thirt times the charm

Bum I’ve just wasted hours trying to update my blog. I wrote a long piece but my mac crashed twice and lost the document both times so here’s a short version… I’ve moved to the centre of Wellington, which is great because it’s only quarter of an hours walk to everything I need and even less to my work. Above is the view from my balcony – yes a balcony I’ve always always wanted one. The only down side (apart from living in the earth quake zone) is that I now get woken in the middle of the night by pissed students singing ‘we are the champions’ I do not concur, they are most defiantly not the champions.

I wanted to also show my breakfast as it was so good and it's Sunday the only day I really make a meal of it :) Simply Paris the café round the corner really does live up to it’s name this pistachio and chocolate swirl tastes better than it looks…

But the main reason I wanted to post was to share some images of these suitcases I bought on trade me (NewZealands answer to ebay). I’m now the proud owner of twenty or would be if Gilly hadn’t taken a few off my hands. A lot are off to the charity shop but these four are staying with me. I have always loved old boxes, trunks and suitcases but I’ve bought these with a plan in mind. I’m very happy to be sorting out display ideas for my first outing at a craft fair as a seller. I’ll be part of Wellingtons Craft 2.0. I’m designing my stand on the idea of a travelling sales man… not quite sure how it’s going to work yet but I’m hoping it’s going to be fabulous.
