Successful Searching

31 August 2010

I love it when searching etsy daily for something really pays off. I’m a bit obsessive about it with my deers, and when I saw these it was one of those “oh my god” moments. A weeks or so later and they’ve arrived! My two new friends!

Another Etsy find which i’m pretty chuffed about! These amazing vintage bunny stickers. The rabbits ARE WEARING HATS!!!! I don’t think it can get better than this. EVER. One of them looks like red riding hood!

And I totally scored at the op-shops today. I love having a creative venture that allows for this to be part of my routine, but I love even more going to those crazy little op-shops where the old ladies have crooked makeup and bitch about how ridiculous the prices are, then give it all to you for $5. This is precisely what happened to me today at this weird cat society op-shop which has become my new favourite haunt.

And obviously, Juno loves op-shopping days, because I let her play cubby houses with the wrappings. Kx

New Things and New Homes

30 August 2010

There are some new plates and special things up in my etsy shop. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to let everyone know because things keep selling super quickly! Yay!

Angus and Julia

27 August 2010

angus-and-julia-stone1Last night we saw Angus and Julia Stone Live at the Enmore. As well as it being an amazing gig, it was within 3 walking minutes of my house and they had a giant tree with fairy lights on stage! But it was made even more special because the person I was with loves them as much as me and they played all our favourite songs! Plus the groupies yelling out to Angus in every silence was pretty darn funny, especially when at one point he said, “yeah yeah, I love you too. No, really, I do” and they SCREAMED like it was The Beatles. Kx

We spontaneously went to Luna Park on the weekend and I spent time taking photos with my hipstamatic iphone app. It makes photos colour saturated and everything looks all vintage and pretty, which is how I like it! We rode the ferris wheel and admired the view, which I’m constantly reminded is just SO beautiful. Kx

puppetsThe Pin Pals do some amazing things. Like these puppets! and these cross stitched hairclips and earrings (which you can also get at made590 at the moment) but the puppets I just had to have. They’ve made friends and hang out with my dollybabes from Lauren Carney. Kx

Favourites and newbies

3platewall2I know I say it a lot, but I think these are my favourite plates! I seriously questioning whether to pull them down and not sell them. But if you’re quick, I might reconsider.

bunnycards1There’s also some new cards and brooches. Available here.

meadowbunny1And this little special request plate is off to make friends with Allana! Kx
