "bird-craze" going on in oh so many shops of recent, I still find myself drawn towards these winged creatures.

I wonder if she ever wore it?
