Trolly Pockets*

I've recently gone through a period of nostalgia and I became very interested in finding all of the toys that I used to have when I was a kid. I hate that I had all of these cool toys and when I became a teenager I guess I thought it was a great idea to throw them all away! Now I am trying to slowly collect bits and pieces so one day when I have kids I can show them the stuff I used to play with and say things like "back in my day we didn't have hover boards - we had to use our imagination" (I assume hover boards will be invented by the time any kids I have are teenagers).

First are my trolls which I shared photos of when I purchased them, but they are so cute I wanted to share them again! I am quite sure I had the purple haired one when I was a kid!

On my desk I have my Polly Pockets. I had the clock one when I was little and for some unknown STUPID reason I threw it away?! I found one on eBay and the seller was also selling the cat one and I couldn't resist it.

I love this one. It still has the girl and her little white cat in it. It's so pretty.

A close up of the clock and thankfully it still works! My old one used to sit on my bedside table.

And inside the clock. Unfortunately this one only came with two of the figurines and if I remember correctly there was a Grandmother figure and possibly another girl, but I don't mind! I am happy I found it.

That's all for today. Hopefully as time goes by I can collect a few more bits and pieces and I also started a Sylvanian Family (aka Calico Critters in the USA) collection because my Mum wouldn't buy them for me when I was little as they were so expensive (and I don't blame her!). Maybe I will share pics of those one day too!

Thanks for reading! Do you have any old toys that you bought because you had them when you were little?! Let me know!

Amos Update

We have now had Amos for 3 months and they have flown by! He's such a funny dog. He can be a bit excitable at times, but he loves us and is so happy to hang out with us. He loves food, and his favourite toys are the ones that you fill with treats that he has to roll around to get the food out. He chews everything, and loves digging holes but he doesn't do any major damage so it's not something that really bothers us. He likes to steal socks and enjoys barking at garbage trucks! 

He also loves galloping around the backyard at 100 miles an hour! 

I love his gangly legs 

He always looks so sad, but he's just trying to fool you into giving him treats! 

Um, excuse me, didn't anyone give you permission to be so cute with that folded over ear?!

Isn't that the cutest face you have ever seen in your whole life? I just wanna smooch him all the time! 

We are so happy we adopted him. He still needs a LOT of training, but he's getting there and I think eventually he will be an amazing dog. We love him a lot! 

Have a wonderful day,

My Geek Space

A super rad blogger that I discovered recently had a cool idea of sharing geek spaces...

The Idea:
Show off your Geek Space. It could be your room, your office, your living room, even your kitchen. You can include what's on shelves, you can show off a little or a lot! There really are no rules. Now go on and show us your #GeekSpace. When you're done send mollyskywalker[at]gmail.com an email and she'll add it to the #GeekSpace master list(You're welcome to use the image above for your post if you like) 

I thought it was such a cool idea and decided to share my favourite spots on my bookshelves! Check out more info here at The Princess and the Geek!

In one section I have my figurine of Lulu from Final Fantasy X along with a cactuar and moogle plushy also from Final Fantasy. In front I have my little Gizmo toy - I love his ears. 

Another section houses my Walking Dead figurines that my brother Glenn bought me, a glass jar containing a bow tie from my best friend, a T-Rex that I bought from the Dinosaur Museum in Canberra and finally my Time Turner from Harry Potter!

Next are my Princess Leia Pop Vinyl figurine and tiny little Han and Chewy toys that I think I bought from Coles or Woolworths!

My favourite part are my Walking Dead Pop Vinyl figurines - they look so cool all lined up along with my Kaylee from Firefly figurine, she's my favourite <3

So those are my favourite spots in my geek space! Let me know what you think :-)

This little pennant is so sweet and I want it for my office! 

Zakka Stationery

Absolutely gorgeous stamps.

cupcaketree on etsy

I have been obsessed with the idea of getting pen pals for the last week and I think 

this little snail mail stamp would be so perfect for stamping onto envelopes. 

I need pen pals to justify buying it for myself!

That's everything, have a great weekend!

Daily Instax April 23 - May 6

I love taking my daily instax photo, it's so nice to have a little snippet of each day! Here's what's been happening for the last two weeks in my life (cats). 

When I kept Noah isolated he fell in love with this bed + morning porridge - I love cold weather

Baking potatoes on ANZAC day + Peach is jealous of Noah's special food

Fried ice cream + making a to do list and drinking coffee

Scaredy cat + I love when my babies sleep near each other

Got my hair done and it felt good so I was whipping it around + our new polar bear quilt cover!

Picking a nail colour (in terrible lighting) + I went to Blog Society's Unleash Creative event and they had this cool piano in the space being used. I had the best day making friends and making things - I might do a post about it soon!!

A peek of the things I made at Unleash Creative + oops I went to Spotlight and bought amazing things

That's everything, you can see my other daily instax photos here.
Take it easy!

Instagram Recap April 2014

Here are my favourite Instagram pics from April - they are mostly of cats but if that's a surprise you know nothing about me!

My two girls <3

Noah's cone came off and he hid in laundry hamper so I couldn't put it back on + Violet hiding under the sheet 

Fangs + Jurassic Park (I watch it a lot OK!)

Precious sleepy girl + Amos wanted to smooch my phone 

I swaddled Violet + Noah loves to cuddle up at night <3

This isn't the first chicken I have found in our yard + *pokemon battle music plays*

A big bone to help calm Amos when Nathan mowed the lawn + Violet playing in my blanket - her eyes are amazing

Our vet often has kittens that need homes, I wanted to bring this little dude home + a poor sick Violet (she's getting better!)

A good month for cat photos! Follow me on Instagram here if you want to!
Have a great day!

Good morning. What a week! I didn't do my usual Monday and Wednesday posts and I blame my lack of ideas and the fact that another one of my cats got sick. I swear we take good care of them and the vet said that we aren't doing anything wrong, but these things happen! She will be OK, and that is the main thing. I did manage to find a few cool things this week though!

Stay Home Club

Stay Home Club have amazing stuff and I want this pillow because it's stating the truth about me!

Domino Dollhouse

The Craft was one of my favourite movies when I was a teenager! 

I think I need to buy this singlet and the Craft on DVD.... 

Slow Factory

You may have noticed that I like stuff with a space theme, and this scarf is right up my alley! 

Modcloth

Ahhhh these are just the most perfect plates ever

McKean Studio on etsy

I would love to hang this in our home! (Currently not in stock - hopefully it comes back)

Modcloth

The perfect mug with pink kitty jellybeans :-)

My final favourite is a new TV show that I watched this week called Defiance! It's a show made by SyFy and it has drama, action, sex, aliens, and a bunch of other cool stuff. I am really enjoying it and stars Australian Grant Bowler (from Blue Heelers heh), Julie Benz who was in Dexter and Buffy, Mia Kershner who played Jenny in the L Word (ugh Jenny), and a lot of other people that I recognise from here and there. Can't wait to catch up on this!

That's all for now, I have a few other blog posts to make and should be back on track for the next few weeks! Have a great weekend.
