I am making some "pretend" postcards for Kraftbomb using a variety of old postage stamps. I had a look on TradeMe at the postage stamp listings and found this stamp in a set for sale. Cute huh? Check out his charming friend here.
From the new album Screens by The Mint Chicks (I am listening to it now and I am very much enjoying). Some of the scenes in this video were shot at the Winter Gardens in the Auckland Domain, which is a pretty rad place too. The giant owl makes this video all kinds of awesome, even made me chuckle the first time I saw it. I mean, who doesn't like owls?!
I just had to post these, even though I saw them months ago. Aren't they cute? I stole them from Lainies blog.
Don't you just love owls? I am making a few hanging owls for my etsy shop which I hope to commence one day... in the near future... (I move slowly.. hehe).
If you are the maker of these cuties please let me know. I would like one!
My sister Nie and I had a lot of fun at our first Kraftbomb yesterday. The morning rain was a bit of a pain but it brightened up around noon and it turned out to be a glorious day. I sold a couple of manila bird cards, gift tags and felt owls, but not as much as I had hoped. All good experience though!
Met some really nice people and I knew a few of the other vendors so that was nice. I found that time passed quite quickly and I didn't get a chance to see what everyone else was selling! Overall, an excellent day and well worth the time and effort.
And... on returning home I received a very nice surprise. Gemmy, a gorgeous owl by Becky, who was selling her amazing art at Kraftbomb. Adorable!
See the leaves all tumble down! Rake them up into piles so high You can jump in them, and flop, and lie. Now the farmer harvests his hay. The barn is filled, And every day is growing shorter. We have to wait the whole long month for spooky Halloweén. What are you going to be? A ghost? A witch? Or a queen?

I'm not into Halloween myself but thought I'd share these cute illustrations from a Richard Scarry book!
Another cute thing... Pumpkin Owls! I saw this on a Martha Stewart podcast and thought this was a nifty idea. I am unsure of where you could get perfect pumpkins like these in NZ though! You can download the free podcast from the iTunes store.
