The winner of frankie’s the photo album is #28, LAUREN! This little lady has impressed me on so many levels, especially her sophisticated taste for someone so young. And all this through mere observation from my computer screen, imagine meeting her in person, I explode!! Lauren has started a blog to record her europe-trotting days and I think out of anyone I know, she should live in Paris. I’m so happy this book is going her way!
I hope it’s alright I share your blog, Lauren 😡 And I sure hope your boyfriend doesn’t mind his photo being on here too! Congratulations doesn’t sound as fancy-nice in French so how about I stick to Bon Appétit!

I was tagged by Weareyouneak to show 7 things that are bling-bling! Sadly I didn’t make 7 and they don’t really count as bling, ha! I am so un-bling.
Sequins on my 1920s flapper dress / Indie’s collar / metallic silver nails / disco balls on my tree / stickers for mails going out
I’m tagging Y, Sel, Sarah, Diane, Young and Rae! Show me what you got ladies.
Well urm, these two photos stand alone, I know. I made new origami and went to the park to pick twigs for a project I want to try out. I’ll post more when and if it doesn’t fail.
P.S. I’m drawing the winner of frankie’s the photo album at midnight, so last chance honey!

A boxful of comforting goodness was sent my way from mimipong. Nothing beats opening my letterbox and see it stuffed to the brim.
There’s Weep, the tear doll / A guide to coping with sorrow / A handbook featuring collaborations with 25 artists in Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau / A set of vivid and saturated photos-turned-postcards of Weep hanging around Singapore
I heart the idea of the note pad sewn onto Weep, where you can pen down what is making you sad and give it a hug or squeeze for some lovin’. It’s a role reversal to me, no one really addresses sorrow openly. I’m actually beginning to feel Weep is more than just a blue plushie…
Weep comes in two sizes, one big enough to hug and one small enough to hold. There’s also limited edition artist dolls like this one, and it comes with a hankie pouch.
One for the photo album, Ada’s glad as hell she has a new company. What were the odds, blue and red? I took Ada along for a sleepover on Friday and she got called a ghost/Chucky the entire night!
Mimipong stocks at Strangelets, Rockstar and Cat Socrates.

I want to advocate buying handmade this Christmas but I’m having difficulty with it myself, I’ll admit. So if you have friends who are open to handmade (which can be rare outside this blogging community), buy handmade!

Good morning! I’m so very excited about this giveaway, mostly because I wanted a copy so very badly after reading about it on Ringo, have a banana!, so I’m sure some of you would like to get your hands on one too! I picked up an extra copy and I’d love for one of you to receive it in the mail in time for Christmas.
Some of my favourite people have their photos in this issue. Amy Borrell of cake with giants, Annette Pehrsson of the hymn for the cigarettes, Sarah Beaver aka as sherbetone on Flickr and Caitlin Shearer.
To stand a chance to win, simply leave a comment. The giveaway will be open till 15 December, so it leaves me some time to mail it across the globe if need be! This giveaway is open to everyone in every part of the world! I will draw someone’s name randomly and announce the winner on 16 December. Spread the word! x
