Post Secret is a site that my sister introduced me to years and years ago. Its creator, Frank Warren, started his community art project in 2004 by leaving blank postcards with instructions on the back all around his home town. Slowly, the postcards got returned to him with the secrets of strangers on them. Then he started receiving them from around the country, and then around the world. He posts new secrets on his blog every Sunday and there is… Read more »
Yes, I'm a self-confessed stationery addict. And kikki.K is just one part of this rather huge obsession. Don't tell me you don't know kikki.K. If you don't…I don't know if we can be friends any more (just kidding, just promise me to check out their site). My sister, best friend, and I have a deep and mutual love of all things kikki.K. Even though we live far away, I always feel close to them when I go into the stores… Read more »
I always love seeing what people are sending back and forth to each other, so I thought I'd do an In The Mail post as it has been a while and although I've been lazy lately, I have received some fun things in the mail! Mixer from Catch Of The Day – It's my starting point before splashing out on a KitchenAid A lovely package of goodies from overseas from my friend, Shamere Some tea from a delicious… Read more »
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I have a problem when it comes to stationery. It would seem that I cannot go past a stationery store without going in, I buy more than I need, and – let's face it – I just can't get enough. Until recently, I stashed it – like a true junkie. I had so many note books and post-it notes and note cards and paper stashed around the place that I didn't… Read more »
This week my Dutchie finally arrived and we (read: Bailey) put it together. Now I just have to buy a helmet, bike pump, and lock so I can finally ride it!! A while back I won an Elliatt outfit from The Chronicles of Her blog and it just arrived. Unfortunately they were sold out of the pink top to match the skirt so I got to pick something from the Elliatt A/W 2012 collection, which was actually even better! My… Read more »
Life (and, as a result, my blog) has been a bit up in the air lately, but I have had this blog in the works for a while and wanted to share it with you! Thanks to the wonderful world of blogging, I have had the pleasure of coming to across Australian writer, Naomi Bulger through her blog, Messages in a Bottle. Her frequently updated musings contain moments in her life, Instagram snapshots of her weekends, stories of her time spent… Read more »
I don't get mail very often, but some exciting things have come in the post for me lately and I thought I'd share: My Hit RECord arrived! Once I've had time to actually have a look at it, I will post further and explain exactly what it is and my thoughts. Until then, you can get a bit of a heads up here – if you're a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt you will quite likely find it a very interesting… Read more »
Do you remember when you were a kid and when mail came for you, it was usually for your birthday or a special occasion? But as you got older, it became less fun stuff and more bills? Well, that's how it has been for me! The other day, I was lamenting the fact that letter and postcard writing and 'snail mail' in general is fading away with the freedom and free-ness of the Internet. Well, the other day, Bailey and… Read more »
