Handclaps & Fingersnaps


Today is the second last day to enter the mix share swap. Anyone can participate regardless of music taste, location or anything else, just throw me an email at biancajagoe [at] gmail.com . I'll match up the majority of names today and then tomorrow afternoon I'll email them all out. The swap is officially closed :) Here is a collection of some mix CD packaging I thought was particularly sweet;


+ kabartist and kthro


+ elo vazquez and brown line at night


+ charlie wheatley


+ cianaa and matthew stephen edwards


+ mystery moor


+ every in orbit 1 and 2


+ sevenphonecalls and melanie richards


+ utifallatt and roman à clef


+ dirty boots samantha 1 and 2


+ jackiearr and threw_a_spark


+ dirty boots samantha 1 and 2


+ parallel botany


+ charlie wheatley


+ mystery moor and brown line at night


+ mystery moor and almost phony

Hope they provide you with some inspiration :)

In/Out

^ Tony Hong.




^ A wonderful package from my friend Paige in Sydney.


^ A red envelope full of sweet things from Lila in Poland.


^ A delicious recipe postcard from Garci. I am definitely going to try this one out.


^ A very cute fold and mail letter from Wendy in QLD.


^ Some sweet feet from Lauren.


A good mail week for me is one in which I send as much (or more) as I receive. I managed it this week (but did I do any uni work?...)

^ A starry letter to Rebecca.


^ A long overdue letter for Mariah.


^ For lovely Caiti.


^ I made a mix cd for my brother and his wife, hope they like!


^ A little letter for lovely Molly.


^ A mix cd I owed Lauren, hope she likes the tunes!


^ For miss Justine. After chatting to her yesterday on Gmail chat I though it was time I replied to her sweet letter.


^ For Tesra in Michigan.

I also thought I'd mention that Natasha at The Secret Tea Party is hosting a cute swap that you should check out.

Blue Dress

^ inga birgisdottir

I finally found a nice clothes shop in my new city; a pretty little vintage shop called Vintage Fair - where I found the blue dress below. It is long sleeved, ties at the waist and I love the colour and I'm hoping to find more of its sort. The lady at Vintage Fair told me that her store is the only vintage clothes store in Launceston, which is a shame, but she did have a good range. I will definitely return with some more coins.



^ Vintage blue dress, Glassons cardigan, Dangerfield scarf, generic black stockings, (slighty daggy but very comfortable) Rivers Mary Janes.
