On Saturday I ventured up to Second Treasures in Hillcrest. THANK YOU Nicola for telling me about it! I was freaking out, it was so cool! These pictures don't begin to do it justice. How to describe it...it's kind of like some ram shackled barn you'd see in an American movie, stuffed to the brim full of interesting old things. This week they're having an epic relocation sale - I NEED TO BE THERE. Ahhhhh. There were so many cool things. I'm definitely gonna be heading to their new premises to snap some more pics for the lovely Christie who owns this treasure chest. x

Kitchen Love Forever!
My mom added to my tin collection with this amazing Maizena guy! I also picked up a retro coke glass along with some sewing bits and bobs from Second Treasures but MORE deets coming on this place soon - I lost my mind there on Saturday! Thank you Nicola for telling me about it :)

Our Custom Illy!
Friends, hello! I am so happy to share this amazing custom illy that Che Indie Berries did for me! It's a pic of Tall One and I with a bewildered goat between us! I was recently scrolling through a bunch of custom illustrations, and thinking, "Ah, I would love one for us!" but I wanted something a bit mad yet personal yet mad! Che knows the tale of Tall One and I as we've had some mental skyping sessions and I've loved her blog for ages…so I was beyond thrilled when she said she'd happily scribble summin'. I gave her a very loose brief (how wrong that sounds) and she replied with the perfect pic! She offered to tweak bits and pieces but I said "NO, I LOVE IT AS IT IS!" I wanted her first imaginative take on us :) My only comment would be that our height ratio is more extreme in real life! I just love the goat's priceless expression…and the little pink cheeks she gave me and Jon's Third Eye Blind top. I also love how my hair looks a bit jagged and crazy 'cuz it always does in real life! Che, thank you so much. This guy is already framed on my desk at home. I LOVE it to bits! I have lots teed up for Gloss this week (including a seriously overdue post for Jennakins) so stay tuned.

Kitchen Shelves!
On Saturday, I snapped these rather terrible photos of my new shelves! Long-term readers will know its has been a dream of mine to have a kitchen with white subway tiles and floating shelves. My little studio kitchen has floating shelves now! I love them to bits. They have really helped to tie the place together.
I'm just a bit bummed I wasn't able to get proper shots of how it looks like in situ - bit tricky snapping with a 50mm in a teeny space which doesn't get a lot of natural light but hey, ho, I have shelves! Thanks to my mom and dad for helping me put them up - sans spirit level - ahem - but I still think we did a great job. x

Treated myself to flowers for making my way through the first week of le new job. Thanks again for all your well wishes! Also got Tall One the yellow version of my egg-holder so we can have his and hers eggs and soldiers. Can't help myself. Eggs are a big part of our lives. x
