Blogtoberfest - Day 31

And it's over! 31 days of posting. I must say I'm exhausted (^_^) There was some good posts, and some dodgy ones... but I have to say, it really did reinvigorate my blogging.

And now it's Halloween. You wouldn't know that we're in Australia at the shops, retail has really embraced it this year. Well who am I to complain, I love costumes and lollies!

Anyway, be sure to go and visit Tinniegirl and go see all the others that have finished their month of blogging! Well done everyone!

Blogtoberfest - Day 30

It's 11:52PM....but this still counts. Last day tomorrow!

Goodies borrowed from one of my local libraries yesterday:

Did I mention that I love libraries? Because I do.

Blogtoberfest - Day 27: Knacktober

I can't give up now, I can see the finish line! But bloody hell, I'm just exhausted! Serious case of the "can't be... bothereds"!

I'm a terrible person, I can't remember where I got this image from.

The good news is, my giveaway is being drawn tomorrow. Yay! So stay tuned!

Blogtoberfest - Day 26

I'll be here in two months time. Won't that be nice?

Blogtoberfest - Day 25: A lovely way to spend... a Sunday

Well, when they said it was going to rain, they really meant RAIN. Like, Noah and his Ark rain.

Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea for a visit to Newtown today for coffees and

bookstores and other nice Sunday things. And it was! Until the rain...but we managed to ensconce ourselves into a cosy little cafe, so we were fine. There was a little bit of running and squealing, but that is not unusual for me!

I bought myself some treats today, because I have been so good all week and yesterday was spent in the depths of Dewey. We went to Gould's Book Arcade (via the brand spanking new Mag Nation store), where I got a Sookie Stackhouse book for $7.95 which was not what I was looking for, but still a nice surprise!

We then went to Pentimento, which is an absolutely delightful stationery/book/home shop. I could have spent A LOT of money there, so I was quite restrained. I did buy two things though that I couldn't leave the shop without.

These delicious measuring cups from Worldwide Fred:

And these sticky notes from The Small Object:

I was also tempted by this new book from Penguin:

I'm an absolute sucker for felt creations! But as I said, I exercised restraint...

We were also going to duck over to Waterloo to visit some friends selling at the PYD Market, but the aforementioned torrential downpour soon put a stop to that!
