The cutest lamp in the world

I don't think this little fella requires any further explanation!

Craft Zines... are Kiwis just more organised than Aussies?

Is there an Aussie indi crafter's magazine as lovely as those produced by our NZ cousins at World Sweet World and Extra Curricular? Perhaps there is and I simply don't know where to find it. Let me know if you are aware of such a beastie! These zines are beautifully styled, full of practical projects, recipes, profiles etc... These are both available from Lark online store, which is a treasure trove of miscellaneous lovely things.

My other favourite things from Lark are...

This series of books by Edition Paumes... the text is all in Japanese but these books are really about the beautiful and inspiring photos. This is the issue I have, which is page after page of beautiful little apartments in Paris, creatively styled by their mostly-designer inhabitants. These eclectic, vintage, crafty interiors are just the kind of thing I aspire to in my own home. I've only been here for a few months so the journey is only beginning! My partner Peter and I now own a cute 1900 weatherboard cottage which has some nice features for me to work with and add to. I'll post my renovation and restoration projects on here as they progress.
