//SIGNS

While I was walking around the other day, I came across these signs, made me smile so much.

I know they sort of look normal and regular, but I loved how they're so simple and exist to communicate a message.

Thought they were very quirky as well! 

Wow, today the weather was so warm in Melbourne, it made me think of the beach and eating fish and chips (which is what you do at the beach!! Among other things of course!)  

If you can see above the second picture the 'mummy' has a little love heart. Don't know how it got there, or who did it, but, I enjoy it nevertheless. 

Thanks for taking a look wonderful, beautiful people!

//LACE and LOVE

Yes, well, in the middle of all our exam studying, I decided to take a break and pratice my photography.  During procrastinating an endless amount  as I was simply avoiding my essay writing (which I am doing now) I was inspired by Nirrimi's blog We Live Young. My goodness, this girl is sooooooo impressive, she's, I think, 18 or 19 years old and she's done campaigns for billabong, diesel and has so much more work up her sleeve. 

I love seeing inspiring people achieve and go after what they love. I think that's why we find those movie stars, singers, athletes, entrepreneurs and anyone who passionately and tirelessly follow their dreams and aspirations so intriguing. We're drawn to those who are not phased by the daunting task before them, but they strive so hard to achive it, and when they reach success, it's just so magical.

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. "

A little note about this dress, it use to belong to our Aunty from Malaysia. I love the lace detail so much and Vess looks slimply gorgeous in this dress!

//A world of PROPS

Well, I really wanted to make a tutorial to show how we made these props, but I realied I didn't take enough pictures of them to make a substantial tutorial. But still, I thought it would be nice to include some more behind the scenes pics of our work station. I realised in the above picture you can see what we were snacking on, German chocolate and chickpeas. (Is it normal to snack on chickpeas?) 

Basically the process to make the props was pretty simple, using felt, cardboard, paper, kebab sticks and lots of glue. It was three layers of the same template stuck down together and a kebab stick sandwiched inbetween to get the handle.

It's quite easy to make, but because we made so many it took as around a couple of hours. The great part is that these props can be recycled over and over again! 

Let us know if you want a tutorial done, or if even if you want some made for your wedding/party/birthday/celebration/graduation/picnic etc.!

And below are just some pics where I got my inspiration from! 

Aren't they awesome?

I especially like the really long beards and the smoking pipe!
