happy new year happy little campers! hope you all had a marvellous time ringing it in and shaking it out as we said goodbye to 2009.
i think i'll start off 2010 by telling you about my friend lady ship. as her name might suggest, she is one elegant gal. lady ship also happens to make the most amazing silver lovely things, which i would highly recommend you take the time to have a bit of a looksie at.
and hey, while you're at it, perhaps you might like to listen to my mixtape of sailing, sea and salt inspired songs. because whether you're back at work or still on holidays, dreaming of a summer boat-style getaway is a wonderful way to while away a lazy hour or two. ahoy! and don't forget the kwells xx

song to the siren - this mortal coil
super gorgeous and sad song originally by one, mr tim buckley. many a cover has been done - this is my top pick, as well as a super rare and hard to find extended version by the national. too super hard for katie dazzle to find today unfortunately!
ship inside a bottle - kylie auldist
kylie's new album 'made of stone' has a rip-snorter of a summer vibe, and this is my top pick from the soulful lady's latest offering. don't forget, kylie is performing in sydney at days like this! festival this sunday 10th jan - there may just be a few tickets left if you hurry hurry!
saltwater - beach house
i love this song for it's ability to conjure up images of salt encrusted eyelashes, sand encrusted limbs, and a big, fat summer smile in amongst it all.
ship to shore - theme song
the tv show ruled. this theme song rules. that is all.
i'm sailin' - mazzy star
perfect to listen to on your portable speakers while on the boat. the sun is setting, you're anchored in for the evening, and tiny little baby waves are gently lapping the side of your vessel. sigh...
girl sailor - the shins
contrary to popular opinion, when steering a sailboat, do you know it is actually your upper thigh muscles that get the workout, rather than your arms? cos of the grip factor, as all girl sailors will know.
turn this boat around - matt & kim
today is my first day back at work for 2010. i totally wish my boat was pointing back towards to the infinite and far, far away horizon.
islands - the xx
castaways! what three things would you take with you to a deserted island? paw paw ointment, cherries and beer for me.
down river - the temper trap
one of the only things getting me through today is the fact that my favourite aussie band of 2009 are playing at the enmore theatre this friday 8th jan 2010. huzzah!
