Horsey horsey

Horses are back with a vengeance! I remember my first love for horses, when turned four or five and got a My Little Pony for my birthday. Unlike some of my friends and cousins, my passion for horses was short lived, but it's easy to see how people become so obsessed with these beautiful creatures.

Milk from a Thistle - Sophia Silk Skirt Stallion Print

This is a skirt I marvelled over on my walk home from work, at Harry and Gretel in Leederville a few weeks ago. The print kind of reminds me of the majestic portrayal of horses in the movie Black Beauty, a film I adored in when I was about 8.

Horses Stampede by Florence Broadhurst

I'm reading the story of Australian screen print designer Florence Boadhurst at the moment. She began her career as a screen print artist at age 60 proving to us all that it's never too late to start something new! This print is one of her early prints from the 1960s but all of her desings are amazing. You can buy them on fabric, wallpaper and even floor rugs.

This was the My Little Pony I got for my 4th or 5th birthday. I found the photo online (I don't think my mum kept mine). I remember thinking he was the prettiest toy/horse!

From the family photo album.

That's my brother on the horse. My mum's the lady in the blue pants in the background and I'm the baby she's holding.
