my bro (who so kindly did all the behind the scenes work on my website.) is obsessed with the snow and snowboarding about as much as I am obsessed with art.
with me talking about blogs and what not all the time, he decided that he would be up for that too, which I think is great, and started his own one.
I love it when people that you know or family members blog. Because as a reader I think you get a different experience out of it, than you would reading a strangers blog. You see, with a stranger, you don't know anything more about them apart from what they share in their blog. But with someone you already know, reading their blog is like hearing about a whole new side of them that you didn't even realise existed. You learn things and I think it is just great (like when my boyfriend starting blogging).
The bro's blog is all about the Australian snow season, just starting to take shape once again for winter, covering weather, fashion, boards along with other things. It is great because he gives it a bit of a young edge. I particular like this post because I think it is a great example of how weird the economy is, and how frustrating it is for us Aussies who go online shopping!
I have been staring at all the loveliness for too long.

Despite the fact that it is getting harder and harder to get up each morning here in Australia, people over the other side of the world are starting to experience those lovely longer days and warm glowing rays.
To celebrate, the wonderful Poppytalk Handmade have just launched their new market, Here Comes the Sun.
The market is curated by the wonderful Poppytalk, who has a fabulous blog, which is a daily read for me, and features so many lovely things, I think it is a great way to shop for all things pretty, summery and of course handmade!
Be sure to check it out and keep an eye out for some Leeloo stars! *cough* me *cough* rejenerate *cough*
And I am not that jealous of the approaching summer, because well, coffee tastes that much better when you are cold!
And if that ain't cool enough.
You get to receive parcels with
sweet sweet stamps on them. (see above).
Thanks the wonderful Nuka.

All prints in the YART section of my shop are are full 35% OFF and have FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!
But wait, never fear, for the rest of the items in my shop I am offering FREE SHIPPING within AUSTRALIA, so come on locals, now is your chance! (I hate shipping prices).
I have been doing a bit of YART browsing myself, and have already added a few to the ol favourites!
But when I see blog posts like
Maybe it is just a case of
Having not really ever had a sale before, and loving shopping in places that do have sales, I thought I might jump on board and join in on the YART Sale, that is being unoffically run over at the wonderful Etsy.
This year's sale will be the “2nd Annual Yart Sale on Etsy sponsored by Team ESST.” It will take place June 10 through June 14, 2009. Everyone with a shop on Etsy is invited to participate!
I will be organising a little sale section in the shop, and I will probably throw in some free shipping offers just for fun too!
So be sure to keep an eye out on the 10th June (I will probably just start in Aussie time because otherwise I get too confused!) and I will post back with more details on the day.
little drawing by me in blanket magazine issue 16
really love this online mag, blanket magazine. If you haven't heard of it before, I seriously recommend the 2 Bucks to download it. So much super sweet art and so much "good value" for the emerging artist/illustrator.
And I also have a few reasons behind this little promo.
1. I have a little drawing nestled in one of the pages! Have a look!
2. Gorgeous new illustration in there by Bec Winnel.
3. Lovely interview and portrait by Kate Lightfoot.
4. The whole thing is good. Get it.
So much goodness.
