telephone

There may be a new highly coveted iphone coming out, but on my wish list was an old vintage Bakelite Telephone.
Which I was lucky enough to receive today for my 23rd birthday. :) The phone has a lovely old fashioned ring, and works perfectly. I love it.

sketch book

Photobucket


I recently bought a book called 'Sketchbook' by Timothy O'Donnell. A very inspiring book that shows the sketch books of designers, revealing those initial concept sketches.
The book encourages designers to start drawing and doodling before going to the computer and starting to create.
There is something very beautiful and fascinating about sketch books, they give a small glimse into the inner workings of a creative mind.

For some inspiration:
Ted McGrath, and his awesome doodles, and an amazing sketch book interview


Treat and Treasures a sketch book journal blog.

Chain scarf

Photobucket

The weather is getting colder here in Sydney and I've started pulling out the gloves, socks and scarves.
These awesome chain scarves have been around a while, but I'm yet to see any here in Sydney, maybe I'm not looking in the right places.
If only I was better at knitting... maybe I could try the fabric one.
