Vain and vanished.

Oh how I love this new dress from Vain and Vapid. I've been a follower of their things for awhile now but they always sell out as soon as they hit Etsy. I'm not exaggerating, within seconds, and I'm not suprised but means this beauty won't be in my wardrobe anytime soon.



Adventure photos. Day three. 
Back in Buenos Aires because I missed these gems.

In the Plaza Dorrego markets (one of Buenos Aires busiest), a man selling a mountain of feather dusters.


And this man bringing more fresh bread to his stall.


Nearby a street circus performs and this man sells candy floss.

A Pee Wee Herman carnival.

Some new bits and pieces I've been working on for the upcoming markets. Hope you like them! A Pee Wee Herman carnival theme.


Pee Wee Herman bow plus lilac stud hairclip.

Lemon bow brooches on shoes.


Carnival Bunting necklaces. More colours coming soon.



Happy mid week to all. x

Adventure photos. Day two.

Rosemary and Lily's adventure photos, day two. Rio de Janeiro. I couldn't pick!

Copacabana at sunrise. After a very early morning swim in Rio's warm sea.



Copacabana at dusk from the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain after a frightening cable car ride and the view across the city to Christ.

Wishing.

Something nice for the top/start of my Christmas wish list. I think it could be quite right for a light summer scarf. Is it too early to be thinking of this?



And on another note. I've been steadily sharing photos from Rosemary and I's adventures with my friends via facebook, but have hardly shown any to 'blog friends' so from now on I've decided to post a photo each day with a small caption to show you all just what we got up to. Photo one below.


February. Dog walker. Buenos Aires.
We saw this guy stomping the pavement with no short of  15 dogs while doing a walking tour around the city.

Odds and ends.

Some of the great things I've picked up at the last few markets. There is always so many great products I find it hard to choose, there are some more I'd like to show but don't have them photographed at present so consider them 'coming soon'. 

I got all of these from Kingsland's Crafternoon Tea. Support the local community this Christmas, buy handmade! It feels good I promise.


Jazzed up Ran With Scissors matchboxes.

A pretty 'Odds' and 'Ends' bag that now houses my charms from Softings Repurposed.

Pretty twine from Songbird. Below it hanging with Obama in my room.

The band's visit.

The boyfriend and I watched a really great movie last night called 'The Band's Visit'. If you are yet to see it I really recommend it. It's at the video store now and it was the perfect wind down after a hectic weekend. 




Treat please.

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope the weekend was a swell one. I attended a great Halloween Party at Cross Street Studios with friends, that even had a 'Trick or Treat' wall (hand in, trick played, beer in hand after trick as treat) so thank you to everyone who organised it. 

A peek at what we got up to below. 


My good friend, Kendoll. Pun intended.



The BF looking mighty attractive as Slimer from Ghost Busters.



One of my favourite costumes of the night. I love this movie!


Me in my costume. Thank you so much Jess for painting my face.



The morning after. A wee pick me up before I headed to Devonport for the Devonport Craft Market. 

Devonport Craft Market was another lovely one, although I did not do so well on the stall I had a blast as always and enjoyed looking at everyones great stuff. Refrained from buying this time but have some things to show (as soon as possible) that I've bought from the last few markets.

It's always so difficult to keep my pennies in my pocket!


Jorge, my lovely assistant for the afternoon. Hehe.

Killing the time by reading 'Olive' my new Munch Bunch book!


Thank you to everyone who made it to the markets, Ruby Square and Devonport Craft.
