Yesterday I went for a little walk, I went out the back entrance of my house, down the road and crossed over to Beresford Square.
The big main tree there was looking magical, covered in a streamer of knitted lightbulb covers!
(These used to be on display in the window of Oui Boutique in St Kevins Arcade, not sure if they are the same ones as those had a string of light bulbs in them.)





Then I continued on my walk, went to the post office and into the front entrance of my flat where I saw this little guy sitting in the palm tree right by the crossing.


Hope everything survived the rainy weather we had today though.

It was all done by Sharon Russell who is an AUT Visual Arts grad, whose artworks have been in Frankie mag! More about her here.

PS, I am totally addicted to this ice cream, a chocolate one with cookies and fudge in it. I accidentally bought a tub last week and its almost all gone! Whoops.

Tangles

I think I'm instinctively drawn to hair like this because my hair will never ever look like this. Well, not unless I grow it for the next 10 years and then somehow tame the curls a bit.



And also maybe I like plaits because they look a bit like they're knitted!

Cream and Pink

Lately I've been drawn to pink and cream together, especially knitted things, even though it's almost the middle of summer here (although the kind of weather we've been having lately, some knitwear almost wouldn't be so absurd).

(girl from Hel-Looks, a dress that might end up on Trademe, a scarf that I'm knitting, a tiny childs jumper I bought at an Op-Shop the other day and will never fit me but I couldn't resist it, and my jewellery-heart from $3 Japan)

This new ad for Miss Dior Cherie perfume is a bit like a whole pink and creamy kind of world and makes me want to move to Paris and fly away with a bunch of balloons.
