wanting, not really needing

I've already got myself a Frankie one... Hmm, you can never have too many calendars!

I've been furiously (well, that's an exaggeration) trying to finish up my Christmas shopping.. I'm struggling. Why is it I keep coming across more for me? It's becoming very distracting.

Seriously Martha, these brides maid tags are way cute! Such pretty styling.

I adore these cute little envelopes. I was on a mission to find them a few months ago but can't seem to find there anyone who stocks them.. Staff at Papyrus said that Australia Post no longer take them because the string catches.. Boo!

i love snail mail.

My gorgeous friend Juz sent me the latest Kikki.K catalogue, her timing was quite fitting given my recent home office revamp. Thank you sweets!

My retail shopping fixes have been limited to Bunnings and Ikea recently.. In fact I'm such a Ikea pro now I know all the short cuts! No messin' about, no dilly dawdling down the designated paths for me!

Note to Ms Law, I too love the project on page 10 - if only going through all my digital photo's and getting them printed wasn't such an arduous process!

I WANT these recipe cards!

I think I have died and gone to stationery heaven.. This is the talented work of the Anna Bond of Rifle Design - check out her blog!

I discovered Rifle Design through the uber cool Melbourne blogger Lucy of The Design Files, currently in New York. Lucy is my unofficial design guide to Melbourne, forever inspiring me to get off my couch and explore this amazing city.
