for the love of vintage, handmade & twee

As a girl I used to spend hours with my mother on the weekends searching through antique auctions and bric a brac stores. As an adult nothing much has changed, only how much I'm allowed to spend! This is my way of sharing my love with people who love good design and pretty little things.

Ladies who golf...

So I am starting golfing lessons on Sunday. Yay, how much fun! My girlfriend and I are booked in at Northbridge and ready to go. I have been warned to not go O.T.T before I even start and see how I like it but really you know me... I don't think anything is really done till I have gone O.T.T!

So for an outfit I am thinking my girlfriend and I can go dressed like these ladies! I figure at least if we are hopeless we will look good, plus the skirt is so short I am hoping the boys will forgive us if we take 10 hits down the fairway to get to a green as we will be bending over a lot! :)

I also love that bag- very vintage! As one of my guy friends enthusiastically told me he had a set of clubs for me to borrow when I told him I was starting golfing and then proceeded to give me their history dating back to when his dad was a kid- I do believe it will fit the era of my clubs.



Do you think they will let us take a pooch to round it off? xox

i heart third drawer down...

When I think of Third Drawer Down I think quirky, unique, stylish & statement. They are a Fitzroy Victoria based design company that creates home wares and pieces for Museum Art Souvenirs. It seems a weird gig to get into, but the pieces they create are art in themselves.



The shop itself doubles as the artists studio and a museum- in fact the only trading museum in Australia. They in their own words describe their wares as 'eccentric and witty taste of products by artists/designers and niche brands include crayon rocks, chocolate pie charts, giant corn cob stools, children’s art supplies, limited edition textiles, bed linens and publications that question the mainstream conditions under which art and culture are bought and sold.'

These are my favourite thing in the store, they are pillow cases by Miranda July. One states 'Here you will dream of people you admire exposing your fraudulence.' & 'Here you will dream of endless kisses.'



They also have some amazing tea towels you could frame as art. Here are a couple of my favourites.

'Can we dance?' by Camilla Engman.



Enriqueta and Fosca Tea Towel



There are some great things for kids. I love these rock crayons.



This ruler would be awesome to measure your kids heights against. I could see this being a cool feature in a kid's rompus room.



For more of their amazingly quirky designs for house, home and friends go to: Third Drawer Down.

A perfectly twee picnic...

Today's blog combines a few of my loves; handmade, twee & food. I stumbled over this company a while ago and just love it. They are a husband and wife team who have formed 'The Sydney Picnic Co' operating out of Woollahra.

I love the personal attention to detail, the use of their passion; hers in styling and his for good food and produce. Every menu looks delectable and if your looking for a unique way to celebrate your next event or just because you feel like it, please check out their website...

Can you imagine getting to open each of these little brown packages? So cute and delectable! And love the little menu's you get.



Great idea to take to the outdoor cinema's and make it an event or theatre in the park.



YUMMY!!!
