Where we trod, a new piece in the Yamba Scandi Collection + a free gift tag printable
Sometimes inspiration comes from where somebody else trod before you.
Or…
you, trod with them.
Or…
just the beauty of the landscape.
I think it’s all that and a little bit more.
A few weeks back my folks came to town.
And we went here.
The Breakwall at Turners Beach Yamba.
It’s already been the inspiration for my Yamba Scandi Collection.
And I think there’ll be many more designs to come
from this spot.
It’s one of the first places we trod as a family.
The clouds and the rocks are different every time.
And we take all our visitors there too.
I saw this before…
In the rocks.
And trees.
This day,
we marvelled at the rocks and textures.
With new eyes,
and,
my dad said he saw this…
So I made it into these.
It’s the newest piece in my Yamba Scandi Collection
Called…
“Where we trod”… from the Breakwall at Turners Beach.
Was that a bison on that rock?
Or a dog?
Or a deer with no horns?
We saw many things on the rocks that day.
But I think it’s the people we were with…
who always BELIEVE in us,
AND…
where we trod.
together.

You should drop by next time you do a road trip up the coast, I think you’d love it here, but then I’m biased. I think it’s a dog too x happy weekend lovely.
Sarah, your eye for detail is amazing. Who would have thought, a bison-dog-elephant (that was my creature) on the rock. Great designs. xx

I love how you find inspiration, I totally see a scotty dog in the rock! Your kitchen & bathroom are looking good. We are moving to North Queensland on Friday and are renovating a house there so loving all the ideas.
Yay, congrats on your new move and glad you like the ideas. It does look like a little Scotty dog too. Happy weekend x
I love the way you see things….and the way you describe them. Bit poetic. And lovely.
