About Me

Nanette: Murwillumbah, NSW, Australia; I blog as a record of my days, about the things I make and things I do. About ordinary day to day life, and people I encounter and places I go when I step out my front gate. I'm a creative homemaker and am passionate about my garden, chooks and cats. I'm a lover of anything vintage or retro, a gleaner, a knitter and stitcher. I actively support my community, local food producers and strive to live simply, sustainably and to walk lightly on this earth.
