I don’t know about you though my weekend just flew past! Timothy O and I hit the bitumen and got out of the city early Saturday morning to go visit our beautiful rural wedding location.
The drive was rainy, cold and foggy and I loved it all! One of my super skills is knowing where all the secondhand shops are in all directions, (just like rockstars who have girls in every city!) so the trip meandered along all day. Apart from some new treasures we also picked up local produce, firewood and sweet homemade jam… I’m sure made by some lovely aproned lady somewhere in a gorgeous country kitchen who loves listening to talkback radio!
We then ascended up the mountain trail to our wedding location, passing wild lemon trees, highland cows, dusty pink foliage and classic wintery landscapes.
Sunday morning was a little crazy! Timothy O and I met up with my family in the city to hunt down a suit and bits for my father for the wedding. I think it only took about 30 mins. Us Rosenlund’s tend to know what we like and what we don’t like. Bamm, Bamm, Bamm, Done. We then had a rather informative conversation with the helpful French Antoine at Louis Vuitton about hairdresser John Nollet and the history of the classic LV trunks. Random! Thanks Antoine!
We then came home and celebrated the suit success and I moved onto battling the printer to address our exciting wedding envelopes going out this week, while Timothy O and Coco hung out.
That was it!… Not a paint brush in sight!

Sounds like a corker of a weekend! But no mention of the parsnip soup – did you give it a miss??? I love Coco – but I think you already know that. xx
I made it last night with the local parsnips I found – it wasn’t very photogenic, though very delicious!. x
inspiring pix Kara. sounds like the wedding is coming together nicely. love those ‘dancing grasses’.
enjoy your week. x
Thanks Sarah – it is coming together slowly but surely! ha! You have a good week too! x
Love the cows!!!
Me too Maleena!
50kg of potatoes and woolly mammoth cow.. Your weekends are AMAZING.. Where were those spuds when i was pregnant and needing mashed potato for every meal?
Ps.. I recently had a confession from my girlfriends drunk husband (at a wedding) that he tagged a whole heap of people in his dusty obscenity riddled instagram comments.. I think you were a victim and I’m mortified and very apologetic.. I could just strangle him.. x
That’s ok Katherine… maybe that’s why I have had an insurgence of instagram followers lately! ha x
Ummm.. Or that maybe your pictures are drool worthy and amazing.. Maybe.. ;) x
rural weddings are the best! we got married in a tiny little village in country nsw – there were four churches and three pubs and that was about it! how exciting, it sounds like it is all coming together, hurrah!
I think they are too Lillie! Your wedding sounds gorgeous! No distractions, except the landscape itself. x
