Yum Cha & Daiso

A few weeks ago I spent the day in Sydney with one of my best friends and I took a few photos of what we did, here they are!

At my train station

The best yum cha at the vegan restaurant Bodhi! 

Paper, stamps, and stickers at Kinokuniya - heaven!

So many pens - amazing colours

So much washi tape - it was way too expensive though!

Oh Daiso, I love you

Oops!!

And finally my train ride home, the light was really pretty

We had such a nice day!

Snail Mail Supplies

After I went to the Unleash Creative event recently I remembered how much I used to love sending mail to my pen pals in America, Canada and Scotland. And now I have a brand new obsession! I made a couple of friends at the event, one of which will be receiving a letter from me soon, and I found lots of places online to find pen pals so I decided it was the perfect excuse to buy stickers and stuff to decorate all of these letters with! Here are some of the things I've bought recently

I went to Big W one day and had a look into the craft and stationery section and they had so many good things, including this big pack of Disney Princess stickers and felt clouds!

The other sticks that I bought were from an Etsy store called CraftyCreations2012 and they are an Australian seller!

I got the smaller envelopes that tie from Big W and the kraft plain postcards are from zakkalover on etsy!

Also from zakkalover are these cool envelopes that fold into a box so you can send a few of the postcards if you wanted to!

Tape! I love washi tape and pretty much any fun tape! The floral tape and the black cat tape are from zakkalover, the clouds and hearts tape is from CraftyCreations2012 and the pack of glitter tape is from Big W and I think it was only $4!

The last thing I bought is this huge box that I found at The Reject Shop for $5. It fits a lot of my crafty supplies and all of my envelopes and paper. Plus the colours make me think of peppermints!

I am so excited to start making fun letters to send out to people, it's such a great way to create things and to make friends! Have a wonderful day.

Melbourne Shopping

A couple of years ago one of my best friends, Quincy, and I went to see Taylor Swift in Sydney. I promised Quincy that if she ever came here I would go with him, and not long after she announced a tour. To be honest I wasn't really THAT much of a fan, I just knew Quincy didn't have anyone to go with. So anyways, we went to her show and it was AMAZING. She was so fun and it was a big theatrical event. Quincy eventually moved to Melbourne, so when she announced another tour, I decided to use it as an excuse to visit Melbourne! I did a bit (a lot) of shopping, mainly for Christmas presents, but here are the best things that I bought for me! 

I went to Minotaur, who are really expensive but you get instant gratification for nerdy things like these PEZ sets I've been wanting for ages! And I also got Ms Piggy there - I love her.

I went to Daiso for the very first time (I'd never even heard of it!) and holy crap it is amazing! They had so much cute stuff! I bought a few things, but I think the stickers are my favourites! I actually found out there are several in NSW, so I am definitely going soon! 

I've saved the best purchase for last...

Troll Dolls! I've been looking for some on eBay lately but they were too expensive. Quincy told me to check out this shop on Chapel St and they had a Christmas tree covered in trolls where I grabbed the purple one and as I walked around the huge store I found the big one and a whole cupboard full of smaller ones! They had SO MANY vintage toys and vintage everything! It appears to just be called Chapel Street Bazaar and I want to go back. The trolls were around the same price as I saw on eBay, minus postage, but they did seem to be kinda pricey with other stuff - but I guess you pay for things that are hard to find.

So that's not everything I bought, but it is the best stuff!
Have a great day
