Broome seems to be an extremely creative place. Musos, painters, photographers, textile artists all seems to love this place.  Its isolation – 2000kms from the nearest city (Perth, Western Australia) and its location on the outback coast with stunning beaches, seems to be a magnet for creative types.

If you go up there, each Saturday morning you can go to the Broome Markets. They are a hub of creativity, sounds and sights. We headed there on the Saturday morning with specific goal – to check out my school mate, Katrina’s stall.

Katrina and her business partner have embarked on a creative business venture, sewing adorable appliqued baby and toddler clothes. They are selling loads of these gorgeous singlets and bloomers.

My favourites were these “Stairway to the Moon” Singlets. How cute are they? And a great momento of a trip one of the most beautiful places on earth.

So, if you are up in Broome, go to the markets on a Saturday morning and pick up a mango smoothie. Say hi to Katrina for me. It was great to have a mini school reunion and meet up with Jenny, Katrina and Ros for lunch on Friday. It’s not hard to see why they love living in Broome.

And yes, there are still more Broome photos to come. You have no idea how inspiring the Australian outback coast is.

Our trip to Broome was filled with friends, love, happiness, sunshine, good food and laughter. It would be hard to have a better holiday. What really inspired me was the breathtaking landscape, the red dirt, the white sands on the beach, the huge expanse of blue ocean meeting the sky.
And I am in awe of these sand flowers. They make me want to paint, to print fabrics, to take photograph.

These flower-like patterns are made by the tiniest of crabs. The crabs make underground tunnels by rolling up sand into little balls and arranging it above ground. The crabs are smaller than the tip of my little finger.

Can you see the tiny little crab in the photo below? How perfectly camouflaged!

Hope you enjoyed these photos. There are more to come in the next few days. At the moment my days are filled with memories of Broome.

I have been gone a long time. I know I promised jewellery but May just went. I have a good excuse for not posting in the last week. Here it is….

I’ll be posting loads of great photos in the next few days.
