Tulip Cheeks

Look at this!

Ive tried to get it to turn round...but it wont, its stubborn. It says it will and then it doesnt. (I know a Mr TC like that when it comes to housework).

But look! Its all my friends at TP - theyre on a Christmas card and everything! Its so magical to see all their faces again. I really miss them all. Up to 7 years of getting to know (and love) them all and Im missing them!

I said to mr TC and our TuTu and Rennie - when i got the card 'I just wanna show this to my new work people and say - LOOK - IM ACTUALLY ALRIGHT _ IM A NICE PERSON _ PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE ME_YOU MIGHT LIKE ME TOO" but then, like Mr TC said "TC - you had lunch for the first month at Tigerprint in your car" soooooo.

Words cannot express...

How proud I am of these boys! For those of you who dont know these likely lads - they are Tigerpprinters - of the finest variety. They have been growing their moustasches for the excellent cause and have raised over a whopping 1500 pounds! (yet again - no pound sign on my Aussie keyboard).

This fantastic photo was taken by the very special Jacqui Sugar Brown and I just think the way she has captured all the personalities is spot on.

Well done lads - I miss every single one of you - especially Rich T's dirty and suggestive banter xx

Can Anthropologie come to Melbourne next please?

Oh my word do I wish we had an Anthropology here - there is some ammmmmaaaaazing stuff on their website alone. I know back in good old Blighty they have just opened in London, I went to the one in New York when we visited there earlier this year for Bloody Lovely's Birthday. I just love love love the eclecticness of it all. It just goes to show - you dont have to stick to one theme (ive always been a fan!)

Im a huge hauder and wont part with many of my possessions - or other peoples (wonder who I get that from Daddy!?) I love to be surrounded by meaningful things - and I really dont care if they dont go together. It was the same for our wedding. I didnt really have a theme - if I liked it (or it fit the bridesmaids boobs) I chose it. 

Anthropology's people who take the pictures have taken my underwater observation one step further and have a section where all the products are peeping through ice. - Tigerprint - a freezer for the photography studio? No seriously how cool would it be to have one of Batter's little characters in an ice cube - caption "chill on your Birthday". ?!?

Movember has finally arrived

Its finally here! and could it BE any hotter here in springtime Melbourne? These poor guys are trying to grow facial hair here!

How lucky for all my chums at Tigerprint who can grow their mouzers in the chill of autumn. I must say how proud I am of them all - I keep seeing updates on good old Facebook and they are all doing REALLY well. I saw these cool mugs on a fantastic website based over here, its caled third draw down and my GOD has it got some AMAZING stuff on there! They work with over 80 established and up and coming artists to showcase their fantastic designs. It really is an amazing website FULL of cool stuff. I cant wait to visit their store - i think I'l wait till I get paid first (first one coming this week!! WUHOO!!) Check it out Tigerprinters past and present - you'll dig it the most!

What a great day!

As if going to do a big shop wasn't enough excitement for my day - driving home - I stop off at that spider house they call a post box...and I see the post mans been - with a parcel (hes left a little note). 

Looking very important i reverse and shoot straight to the parcel post room. I know where this is because our Wifi got delivered there and the address is something like 161 Male St, Via Lane Ways. So there I was looking for a shopping centre-like building called 'Lane Ways' - going up and down the street. eventually i park up and ask someone - they too look puzzled - i show them the piece of paper - turns out Lane Ways - means 'alley way/path' -Joy!  As if life wasnt hard enough they've got a different word for PATH!

Anyway - my parcel is from my lovely friend Tutu and is full of goodness!

Firstly there are messages on post-it notes from my lovely friends at Tigerprint, which i've put on my fridge...

I MISS YOU!

Then there were amazing thoughtful presents from Princess Tutu - 

and a lovely card.. " the heart is a pin cushion so you can put your pins and needles in it when you're cross-stitching! And i thought the paper chains might keep you busy until your things arrive!"

In the parcel were lots of envelopes which (correct me if im wrong) should keep till a later date to open?

And, AMZING news - Mr TC and i are to experience chocolate as we know it again - Tutu - our savour has sent supplies - a Boost!

A real English Boost! Mr TC and I took out a loan and bought one the other week (it was £1.50!) and it tasted like dog p*o - and dont be going 'have you ever eaten dog p*o then TC -  no I haven't eaten dog p*o, but ive got a bloody good idea what it tastes like. It tastes like Australian Boosts.

The next thing is to decide when will we eat it...will we celebrate when our furniture arrives and crack open the Boost? naaah - it probably wont see the morning.

ps. note the 'Roasted Capsicum' dip in my fridge! 

Thank You Princess Tutu  - you've made my day xx

  

If Jacqui were on a bun.....

This isnt gonna make sense to alot of you guys, but the famous Jacqui Sugar Brown is on a bun!

I found this images AGES ago, but havent have my mac working to post it. Therefore Ive forgotten where I found it. 

Those of you who know the JSB must, like me see a massive resemblance!  

Just liked it....
