birthday love

september has come to be fondly known as 'the crazy birthday month'. most of my closest friends have their birthdays in september as well as my dad and sister! smack bang in the middle of this is my birthday (coming up next week)...! i'll be 25. eek.


i made a grand discovery last night - look at this book!!!! it has all the op shops in brisbane listed in here.. oh my! could it be any more perfect? i am posting this as a not so subtle hint to some of my friends who perhaps read my blog... pretty please?? also if you live in brisbane and love op shopping then this is the book for you. check out more over here

i am also currently having a love affair with vintage (or handmade) wooden toys! i don't know what it is about them but i love the idea that they have been made by hand and loved before. i have no children and no immediate plans to do so but i figure it is never too early to start a wooden toy collection. right? check out some of my favourites here and here...
