Things here on The Acre have certainly been a little quieter on socials lately, largely due to lots of family moments taken in school break and now as the Festive Season approaches, new puppy, and most of all, I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with pottery.

For now, it’s Enjoying life one day at a time, embracing a slower acreage pace, cherishing nature and my surroundings, and exploring the beautiful world of pottery with my hands in clay.

And here’s my latest favourite! Started out as a simple little latte cup but somehow evolved into something a little more special, featuring two of my favourite things: autumn leaves and acorns. 🍂

There are still a few processes to go before it’s complete, but as I’ve been told in the pottery world, don’t get too attached to anything just yet… you never quite know what might happen once it goes into the kiln!

For now, I’m simply enjoying the process, learning as I go and embracing all the little surprises along the way 🤎

All the beautiful real-touch natives I’ve been telling you about have arrived and are safely tucked away, nicely packed and waiting for their time to emerge mixing in with raw natural beauty pieces.

Some days on the acreage, all you need to do is curl up on the lounge, watch your beautiful dog relax beside you, and listen to the birds singing while the soft rain gently falls outside. 🌧️🐾🌿

No plans, no rush, no noise… just the gentle sounds of nature, the comfort of home, and the peacefulness of simply being.

Sometimes, the most beautiful moments are the quietest ones. 🤎

Welcome, Saturday morning. 🤎

This beautiful chorus of life amongst the native grevilleas… butterflies dancing from flower to flower, tiny birds singing, the chickens clucking away, and Humphrey adding his own little bark to the soundtrack. 🐔🦋🐦🐾

Standing amongst it all with a warm morning coffee in hand, listening to the gentle chorus of life happening all around me. There’s something so special about mornings on the acreage.

And what a glorious Saturday it’s been… ending the day with a cool dip in the pool, surrounded by a snow globe of trees and the quiet of our little piece of the world. 🌿💦🤎

Some things are so beautifully made, you have to look twice. This beautiful Bottlebrush arrived today, and honestly, I had to do a double take.

The detail, the colour, the little flowers. It looks incredibly real. I’ve always loved our Australian natives, and Bottlebrush is one of those flowers that feels unmistakably Australian.

So today, I’m sharing a little glimpse of this beautiful piece, along with a few things you might not know about the Bottlebrush and where it comes from. A little piece of the Australian landscape, captured in a way that can be enjoyed all year round.

Welcome to The Acreage Collective 🌿

The constant movement and gentle commotion of birds playing, singing their chorus, and chickens living their best lives… nature’s very own television screen. 🌿🤍🐔

Introducing our latest native-inspired arrangement, filled with beautiful textures, earthy tones and a gorgeous mix of native-inspired blooms.
Pictured here without its wrapping and simply tied with a beautiful ribbon, so you can see how it looks when placed in your favourite vase at home.
Designed to be enjoyed in its simplest form and styled your own way, it’s a beautiful addition to a slow, considered home.

Pottery soothed the soul over this glorious weekend 🤎

There was something so grounding about sitting at the wheel — the gentle hum of the wheel turning, the cool clay beneath my fingers, the water slipping through my hands.

Close to the earth.
Present in the moment.
Creating with my hands.

For a little while, the noise of everything else seemed to disappear.

Just clay, water, the turning wheel beneath my fingers… and a quiet reminder to slow down.

Sometimes, the simplest things bring us back to ourselves. 🤎
