First point I would like to make about my visit to Bondi this Sunday is to never attempt to leave there via public transport at around 4pm on a lovely hot day. Just to sum it up, it was chaos. About 300 people trying to pack onto buses to the city. And then the buses having to fight with the traffic. Don't try it.

Now that is over, I can focus on the day that was a little visit to Sculptures by the Sea at Bondi Beach, which is probably just one of those things that if you live near by, you should probably go and check it out. It is great. Just try and avoid busy days. I decided to take my boyfriend to celebrate a special day of ours, and I wasn't the only one with the grand idea to visit that day let me tell you!

See the cute little outfit I am wearing, my new favourite vintage purchase from this lovely shop. 

Sorry I don't have info about the artists for the works, I don't have the little booklet. But if you go, you can find out :)

remember how I said that I am going to be productive and actually work and produce art. And then I started showing you some sketches see flickr. I never used to do "sketches". But I think they help give direction. 

 I even used my easel. When I grow up, I want to be an artist.

if you cruise over to the old vintage shop (well it is actually new seeing as I only just opened it!) you can check out some of these little treasures. if you so please. 

Hope the weekend was sweet for all. I know I am feeling mighty jealous that I don't live in melbourne and don't get to attend wonderful exhibitions and the like.

After many friendly bloggers had talked about this lovely mag, went and got myself a copy. And oh am I glad I did.

I have always considered my self environmentally conscience, in the likes of using less water, never getting plastic shopping bags, remembering to turn things off at the power point, and more recently seeking out organic products and food. But it is amazing when you look into how far and deep and ever present the 'whole enviro thing' this. It is great. And I love learning about it. And I love the approach this mag takes. So check it.

It is funny how this all sort of came about around the time when I opened my little vintage shop. Last year when I took the handmade pledge I have always tried to do exactly that. While I have always been a huge vintage fan, my love was more based on the fact that I love it, not because it is supporting the idea of recycling reusing, and a whole lot else in regards to production of clothing. 

I love how my opinions on this have now opened an expanded into so much more than just a love for something! I mean hey, I can actually love and buy something and know that it is for the great good! hehe.

What things do you feel are important about going green and saving the environment, I love hearing what is going on in your lovely heads.

Well, let me introduce you to grandma's chest of glory. Wow. Crazy. I have opened a new shop. I have lots and lots and lots of lovely little things to add, which I shall be doing over the coming weeks.

So if vintage is your thing, and you are feeling like filling up your glory box, head on over. You just mind find something special for you!  

I really wanted to get the pictures right for this shop, because it is quite different to what I have been selling in regards to 'artwork'. I hope this will be a great little journey for us all, and I would love your support and feedback along the way too.

Just a few little things you should expect to see over in the wee shop

I have figured out that I tend to get really excited about and idea, throw myself totally into it, but never manage my time properly or really follow it through to completion. I have sooooo many little craft supplies and bits and pieces of things I have started and just never finished. It is annoying really.

That is why it is just totally normal that I am going to open up another etsy shop! Huwhahh? I hear you say. I hardly spend time on my current shop these days let alone starting something new!

Never fear. My time management skills have improvemented. And I am going to do this properly! Wee little art4friends will still be pottering around as is. And I most certainly be keeping up with this little bloggette. But soon I will be introducing you to a little treasure chest of vintage and sweet finds. All to share with you.

But this time I wont rush and try and open it right away.

So I am currently in the development stage. And then soon someday oneday I shall have a little opening of sorts.

Who knows, it could be later this afternoon! (Jokes)
