Well now that we are well and truly addicted to the marvellous Instagram, the obvious next step is printing our hip, well filtered and curated images right? Enter Origrami. Product Perfection. I’m pretty much gaga over the whole process here; the ease of ordering, the worldwide free shipping, the impeccable packaging, the fruity colours on the backs of my prints …
{FYI, this is NOT a sponsored post, I just received excellent service on a gorgeous product and wanted to share.} You know those seasons {usually they last for around 365 days a year} when all of your disposable income seems to be spent on your kids? Autumn is that season for us. I feel the cold really easily so may …
A few months ago, ok, 6 months ago, when Nix was fresh and new and having a lot of problems feeding I received this strange looking wee cup in the mail for review. As I was having so much trouble getting him to breast feed I was loathe to try anything that might muddy the waters any further. We got …
Oh my lord. This was one of those finds that I have hoped for, imagined in my home and finally scored! Waipu has quite the plethora of second hand shops, so I was really looking forward to some lazy browsing last week. As it turns out the shops in Waipu operate on Waipu-time, meaning they either don’t open at all …
Chastise. Go. I thought about this swan for a long time. And then I bought it. I’m wanting to bring a few different colours into this room, so this was like my ‘gateway’ knick-knack to opening up the colour palette.

I spied these gorgeous wheelie boxes on Lee Ann Yare’s Facebook page when I was in hospital after having Nixon. This one matched the quilts in his nursery just too perfectly and Brooke from Move Ur Art was lovely enough to drop it off at the hospital for me! Childbirth doesn’t mean you have to take a break from shopping lol. These boxes …
A couple of weeks ago I popped into the city to visit the Auckland Art & Craft Fair {the next one is 30/11/2013} held at the Aotea Centre. Entry was a gold coin donation and this event was well worth trying to squeeze my big truck into the teeny Civic parking spaces. It was definitely a super-hipster craft fair, there were …
Kath Leopard Flat~ Overland $179 It feels like I had been searching for the perfect pair of leopard flats for my whole life, {a teensy exaggeration, but, the hunt has been on for well over a year}. I found these at Overland whilst searching for the perfect tan boots {that’s another post}. They are super soft and comfy, with a ‘hairy’? outer, …
Before Christmas I ordered the Turning Triangles Terrarium from UO and miracle of miracles it arrived unbroken! Planting it was a bit of a mission, I bent a teaspoon to use as a spade and lowered my mini cactus (found at The Warehouse) into position with a lasso made from a paper towel. I love it. Follow
