🙏⚡❤ THANK YOU to all the lovely bidders on my @deedbags⚡Flash Fundraiser ⚡ The highest bid at midday today was $210 from an anonymous bidder 🙏⚡❤ Add to that the $50 pledged by the author half of me for my sloppy typo, and we've got $260 to add to the GoFundMe Campaign today for @tilbrookestate 🙏⚡❤ . ⚡🙏❤ with thanks @sarah_mason_condon @jenalison_ @marina.stevenson and two anonymous bidders 🙏❤⚡ . 😢 Listening to @abcradionational this morning, it seems the catastrophic fire storm in the Adelaide Hills on Friday was far worse than expected, now that people have been able to access properties. At last count, 86 homes have been lost along with vineyards, stock and machinery, plus tragically loss of life. 😢 , It seems this fire started from a tree falling on power lines in the extreme heat and wind conditions.... creating a monstrous fireball which decimated this beautiful tight-knit community in less than one hour. 😢 . 🙏❤⚡ My family and I look forward to standing beside Annabelle and James as they undertake the rebuild of their vineyard 🙏❤⚡A re-planting trip to Adelaide Hills a definite 🙏❤⚡⚡⚡ . . . . #deedbags #deedsnotwords #emmabowd #author #maker #winelover #fundraisers #tilbrookestate #sparklingrose #sauvignonblanc #boutiquewinery #adelaidehills #bushfires #risefromtheashes #cudleecreekfire #thisisaustralia #australiaburns #sosad

💕 🐨 Pretty excited to share this gorgeous book 'Fauna - Australia's Most Curious Creatures' by @taniamccartney (@nationallibraryaus ) for a number of reasons 💕 . 💕 Firstly, I've been a non-fiction freak all my life. And since returning to Oz after an 11-year stint in London I'm super passionate about the incredibly unique fauna and flora of this country. (Hopefully there's a 'Flora' book in the wings 😉). Definitely a book which can be devoured by the entire family. . . 💕 Secondly, I'm so incredibly lucky to have been teamed up with Tania @taniamccartney who will be illustrating my debut children's picture book with @windyhollow publishing (hitting the shops in 2021) 💕 I know... how lucky am I!! 🙌💕 Look forward to sharing more about this next year. 💕 . 💕 And lastly, it was lovely to buy this book at one of my local independent bookstores @ulyssesbooks in Sandringham, Bayside Melbourne. 💕 . . . #fauna #kidlit #nonfiction #childrensbooks #kidsbookstagram #australiananimals #seeaustralia #taniamccartney #authorillustrator #emmabowd #author #writer #wordsmith #naturelover #wordlover #writersofinstagram #deedbags #writerscommunity #authorsofig #writersofinstagram #shoplocal #buylocal #bibliophile #baysidemelbourne
🧡💖 Had a fabulous fashionista day in Melbourne on Friday with these two beauties from @fashion_by_foot 🧡💖 I donned my walking shoes and hit the pavements of Brunswick and Carlton with Donna and Briar - two personal stylists who specialise in sourcing garments, jewellery and accessories which have been 'Made in Melbourne'. . 🧡💖 It was so fantastic to have them by my side as I tried on pieces - their knowledge of colour, cut, fabric and pattern constantly amazed me...I learnt so much!! . 🧡💖 Gourmet rest stops at mouth-watering cafes and restaurants added to the uniquely Melbourne experience. . 🧡💖 I had the pleasure of first meeting Briar one year ago at the Melbourne book launch of 'Rise and Resist - How to Change the World' by super 'eco-fashion connector' and Vogue Australia Sustainability Editor, Clare Press @mrspress. . 🧡💖 We've since supported each other's small businesses - with Fashion By Foot commissioning DEED bags to make their distinctive tour tote bags, and I've signed up to their CBD, Fitzroy and Brunswick walks 😊 . 💖🧡 As a non-Melbourne native, I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring my adopted city through the eyes of sustainable and ethical fashion 😍 . 📷 @prestonzly 👠 (fabulous shoes!!) . #deedbags #saynotoplasticbags #instyle #sustainablefashion #deedsnotwords #slowfashion #handmadebags #totebag #emmabowd #fashionbyfoot #walkingtour #melbourne #melbournestyle #melbournemade #melbournemakers #madeinmelbourne #melbournecreatives #visitmelbourne #sustainabilitymatters #sustainabilityeditor #clarepress

❤ On yesterday's International Day of People with a Disability, it was my great joy to combine my current career as an author and my first career as an Occupational Therapist . A truly lovely full-circle moment in my life ❤🙏📚 . ❤ I was invited by author and friend Diana Lawrensen @dianalawrensonauthor to volunteer technical support to Tess, the Writer's Club program coordinator at Bayley House @bayleyhouse , to facilitate the publishing of books written in the program. . ❤ Thanks to the fantastic technology @canva we have been able to publish books of exceptional quality and give a voice to eight adults with intellectual disabilities ❤🙏📚 . . ❤ Diana volunteered with the Writer's Club one session per week over a period of one year. She also enlisted the volunteer help of accomplished children's book illustrator Marjory Gardner @marjorydraws . Many people at Baylely House worked on the compilation of the books - which looked spectacular printed in hardback!! . . ❤ The whole project was possible thanks to a grant from Bayside City Council @baysidecitycouncil . ❤ Thanks also to @scbwi_vic for providing a rich professional development program for children's authors and illustrators in Melbourne - it was through attending regular meetings with the Melb branch of SCBWI that I connected with Diana and Marjory.❤🙏📚 . . . . #idpwd #books #storywriting #booklaunch #booklaunchparty #bayleyhouse #baysidelibrary #baysidecitycouncil #inspirationalpeople #volunteering #disabilityawareness #emmabowd #author #occupationaltherapist #fullcircle #circleoflife #joy #scbwi #scbwivic
