need this

We have a fair collection of Frankie's, Peppermints and other magazines around our house. This is definitely something we could use...


Actually, to relieve our shelves we would probably end up only having these in our living room - no couch, no chairs, just these stools... hehe

Found on design squish, available through njstudio

real pussycat

Holy moly


A real pet lion...

We gave Skol the nickname of 'pussycat' because he is a big sook, and sometimes reminds us of a lion... and basically he's a bit of a wuss .. hehe
But that, ^ that is a REAL pussycat... hahah only in name though, wouldn't want to mess with that one I think. ie. come dinner time you make sure dinner is in his bowl or you'll get it.. hahaha

snow queen!

So we're off to there ^ in a few weeks!!! Where? What? When? How? you ask?
We have just booked a little holiday to Queenstown, New Zealand for 5 days! WOO-HOO!!

Its a snow holiday, and we will be snowboarding (or at least trying to) for 3 days... Should be fun fun fun... Very exciting. I've just been given the low-down on everything to do and get and see in Queenstown by a work mate who goes snowboarding quite often over there. She's given me all the tips... thermals, thick socks, neck warmer, gloves, jacket, goggles, sunscreen.... hehe
Flying on the 27th of July!!
(hope for more snow - they are having a bit of a slow start to the season over there this year...)
