amazing day

Last weekend I went to a hedge maze it was so much fun, but it's so easy to get lost!


If you send two people into a maze - they're bound to go different ways - but if they just keep going maybe one day they will come out the same side.

fancy plates, collections and juice glasses

I think it is fair to say that most people have or have had a collection of some kind.
Baseball cards, fancy plates, teaspoons, Pogs (does any body else remember pogs?) anyway you get my point. . .I wanted to start a collection that wasn't going to cost me a fortune, one that was functional and one that I and others could appreciate on a daily basis. So at the beginning of the year I Started collecting vintage juice glasses.It is strange I know, but the patterns and prints feed my love of both design and colour. . .

I got my first glass In January this year, I spotted it through the window of a closed Op shop in Yarrawonga. Although I only intend to collect one of each kind of glass, the woman at the shop said I had to buy all four. So I forked out the $5 for 4 strawberry printed glasses to kick off my collection. (If you come to visit I wont mind too much if you break one!)


The next two glasses in the collection were purchased from a second hand store in Northcote - Melbourne. They were two dollars each and I'm pretty sure I was unnaturally excited about finding them. . .


The Fourth and final glass in my collection (until I find the next one, of course!) was given to me by my dad, its a slightly different shape to the others, but I still love it!


So if you see any of these floating around let me know . . . I can't wait to expand my collection!

State of Design

The State of Design Festival has been on in Melbourne this month, I feel so lucky to live in a city that celebrates design in such a way. Last weekend I went along to the Design Made Trade - trade show at the Melbourne Exhibition building - which is an amazing building in itself. Stupidly I forgot to charge my camera after my NT trip, so I have no photos for you!
I did however get to meet a few inspiring people including Anita Cummins the lovely face and busy bee behind the pantone pom poms. - It was great to be able to talk to somebody who is as nutty about pom poms as me.

On Friday Night I was privileged to compete in Iron Designer - which was held as part of the festival. It was an amazing night which was full of laughter and silliness! (two of my favorite things!)
Brainstorming in the final - the three words were . . . moon - yellow - cycle
did you notice the yellow bicycle brooch i'm wearing? we didn't!

Tin & Ed - Iron Designers 2010 - below is what they did to win. . .

ET (wearing yellow), a bike and the moon. . . you probably had to be there but it was very funny!

Well on that note I'm going to wrap this up! It's been an amazing couple of weeks
- Thanks to everyone that was involved!

Ubirr . . . In my opinion one of the most beautiful places in Australia.

And I guess you can't go to the NT without seeing Uluru. . . the scale alone blew me away.
