Melbourne Goodies

99% of my traveling budget went on food but I did pick up a few little things. The one thing I really wanted, was a kickarse pom-pom beanie after seeing a girl rocking one on the flight down. I searched high and low and ended up getting on from h&m in the city. I was wanting vintage but honestly this one matched the shape and thick knit I was after. I do have plans to knit my own stripey one but at the moment it's kind of at the bottom of my to-do list (sorry beanie!) Actually I still have two unfinished scarfs that I promised as gifts four years ago - eep!

Also pictured above are some cloud earrings (not pictured very well) my Nars red lip which has the best name 'Dragon Girl' and a denim headband I picked up at a two dollar shop for the double denim party :)

I also hoarded some business cards so I wouldn't forget things. You guys should check out this artist called Bonnie Hislop she does the cutest cat and dog planters!! I actually saw her planter in the Mister Nice Guys bakery and now I get to follow her on facebook :)

We did check out a few op shops, I ended up with a few pieces of clothing and that strawberry tea cosey above :)

And when I came home, Ben popped around the corner holding the sign above and then a few seconds later Gremlin appeared wearing that big red bow on his collar - it was totes adorable and made leaving Melbourne a lot sweeter.

and hiding around another corner were these flowers - so spoiled!
