Vintage Spools

Just in at my space at Smith Street Bazaar are beautiful vintage spools.

Use them for a hat stand or to place a tiny kokeshi on top.

Also available is a super fine gladstone bag and vintage briefcase.

Fryerstown Antique Fair

Shabby Vintage Junk

If you are free on the weekend and want to do a country drive, then head up to Fryerstown (just before Castlemaine and Chewton) to the Fryerstown Annual Antique Festival.

I was lucky to be there on traders day, so I missed the big crowds.  Even so, I  missed purchasing a vintage maniquiene with a wooden stand!  I have fallen in love with these maniqiens. So far, I have two at home, but would like another.

Two of my favourite traders were Vintage etc (website coming soon), who source vintage and industrial furniture and homewares and Shabby Vintage Junk, who collect cool and cute knick knacks for the home, plus dam fine furnishings to give your pad that shabby look.


The only thing I ended up taking home were a few snaps from my camera!

Illustrator art piece: untitled...unless you can think of one

Sketches on Illustrator

I love using the bush tool when drawing on illustrator. I find it better than the pencil tool as I don't need to deselect when I want to move to a different position on the board. As a result, my sketches remain organic; just like when sketching on paper. Which is your favourite drawing tool on illustrator?

Ceres: Photography Club

Ceres: Photography Club, a set on Flickr.

In 2012, once a month, my friends and myself have committed to meet up for a photography club.

The purpose is to learn from critiques, have fun with photography and most of all to take more photos.

Today was our first official photography club meeting at Ceres, in Brunswick.

Please feel free to make constructive feedback on any of my photos.

Fryerstown Cuteness

Fryerstown, Victoria, Australia, a set on Flickr.

Today, my husband and myself went to Fryerstown for a hike. In case you don't know, Fryerstown is near Castlemaine which is another cool country town in Victoria.

This town was so tiny, there were no shop! In fact the whole place was just a few streets.

Regardless, I loved it's country charm.
