aMoment

So there’s been a little wave of love from Perth. Aw. Thanks guys.

For a start, thank you for Scott’s poem (#31), David’s prose (#46) & Carol and her camels (#57). I’ll point out some of my other favourites over the next few days!

Rosemary remembers…Take a sniff and remember to take aMoment.

Hello Perth. We’ve spread our wings and flown west for Drop #3.

This drop was lovingly made and placed for the Perthies. We hope to hear from you. If you found one, please pop a comment below or find your particular aMoment here

Life sometimes puts blinkers on you. Don’t let it.

The truth is the melbourne weather of scorching heat then torrential rain through November & December resulted in some very stressed aMoments.  In fact, all but three passed away…

We may have shed a little tear. Yelled at the sun. And did all the usual things that one does when grieving.

It’s ok though. We’re back again with a smile on our face :)

Stay tuned for drop #3.

It’s rained. It’s poured. But our new little forget-me-nots appear to have survived! They’re determined little fellas!

Yes, a new drop is in the making. But not in Melbourne this time…

Hello lovely readers of this little, little blog. Are you one of the people that found aMoment? Either a teacup or a hammock?

If you are, we would reeeeeally love a little snap of where you’ve popped your aMoment. Just take a pic with your mobile/camera/computer, send it to amomentmelbourne@gmail.com & we’ll do all the “post edit” stuff that we do with all our photos.

If you could.

That would be great.

Can we thank you in advance?

Melisa sent us some photos & a lovely story about her Saturday night stumbles across two aMoments….

“Last saturday the 16th of October, my boyfriend and I went to the city to have a walk, first we found one on little Bourke st, but it didn’t have any written message, so I felt that I needed to leave it there… I have to confess it was a hard decision, so I took some pictures of it…

After a while in the same Bourke st, we stopped for a coffee and found in a corner the #4 lucky one, this time I felt that it was mine!! so I took it and have it now hanging on the wall! It was a double 2moment! Thanks!”

Thanks Melisa for taking aMoment to write to us. We really appreciate it.

Look at all the lovely comments from people who found hammocks:

“What a wonderful way to start my day! Found #17 at the corner of Hardware Lane. My workmates have now started hunting for others…”

“We went on an adventure to find aMoment, after Ainsley mention it to us at work. We found #12 hanging on a light pole on Little Bourke St… It is now hanging round my neck, so I can capture as many moments in my day as possible.”

“#35 is hanging from the key of the filing cabinet in my office.”

“I found #47 stuck to a wall on Little Queens Street on the way to work this morning. Initially strange to find something on a wall, but when I read the message it added a brightness to my usual Monday morning. Great message, I will stick the message in another alley way for someone to pick up and read.”

“A lovely blue flower, #30, now decorating my desk at work. Thank you!”

“What a beautiful suprise Monday morning to find this little gift attached to the bike rack I part my bike on everyday. Lovely…”

“what a lovely find for an early monday morning start – i fear mondays, but it’s nice to have started with a lovely moment….now I’ll go place it (#90) someplace else for someone else to enjoy”

This makes us very happy. xx aMoment

I had scary thoughts last night – that all the aMoments were taken in a drain down Little Bourke and sitting in a muddy pool on Elizabeth street. The rain is always needed in Melbourne, but it sounded a little too ferocious for the aMoment’s to survive!

However, I was pleasantly surprised as I braced myself to walk down the lane today…some were still up! And a lot had gone without a trace! Maybe they’d found homes before the rain!

I am going to hope this is the case :)

There are a still a few flower-less ones still around…they look like they’ve been crying though. Don’t let them have another cold night out…pass it on xx aMoment

Maybe it was because it was sunny.
Maybe it was because Little Bourke isn’t walked as much.
Maybe it was because they’re smaller
But when we sneaked a trip at 8am this morning, there were still heaps and heaps left…

Drop #2 has been done. Did you find one? Which sort?

Click on an image below to comment & let us know where you popped them…

These are little hammocks for you to hang where you’d like aMoment.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have hammocks in our offices, streets and alleyways? Just for all those aMoments to rest and reflect…

…these little ones will have to do for now…
