Random nice things: UO
The canvas doctor bag looks suspiciously like a copy of the Birkin but what the heck, it’s lovely too. The pins, because i love to hear Barack Obama speak when CNN is on the telly. This timer is wayy too cute!

Etsy Find: atouchofvintage
It’s 11am here and i havent had a wink of sleep since yesterday, I’m not sure if i have that much work to do or i’m just not fast enough. Anyways I’m trying not to let work stop me from posting here and finally, i get to share this incredible Etsy store which is stocked with loads of vintage treasures.
This is everything i wish i could have in a place of my own. I can only imagine what the seller’s own house would look like. Notice even the red pair of heels look more decorative than wearable. This store is an absolute love.

Etsy Finds: Anything can be a clock!
Today’s Etsy find has left me stumped. I’m easily surprised but stumped, not often. Well IMOTIME from San Diego, is one amazing fella who makes a clock out of anything. Let’s go, i’m gonna stump you too.
First there’s the Scrabble clock,
and how about a take-out clock, i love take-out boxes
then ooo, a bag clock!
and i love this weighing maching clock cos it’s secretly a clock
how about a vintage radio clock
and a vintage rotary phone clock
so it might seem perfectly normal to have a tin of tea clock
aha! how about a clock on your toilet seat cover!
or on a connect four game
a viking helmet?
and lastly, my favourite one, Mr Potato Head
So this led to some Googling and seems like it’s relatively do-able to make my own clock out of anything and everything. One for the DIY books.

DIY – Lights
Last weekend we went to Ikea and i picked up these chrismassy lights (actual name is Glansa with two dots above the first ‘A’). I’m all about lights and lamps really. And so initially i had planned to display them in a coiled up wire-sque sorta manner, on my shelf, beside my books (it looked nice in my head of cos) but when i came home to execute it, kwa kwa kwa.
So this is what i came up with.
This is an old photo frame also from Ikea i had since i was living in my old house. And i’ve kept it till now cos i had the idea of doing a painting and using this frame to frame it up but didn’t.
So this frame had a default “painting” in it from Ikea, i didnt take pictures of it tho. What i did was just to coil up the lights and place them in the center.
When i put out the lights, it becomes this!
And the colours of the lights change all the time so it’s pretty to watch and the colours aren’t harsh gold or white or blue. If lights could be described as gentle, these would be it.
I’m really quite glad with how it turned out.
