blooms.

I just thought I would share a few shots I took over the weekend. After a huge few weeks of rain, Brisbane woke to a beautiful weekend. We were lucky enough to have hundreds of little surprises waiting outside in lawn once the rain had cleared...

I think(?) they are lily's planted by the previous owners. I have never seen them actually flower.

I also finally had the chance to take some pictures of my new Olivetti typewriter. I was lucky enough to come across this beauty in my travels last week and I'm happy to report it still works perfectly. I could not resist finding the theme song to Murder She Wrote on You Tube and then sitting down to type away (yes i really am that sad! ). There is something so therapeutic about typing away on these old machines and being able to leave little notes for my husband to stumble across.

How the week ended.

Today I was lucky enough to come across this video from the people at How It Should Have Ended. You can check out their awesome pop culture inspired videos on their website or on You Tube. I must admit I am not normally one to trawl You Tube watching videos but these ones just made me laugh.

All their videos revolve around how movies/TV shows should have ended . The Twilight one is hilarious but the Inception one below would have to be my favorite.

How Inception Should Have Ended......

Musical Musings

Today I thought I would share some new music that has been on high rotation on my iPod at the moment (believe me office job + iPod = sanity kept).

I have really been enjoying the Scott Pilgrim Soundtrack. It was such an awesome movie and the soundtrack is full of all the great tracks from Scott's band Sex Bob-Omb in the movie.


Following on in the soundtrack vein (I must admit I am a sucker for a good movie soundtrack) is Kick-Ass. Now I know I am probably a little late getting on the band wagon for this movie and all its awesomeness but after seeing it recently I just had to get the soundtrack. I love the fact that it has all the best lines from the movie ala Pulp Fiction soundtrack at the start of particular songs. The Batman signal bit makes me laugh every time.

Surprisingly there is a song from Pretty Reckless who you might know is the band of one sullen, black eyeliner wearing blondie from Gossip Girl aka Taylor Momsen. I find myself actually really liking their song Make Me Wanna Die and on closer inspection their album on iTunes is not that bad. Although I must admit when I heard their latest offering on Nova the other day I actually thought it was a new song from Pink. H mm go figure. Another stand out song is Can't Go back from Primal Scream.

Another great Album I bought recently is 'I believe you Liar' by Brisbane born Washington. The album is amazing. Full of great lyrics and lots of great melodies. I was actually luck enough to spy her on the streets on Fitzroy on our recent trip to Melbourne. She was just as cute in the flesh.

The new single from the The Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) has also just landed and the track is great. I can't wait for the new album to be released but for now the single will have to do...

I hope you enjoy.

I can't believe its...

October!

Wow has the last month flown or what. I can't believe the Rummage has been and gone again for another month. The "day job" meant that last week was a horrible write off but yesterdays rummage cheered me up and meant the week ended on a happy note.

Thanks to everyone who came out and braved the rain. It was definitely one of those days which could easily have been spent under the doona with a good book. It was my best rummage to date and it is so great to see people enjoying my handmade goodies that I love to make.

The Mo Bags were once again a hit! Now I can't wait to get all geared up for Movember!!

Weekend.

This weekend as been a lot about catching up and getting the house back in order after weeks of neglect. I can now finally see my dinning room table after clearing away all my crafty bits and pieces! It was such a nice day here in Brisbane and it was great to enjoy the warm afternoon sun streaming through the front window.

I hope you too had a great weekend. Unfortunately it is back to work tomorrow and I think I might have a bad case of The Monday's coming on.

Market Wrap up

A big thanks to everyone who dropped into the market yesterday to say hello. It was a bit of a rainy day but moving up to the under cover area in King George Square was great and meant there was no worries about getting wet.

Once again there was some excellent hand made items on sale and some great vintage clothes. If you get the time you should really check out the Etsy stores for Esberts Collection and Violent Kitten for some great softies, cards and jewellery.

I'm already looking forward to the next market in October and coming up with a few more crafty ideas.

Don't forget!

the Suitcase Rummage is this Sunday from Noon at King George Square in Brisbane City.

Here is just a taste of the things I will be having in the suitcase...

Mo Brooches

Vintage Bingo tile Magnet Sets, Earrings and Rings

Ipod/ Jewellery pouches

Mo's On Sticks

I hope to see you there.
