6 things I wish I could own right now

17 March 2010

Money may not buy happiness, but if I had the funds for these pretties, I can guarantee I’d be rather ecstatic.

birdplate

This bird plate is one of the loveliest things I’ve seen in a long time. And its a one off piece! From etsy, here.
boots

Honestly, I think the saying “needing something like a hole in the head” was created for me and pairs of boots, but you know, if the funds afforded them, these are awesome. and custom made!

phonebrooch

This super cute, super girly (peach and black! aww!) telephone brooch…

scottato

And this rainbow diary cover, by Scottato, one of my favourite small designers. (I have a collection of her zip purses!) Take time to check out her etsy store she does the most amazing things with leather!

paperdoll

And every single paperdoll in this etsy shop, but especially this AMAZING blue eyed bow peep-ish looking girl.

louandlee And finally, all the beautiful headbands by Lou and Lee in this shop. But this nautical themed one in particular caught my eye. Kx

It’s so great to see a company like Eckersley’s working with and promoting one of Australia’s great designers. It’s also Beautifully printed to and has lots of great bargains if you like, art supplies/stationery (and who doesn’t???) Check it out here or pick one up instore.

Google meets Sesame Street

14 November 2009

sesame street

cookie monster

big bird

I love it when you go to google first thing in the morning and they have done something smart with their logo! and how great was last week with all the Sesame Street characters featured! Fantastic!! We grew up watching Sesame Street, (along with everyone else I’m sure) each character has such a great personality of its own, that’s why its lasted 40 years I suppose, because its just so loveable.

You can view all the google/sesame street logos here. You can also download high res versions of them all too! yay! L x

koziol at wholesale prices

31 July 2009

koziol

Granted I probably love ANYTHING at wholesale prices but recently I went on a mission to track down this great apple lunch box from German Brand Koziol… I happened to find down the Australian Distributor (a lovely guy called Barry) and his super fun store in Artarmon (Sydney) selling these fun, bright, plastic, housey things at wholesale prices. Needless to say I will be back for more but my first trip there I came home with a number of fantastic new things.

A new eye ball toilet brush and matching hook, a couple of cute red plastic squirrel knives, the best cable ties I’ve ever seen (flower shaped) A sink plug with little hand reaching up (2 for both our sinks), a little black cable man and of course an apple lunch box in green (which I will also get in red when its back in stock)

Definitely worth crossing the bridge for – Koziol factory outlet is next to Victorias Basement in Artarmon. Lx

New Series Nathan Jurevicius Peleda Owls

4 July 2009

Nathan Jurevicius Owls

The second series release of Nathan J’s Peleda Owls are all lovely bright colours (and one glow in the dark one). I spent a good part of a day tracking down a place I could buy them in Australia with no luck, but my hard work paid off and I bought them from the US and I’m now the proud owner of a FULL SET yay!! They are just so great – I can’t choose my favourite.

After they arrived I received an email from Scary Toys saying they were getting them in soon so if you are interested in owning some you can get them here.

Can you pick the odd one out in this photograph?
