Today I signed myself up for The Sketchbook Project. In a few weeks I'll receive a sketchbook and will have until the end of January to fill it with whatever I like and then send it back. The thousands of sketchbooks that are sent back will then be exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. And when they're done galavanting they'll become part of the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library for public view. When you sign up you have to choose a 'theme' - mine is 'Time Traveller'. I am super, super excited.



Want to sign up? You have until the 31st of October.
Use the code "ADDAFRIEND" at the checkout for a discount.

I bought this one of a kind jacket last weekend while on a little day trip with my friend Sara. We stopped in a tiny town called Wynyard (famous for its tulips) and I spotted this shop - a wonderfully 'organised clutter' antique kind of place called Mother Hubbard - I entered, walked all the way to the back without stopping, pulled out this jacket and then bought it. I would have loved to have spent a few hours browsing, but I knew I wasn't going to find anything to top the jacket. I'd love to go back. What a shame it's a three hour drive.

I wore this outfit today while C and I rode around opshopping. It was slim pickings today but I did find a rather nice art deco buffet for our tv to sit on. I hate waiting for things to be delivered though - I am very impatient. I also saw one of my dream couches, but after sitting on it for some time contemplating C and I decided that our existing couch doesn't yet need replacing (my cats are tending to that though). I am certain it won't be there next time. Oh well!

Care to share one of your happy places?

I don't wear white very often. Yesterday I wore this dress, ate some pasta and dropped bits of it down my front - it now has some never-coming-out orange stains down the front. White should be worn with caution and not by the careless and clumsy (me). I might buy some fabric dye next week and spruce it up. Also, It seems that standing in doorways makes you look very short. I am a whole 5'4" tall - not as short as this doorway would have you believe. Now... here are some pictures of my cat and a baguette - he's been trying to gnaw through the plastic since C brought it home.
