Presents

Over the past couple of weeks I have acquired a couple of cute presents from various places around the world from my family. I guess I have pretty defined tastes in treats & every day fancy, as all of the gifts are colourful & bright!

My cousin Kate bought me the Himalayan Felt coin purse, which excites me to no end as I currently have an obsession with felt ball creations. Happiness comes in the form of a felt ball mat . She picked that bad boy up out in the country where I grew up, in Gunnedah. It was definitely a nice surprise!

The four buttons and lady beetles were from my aunty Sharon, who recently went on an around the world type cruise holiday. She brought all of my cousins back some hand crafted goodness from Prague. Mine was in the form of a lady beetle necklace and matching bracelet. They are so fracking adorable! The buttons are also from Prague, they were designed and crafted by a local artist, and intended for my button collection. She knows exactly the things I like!

My sister Ashleigh recently arrived home from her Hawaiian honeymoon, and she didn't return empty handed! She picked me up a cute-as-all-get-out necklace of a bunny xylophonist character! I am so in love with it! And to keep in with the animal theme, she picked up some cute character pegs with cute little 'pick me ups' on them. When I set up a desk, its going to be so adorable with similar assortments.

The week that was

I guess you could say I had a bit of an alright week. Last Saturday I went shopping with my Sister & Mother for bridesmaid dresses. In the process we had to stop by a warehouse for a mass amount of candle holders, and I sussed out a box of scarves & odds & ends. I found these killer neck bows for sassy femmes. Win. I bought a bunch of them, the one above was the best of the bunch. I also picked up a bag of 200 buttons for $5! One day my collection will look like above. One day...


Work wasn't horrible either. The week went fast, I sold three pages of the magazine, got a new pink stapler, & in my lunch break got a photo of a super dreamy stove top kettle my future stove needs. I've shown Luke - my lovely husband - & he agrees. I mainly took a photo because I have a friend, E (not the drug), & I thought she would be into it. I tried to take a photo about two weeks ago, I even got the store folk to take the kettle down so I could photograph it. However, my phone camera was on a whack setting (that I have since sorted out right & proper) and after I pressed 'capture' it took the photo as I moved my phone away from the kettles. I had to wait until new store folk were in so I could do the process over again.

And to finish the week off I won $25 in a sales staff point competition, and the manager at work rode around the office on a toy unicorn he bought for his daughter. Hopefully this coming week goes just as fast, I have some whiskey to drink with an old friend who I dearly miss.
