I Just Love the Smell of Old Books

To me, there's something amazing about the smell of old books. I've always loved going into second hand books stores, and searching the shelves for something awesome.
There's an excellent second hand book store in Glebe, called Sappho Books. They have heaps of old books, first editions, sheet music and a lovely little cafe - that becomes a wine and tapas bar at night!

However, my most recent purchase was a little more modern. I bought it from eBay!

So, do you shop in second hand bookstores? Or do you prefer your books brand-spankin new? Or, do you own an e-reader? I'd love to know!

Hope your day is spectacular :)

Vintage Weekend

I love markets. And second hand shops. The things you can find are just amazing!

Here is what I found!

"Original dirt"?

I also found these lovely earrings, I just couldn't resist! 

We also had brekkie at a little cafe, where they had blankets for your laps! I haven't seen that before! 

Certainly helped keep the chill at bay :) 

Hope you had a lovely weekend! 

Current Obsession - Decorating

Good Saturday to you!

As you may know, John and I are getting our own place soon. Now, in my head I imagine us buying all these excellent vintage finds and funky little decorative pieces and have our home all nice and awesome straight away. However, it probably won't happen that quickly!

So, here's kind of what I'm planning as an end result... :)

I also don't want to make it too girly, as it's a place for both of us! 

So how about I get this framed?? 

And as we're both Harry Potter fans - how bout this?

And I really want to make this and put it in our kitchen! 

I'm also a big fan of turquoise. 

And I'd also love to make one of these to put in our room

Anyway, so that's what I've been looking at this afternoon, hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!

Farewell March!

March has been a pretty busy month for me! There have been new friends made, new things learnt, new experiences, new movies watched (The Hunger Games, yay!) my first photo shoot and much more!

Check out my pictures below :)

Crossing the Sydney Harbor Bridge on a beautiful Sunday

How cool is this pic? It's almost like it's out of the 1920's or something! 

The Hunger Games. 'Nuff said. 

John at the Lindt Cafe!  

Darling Harbor, Sydney. 

How was your March? Hope it was fantastic! 

Vintage appreciation

Look at this beautiful image of a Vogue cover from 1918. I love it.
