Happy holidays

Been away camping with friends, first time since the family camping trips of childhood... Some beautiful scenery, great little boutiques and cafes, and much relaxing...

Lots of jellyfish and bluebottles. Fun!

Jam Jars at Cocomangas, Monday night (mmmm!)

The view from the Lighthouse lookout, beautiful!

High society treasures...

...Some of our new jewellery and accessories we'll be unveiling at our first market stall, hopefully very soon! Stay tuned for more details soon!

Polaroids are back (well they will be by mid 2010) according to Sportsgirl, thanks to the persistence of people who love/need/want/must have polaroid (That's what people power does!) The soon to be re-released Polaroid One is going straight onto my wish list!
Please and thank you Santa :)

When you were little, did you ever...

... spend hours with the siblings yelling into the pedestal fan, laughing at how funny your voice sounded? *Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhzzzzzzzzhhhh*

... make "cow patts"? (you put a bit of every ingredient into a bowel, mix and bake into muffins... then try to eat them, lol! Hillarious!
(Lauren G & I made several batches over the years. Some good, most not, lol!)

... Play KFC in the backyard. You set up shop in the backyard and "drive thru" on your bikes to buy "chips" (bread cut into chip shaped pieces) with leaf money. Awww...

... make cubbies with whatever you could find (our favourite was under the kitchen table with sheets for walls OR several umbrellas in igloo shape)

... played around for hours in the photobooth (WE HAVE! Fuuuun!)

Making the most of the little moments...

GALCOS, (LA, California) and a man called John Nese

[Watch the clip here]

How sweet is this guy! A true master of his field (soda pop, yum!) and so passionate about it, i love it! It'd be nice to see more businesses with that old fashioned ethic, where each item/product/experience was crafted with skill, in depth knowhow and a big sugary spoonful of tlc. These kind of businesses are my absolute favourite, they have so much character! Do you know of any store/business with that special something (like Galcos) in your town?
PS: I think the Rose Soda sounds AMAZING!!Which one is your pic?!x
