I have those two lines hanging above our bed right now, in place of this poster that keeps falling off – no amount of blue tack keeps it staying put! And i can’t frame+hang it because our landlord wouldn’t be pleased with holes in his walls (boring~) but that’s okay i’ve come to terms with it now.
Anyway don’t you think it looks like a tribal queen’s collarpiece? Everytime i take a good look at it, i have the urge to use crayons to draw in some diamond-jewels, a great golden headpiece and i suppose a face to join it all up!
The whole point of this post is actually to ask if anyone would want one? I overestimated and made way too many triangles so now i have two extra strings of bunting. It’s nothing much really to say “hey giveaway!” but it’s a little too much bunting for my tiny home. So if you’d like one, leave me your email and i’ll send one over – wherever you are!
Also, Roberta Jane of Camp Comfort asked a wonderful bunch of bloggers to participate in her How I’d Wear It series, revolving around a cute pair of Topshop denim bottoms. My outfit is up on her blog today so do check it out! It was real fun, now i know why Polyvore exists.

Alas, my prints are ready for sale! And before i put them in my etsy store, i’m want to do a giveaway contest!
This week’s “It’s Been One Week” will be about you. Tell me what is the best thing that happened to you all week! Leave a comment below and i will randomly pick one winner in the next few days. The lucky person will find a set of these prints in your mailbox, anywhere you are in the world, i will be most happy to mail them to you.
A little about the prints: The top left one is titled Susie Salmon, followed by Joe Fox, Cat Stevens and Peter Rabbit. Since i worked on these, the idea behind it seems so obvious but that’s just me being annoying. (Hint: the italicized words) Each print features a fictional character or real-life person and why them? Because they have an animal as part of their name. So you put two and two together and viola! I hand-carved each animal stamp and handprinted each piece. Each print is 5×7″ and i hope you like them.

Pretend it’s about an hour earlier and i would tell you i just got back from cycling to town. The ride was tricky, switching lanes from left to right and right to left. And then we cycled home after a pint of beer – not a brilliant idea at all! I completely rammed into something and the Caucasian man next to me was very kind to laugh it off and told me to be careful. I’m don’t usually get so floaty after a pint but i don’t know what caused it, i always get very thrilled when we go cycling so maybe. Maybe, the two highs clashed.
My cat says hello! Also i think i’ll be posting quite a bit next week, so look forward!

Thank you to the ones who shared some advice on how to make a house a home. I’m happy to say that we have settled in well. Everything is in place and a little cosy! We had our first guest yesterday and dang, we had no drinks in the fridge. So stocking up on Coke is on the list. If your tummy is a little hungry, be warned because there’s a whole bunch of food pictures coming right up (or should i say right down). I have been eating home alot, being home and wanting to be at home while i’m out as well. It is a phase right?
There’s one thing i’m iffy about and that is why isn’t cheese affordable here? Say a block of mozzarella or edam. Is there a cheese specialty shop here, where i can purchase any amount i want? I really want cheese on top of alot of my food so HELP (waves flag)!
