The Village Markets.

On 4 December, 2011 · 4 Comments · In Events, Fashion

With the runaway success of markets like Finders Keepers I’m so pleased to see smaller weekly and fortnightly markets popping up. When we moved down here I wasn’t sure what kind of arts and crafts scene was going on, but after visiting the weekly Village Markets at Burleigh Heads State School today I’m [...]

I’ve been collecting a few rad tutorials and how-tos lately and I thought I’d post about them because you might want to do them too!

Make a padded headboard.

I made one last week and it was surprisingly easy after I found all the materials but beware, unless you have foam [...]

Coffee is the best way to get a Natalie to start the day! We had our Saturday morning all planned out, we were going to check out the new Coorparoo Markets and then move on to Finders Keepers but parking at the rejuvenated old Myer Coorparoo building AND breakfast in our tummies were [...]

Friday Fance: Resourcefulness Boom

On 2 July, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Fancy

Pip at Meet Me at Mikes posted some of Lo Bjurulf’s interior styling work and I was in love. I’m a fan of mismatched, childish, chaotic things and I think being invited to this dinner party would be a lot of fun. Sometimes we are so taken with what [...]

Heyyy, wanna make a fun fringy skirt that flicks when you move your hips? I have been a bit sad recently because I don’t have money for things like new clothes, even if they are awesome clothes like City Chic‘s fringed skirt (which has now sold out on the website!)

Meet Jes and Holly’s amazing project, American Able. I think the description on the site says everything, so I’m going to post it here for you:

Birthday wants!

On 14 November, 2009 · 11 Comments · In Objects of Desire

My birthday is five days out from Giftmas (December 20) and (get out your little violins) my celebrations are usually overlooked because people have engagements and stuff to buy. So it usually ends up with me having a pity party and eating worms. Allow me this one indulgence: to compile a list of the awesome [...]

Nana Chic and Finders Keepers

On 1 November, 2009 · 8 Comments · In Events, Fashion

Today I went to the Brisbane Finders Keepers markets on a whim, despite being apprehensive about being amongst such talent and gorgeous knick knackery. I got this vintage dress in the mail last week, so I decided to seize the day (and [...]

My favourite new blogs

On 5 October, 2009 · 10 Comments · In Blog Love

I am addicted to Google Reader and the treasure chest of inspiration it offers me, but with so many fabulous blogs out there in internet land, it’s very easy to get congested and overwhelmed.

The lady who attends Tupperware parties

On 28 September, 2009 · 9 Comments · In Fashion

Saturday was a big day, with a Tupperware party and two footy games on the big plasma tv at my sister’s. I’m not really into footy, so I decided to kick into frou frou mode for the Tupperware party to spite the cloying masculinity of the [...]
