Graffiti art

 I'm a big fan of graffiti art.  I find it amazingly intricate and vibrant.  Here is a local urban find that is just tickety-boo!

Horsey bike

I have a friend who loves horses.  I'm not sure that she loves bikes, but if it were a horsey bike then maybe she might just feel the need to ride with the wind blowing through her hair helmet.  Horsey, by Eungi Kim is very naff and don't we love a bit of naff!

A few pencils

David Stark, the NY event guru, puts on some spectacular events that obviously have matching budgets.  This one was held for art patrons and each guest received a post-it note and some pencils to doodle on during the night.  A gazillion pencils (16,000 to be precise) were used for the event and the time it must have taken for them to set up and install is phenomenal.  I am in awe of this man and his creativity (and his client budgets). 

What to wear in a desert?

No doubt you're like me and naturally would be able to pull out of your wardrobe one of the same outfits as the SATC girls.  Desert glam is all the rage (in warm climates with lots of sand). 

"These are the people in your neighbourhood"

Well where have I been and what have I been doing if I haven't been blogging?  It's a very good question and I'm not sure I have all of the answers.  However... here's a few to keep you sweet.

I have a new stunning office and it's such a gorgeous space to be in with some lovely people to boot!  It's been so nice to go to work somewhere other than home.  I'd forgotten how nice it is to separate home and work. 

Other things... a movie night outside, a bit of solo city shopping, a successful-of-sorts trip to ikea (whereby things were bought; but not what was intended), a headache or two and a wee bit of painting.  Today also started with a super twin christening.  Such cute and happy babies, their lovely mum, more lovely people and a delicious church hall spread with a bit of impressive themed decorating! 

Here's a couple of shots of what's happening in my neighbourhood.  It's a bit like Neighbours only better and with less drama.  How vivid are these stunners?  Thanks Mark and Rach for letting me stalk your garden for this shot. 

Office things

Office storage is on my mind.  I have a lovely new space to work in but I'm ready for some new 'bits and pieces' for my desk.  With my brown paper and string already sitting on my desk I'm feeling the need for a bit more neutral toning.  Kikki.K might be the stop I need to make to fit me up with some office inspiration. Either that or a trip to Japan for some of their infamous stationery supplies.

Fundraising fun

A great weekend full of fun and frivolity.  What an amazing fundraiser and what fun we had!  Here's a few shots of the fantastic theming and the incredible delights on offer for afternoon tea.  The dancing showcase was an absolute highlight.  Well done to you all, you should be very proud of your efforts.
