Kiwis on Etsy!

I thought it was time to feature some of the amazing etsians from New Zealand- even though the name of this blog is the Australian Etsy Blog, I think it would be nice to feature some kiwis as well. Actually I was born in NZ, so it's even more appropriate :)

Navy Merino Beanie by NaturalStar

It's funny, I've only recently started to look through the New Zealand items on etsy (I don't know why I didn't think of it before)...and I've already got my eye on so many things...especially snuggly things!

WishList Wednesday

My wish for today (and every other day actually) is to be a real person. One who can get up on time without turning off their alarm every 5 minutes for two hours (serious), one who doesn't pour hot water into the sugar jar instead of their tea cup, and one who doesn't look like a strange combination of zombie and person-who-has-suddenly-grown-taller-so-their-tops-don't-meet-their jeans (most uncomfortable in winter, I can assure you).

I have been collecting some yummy new things to start my transformation, including a very daring little black dress (whoever invented the name 'bodycon' dress should be slapped), some cute black heels & a brand new laptop bag from the lovely Bobishi on etsy so that I don't have to look like such a dork:



Now- I just need a few more things.... ;)
