Finders Keepers Time Again!

30 November 2011

I feel a little like my work space is being slowly drowned in plates, jewellery and ceramic goodies.

And there are piles forming on every flat surface I can find.

Because it’s time for The Sydney Finders Keepers Market!! This friday & saturday at Carriageworks. So come down and see what we have to offer. Candy Stripe Cloud, Made By White and The Storybook Rabbit will combine forces in one super dooper amazing stall, offering goodies for everyone. Jewellery (including all our new collaboration ranges!), plates, christmas decorations and lots of limited edition bits and pieces you’ll probably only see on friday night. We’d love to see you all there, so come down and say “hi”, have a drink, a shop and nice time all round. Kx

Tongue Toy

22 November 2011

Wilfred’s new favourite toy. Bought from via this great site and truly hours of fun. Of course he wouldn’t let me take a proper photo, or hold it in his mouth long enough for a real shot, but you get the idea. Kx

What I Wore – Green Floral and Black

18 November 2011

A rare moment where it isn’t sweltering hot today, so I grabbed out my boots, a short sleeve coat (for the rain) and stockings again. It’s a nice little change, but the puppy is BORED. Walking in the rain is just no fun.

Dress: Vintage from Veb Orange in Berlin (yes, this shop really is as awesome as it looks!) and there’s a funny story that goes along with this one, because I remember drooling over Nikkis photos of dresses months ago after I’d been to Berlin wondering what shop it was and how I missed out on such amazingness, only to go into Veb Orange and nab the very dress I wanted in Nikkis photos!!! Meant to be or what?

Coat: Bardot, but bought from Salvos.

Belt: DJ’s outlet at Birkenhead Point

Boots: Vintage

Brooch: BRAND NEW (infact I’m gluing them as we speak)! Made By White Flower Basket brooch. Check it out here!

Good Things Lately…

14 November 2011

Lots of walks to Sydney Park to play with the other puppies and roll in the grass..

The kids in the morning, looking for some love…

Or a carrot for breakfast…

Sleepy afternoons spent next to my desk.

Car trips to fun places…

Like the beach!

Where everything taste better if its covered in sand.

Hope you’ve all had a lovely time lately too. Kx

The Rabbits’ Wedding

9 November 2011

On saturday we attended the wedding of these lovely people. The former miss Mechelle B (now Mrs Smitten) married her boyfriend of 8 years, Pasquale, in a gloriously sunny cottage garden. The wedding was vintage themed, with handmade paper decorations, hand sewn garlands by Anney B, op-shopped crockery, furniture and even a reading from a children’s book called “The Rabbits Wedding”.

The dress theme was vintage formal, so Lynds and I wore some cute dresses out of my extensive vintage wardrobe, though none rivalled Mechelle’s spectacular 1950′s numbers (yes there were 3!) we found at the recent Love Vintage Fair.

The boys scrubbed up alright too!

This pink and black lacy tiered dress was one of the most amazing I’ve ever seen!

And after the tea party the girls entertained us all with ukelele love songs! They were pretty damn amazing, I really hope the video shows up on youtube one day.

The photographers for the day were Jess from In an Instant Photography (who we met at the winterland markets last year) and her boyfriend Sebastian who was filming in super 8 on the day. Jess also took some of the coolest polaroids I’ve ever seen!

And lynds took all these cute pics of the day you see here. The vegetarian feast!

And spectacular fruit cornucopia Anney carved by hand at 4am the night before!

We even had an amazing sunset before our wood fired pizza dinner! Do note the cute perspex lettering Lynds made for the big day.

It was an extremely positive, cute, beautifully decorated day. It made me tired just thinking about all the planning that must have gone into making it so lovely. Congrats Mr and Mrs Smitten, you two truly deserve all the happiness in the world. Kx

Exciting News…

1 November 2011

I have SUPER exciting news today! I’d like to introduce to you…Wilfred, the newest member of our little family!

Wilfred is a 5 month old French Bulldog who came to live with us through the RSPCA and some very lovely friends of ours who picketed for us to be his new parents with a friend of theirs who was a foster mum to Wilfred. After a week or so of not knowing if he was going to be able to come to us, to say the least we are SO ridiculously thrilled to finally have him here and especially happy about being able to save a puppy who may otherwise have not found a new home that was quite so inviting. Having originally come from a puppy mill you can imagine his first home would not have been fun at all, so we’re doing our best to drown him in love this time round (it’s really not hard, look at that face!).

He’s a gentle and calm little man with no apparent interest in Juno whatsoever. Which is a huge relief and lots of fun. Juno’s slowly adapting to being one of two siblings, but is getting lots of love and reassurance in the meantime. And don’t worry, she’ll always be top bunny in this house!
