Taxidermy Friends




These guys keep us company when we're burning the midnight oil. 
A lady that works here makes the terrariums, so if you what one let me know. I think they're about $50 each.

Mark Crane's Illustrations

This Saturday Mark Crane, who runs Wunderkammer in Ponsonby, is holding an exhibition there for his illustrations. Looks great. Simplicity always wins.

Seriously, such a good idea.

QUINOA

I have found a brand new best friend. Quinoa.
Since I'm allergic to gluten, I pretty much live on rice and rice and more rice, so he's is like the new kid on the block, and it turns out he's pretty awesome.

Not going to lie, I've had it every day for the last few weeks in some form or another. Quinoa Pilaf, Quinoa and spinach salad and Quinoa with garlic tomato sauce, chicken and basil (like you'd make pasta).

There are so many more I want to try.
AND, it's super good for you too.

The lovely Liz has just put out a few photos of her new summer collection and it's looking good.

The shoulder cutouts are my favourite.

Something to make this Friday even better

This is probably old news but I thought since today looks like it's going to be a beautiful, might as well start it off with something beautiful too.

Hope you're lapping up the sunshine too. 

LIVE THE LANGUAGE

I LOVE THESE. I'm so glad they did some more. 

My all time favourite from the last lot is this one:

SUMMER'S COMING

I found these photos in my desk the other day and they reminded me about how close summer is. So, so, so close. EXCITING.

Living with a creative mind

Creative people are sometimes a little hard to understand. We can't even figure ourselves out most of the time.

This book explains it better than I ever could.
That is all.

I recently purchased this little cheapy from good ol' trademe. And since then we've developed a bit of a love hate relationship.
LOVE: The freedom of point and shoot. Also the contrast you get from it.
HATE: How much Kodak charged me to develop it. OUCH. And that they don't do 1 Hour developing anymore. Also, how I cut heads off.
But in saying that, I fell back in love with it when I got the photos developed.
