stylish blogger award - seven things about me

I was extremely flattered when Miss Margaritas awarded me with a Stylish
Blogger Award, recently. She lives in Norway, is cute as a button, owns a
black pug, and has an amazing vintage style. You should check her out.


So, the rules are, I need to tell you seven random things about myself, then I need
to pass the award on to seven other bloggers I would like to know a little more about.




1) I foster teeny weeny kittens without mums, bottle feed
them, and then find them good homes. So often you
 can find a box of kittens underneath my desk at work.

2) I collect all my cats and dogs whiskers when
they fall out and I keep them in a jar.


3) I have been known to wash dishes in the bathtub.



4) I sill sleep with my soft toys.


5) I haven't eaten chocolate in years.


6) I have not been to the dentist for 21 years.


7) Currently, I own six cats, three pugs, eleven chooks and two love birds.


I'm passing my Stylish Blogger Award to *drumroll*

Deer Donna
A Vintage Girls World
Mary Van Notes
Call Me Lucille
A Fine Day For Sailing
Oi Ihana Turhamaisuus
Sweetheart of the Rodeo


Think of these seven blogs as reccomendations
from me. They are all very different, but I reckon
you'll come away with a couple of new favourites.

As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm quite excited about Melbourne's
very first Vintage Clothing, Jewellery & Textiles Show. I've done
several posts on Jenny and her amazing dresses and skirts here, here and here
and I'm thrilled she'll be displaying at the show all weekend. I can't wait to finally
meet her in person. My and girlfriends and I all get her to whip us vintage
repros - her work is stunning and her customer service is second to none.









when i grow up...

I want to own a cat cafe. Cats and coffee - my favourite combination.

fun website discovery







I was browsing on of the blogs on my reading list
 Jeana Sohn and came across a post she did on the
website Closet Visit. Then I realised ...IT IS HER
WEBSITE!!!! OMG it is so VERY fun, I've never
seen it before. I highly reccomend you check it out.
Basically it is a peek inside the closet (and lives) of
talented ladies from all different creative industries.
