we had christmas a little early this weekend... in the form of my new fuji instax! waaaay more fun than buying a vacuum cleaner (the real reason we were in farmers) and this deal was far too good to walk past. i'm already eyeing up more film!
witchery
original collage | magazine clipping, gesso, masking tape, earrings (a new purchase from witchery)
500
wow, i can't believe this is my 500th post! no profound speeches, or funny photos from our trip to knottsberry farm (i tragically managed to wipe our memory card... it's been 24 hours and i'm still gutted) but i do have a party cake recipe!
this coconut banana bread with lime glaze looks amazing; and achievable. make it and have a slice (or two) for me!!
style file
after a whole two weeks of planning + sketching + collecting and finally creating i've got some pages of my style file all ready to share. the rest of the pages are awaiting photos that are sitting patiently in my diana camera ready to be processed. this time i'm going to be sensible and wait for the light-tight bag to avoid potential heartbreak.
anyways, i loved vee's style files workshop. click here to view some of her pages. she always has great style + super creative + has the coolest nail polish!
here's a couple of my pages...
and my favourite so far...

365
my love of kikki k is well known. so well known in fact that the moment i walked into their christchurch store last weekend my family all looked at one another and declared they were off to get some food and left me to it.
i can't quite put my finger on what makes this stationery store so appealing, but i'm guessing it has a lot to do with beautiful scandinavian design and their knack of making things you never knew you could live without.
i'd been eyeing up this journal for quite some time and decided to take the plunge...
p.s. ha! no sadly, this isn't the point where i explain my amazing 365 plan. i've had a ton of ideas (drawing a day, pattern a day, glueing in bits from my day) but i'm nervous about sustaining it for a year.
so, dear readers, any ideas??

i have been unsuccessfully trying to make the following post less... ahhh... geeky but figure we are all friends here right?
anyways one of my total random purchases over the weekend was this pantone mug. in my favourite colour (337C likened to a 'duck egg blue')

and it's just been delivered to my crafty nook {as evidenced in the background} brimming with a hot cup of tea... perfection!
