Birthday Haul 2017

Oops, only a month late to show off my awesome gifts!!!

First up from my lovely cousin, rainbow fairy lights, a pretzel purse and shoe wings - which I have another photo to show in a second!

My cousin and her family also got me this amazing mermaid tail throw - so so good, I've been using it at night whilst watching tellie :)

The wings in action and an awesome cat space themed shirt from my middle bro which he got in Japan - making it even more special!

My oldest bro gave me this awesome book on dreams. The book is essentially a dictionary where you look up key words from your dreams - I have it right beside my bed to make sure I get those first waking insights :)

Ben's mum gifted me with these super cute owl earrings and anyone recognise the card? I really enjoyed learning about Margaret Keane and her story in Big Eyes :)

And lucky last an awesome haul from Ben which includes rainbow gloves, a sailor moon choker, stickers, a pin and a Shaun Tan book!

Shaun Tan is an Australian artist Ben and I both adore and this book is all his clay work which is so inspiring to both of us!

And my pin and cute succulent stickers Ben found - etsy was definitely his friend :) he he!
Big love for all of it!

My Birthday Haul

Despite this being many months later, I still wanted to share my awesome birthday goodies I received back late April :)

First up from my lovely cousin, a cute bunny tote (which I've been using a lot!) and a super cute little suitcase that now houses my embroidery supplies :)

Ben's mum got me these super cute cat earrings on the left.  I'm not sure if you can see but the front of the cat sits in front of your ear and it connects behind with his swinging tail, so it looks as though they are jumping through your ears! And how about that super cute cactus from my little bro - eep!

Ben got me an amazing assortment of zines/badges/stickers and that super cute ying yang cat patch which I'm still working out the best place for it to live.

My Mum got me all of the above Amazing goodies. The red suitcase now houses my dymo label maker + tapes and we've been using the cat tray for Gremlin's food (just need one for Pnow!).

And close up of the super cute tin and brooch!

I think I won around 30 dollars on those scratchies from my bro Matty and my littlest bro, J always makes me incredible handmade card *love*

More goodies from my lovely cousin, Heather and her family, so much to love - how great is that Frida notebook! (have you seen the recent movie btw? definitely worthy of a watch!)

The cutest cards!

And two African violets from my dad :)

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!
