Whatever the case, it certainly has me rethinking how I spend my hard earned money and I encourage you to do the same. I really love browsing in little stores. I love nothing more than going to one of many awesome bookstores that we have here in Sydney. I really want to be able to do that. They provide wonderful advice and service - often lacking in an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">internet</span> purchase. But without our support, these little guys will not survive in the fickle world of retail. And it of course is not just limited to bookstores!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>This subject is close to my heart, as I have the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">privilege</span> of managing a cute little <a href="http://www.calicoandivy.com/">store</a>. We are supported well by locals and crafty types who can come to the store and appreciate the efforts that go into <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">orchestrating</span> what you see as you step inside. We are a place where you can browse, ask, talk, learn a new skill, shop and be inspired. We love providing this environment. It's wonderful to see the delight of a customer going home with a new project that they are excited to start. We love that you are learning new skills that are old skills, passed onto us by someone who cared enough to teach us.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is your perogative to spend where you see fit, but please, remember, your spending does affect this country, which in turn will affect you and your children. I think it is also fair to say that international internet shopping comes with a fair share of gamble as you do not get to touch, feel and experience your goods before purchase. So it is not respectful, nor fair to think that you can enter a local store and view it as your personal catalogue for your future internet purchases. This unequivocally is not ok. Ever.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541290861856330302noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690283098371467632.post-72298209547679510342011-02-08T13:43:00.000+11:002011-02-08T13:43:26.452+11:00#comments#comments<a href="http://calicoandivy.blogspot.com/2011/02/catching-up.html#comments">#comments#comments</a>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541290861856330302noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690283098371467632.post-18485871919831396612010-08-14T18:53:00.004+10:002010-08-14T19:22:11.521+10:00Early Morning Market<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JQ2e5VI57WPQL64VvBu2GfX28AgHvHikSVE_Xulk6b85V1ABjtYk52ZNMMCmPf59StlJi5S23A9eDOZ5ZkOCrlknhiNXbfW2ufvza_vfXaXNvEUuEemIbh1DNkZD2ggB-nZl8H7Xu-4/s1600/Aug+2010+057.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505187095015371730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JQ2e5VI57WPQL64VvBu2GfX28AgHvHikSVE_Xulk6b85V1ABjtYk52ZNMMCmPf59StlJi5S23A9eDOZ5ZkOCrlknhiNXbfW2ufvza_vfXaXNvEUuEemIbh1DNkZD2ggB-nZl8H7Xu-4/s320/Aug+2010+057.JPG" /></a>I love snowdrops.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7IH9w0EPkGf-B-MoGfTdv7PFW-oYsaaf9GsrZntPRofA7B5GAVftDruifpftHML-Xs9AqKRu9tMp36vK485J2Q_Dy4liNd_qM-QcGw-KhPj6whEsleVibMMvBbDsdHthZBuZv2e53Hw/s1600/img031.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505187091399857890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7IH9w0EPkGf-B-MoGfTdv7PFW-oYsaaf9GsrZntPRofA7B5GAVftDruifpftHML-Xs9AqKRu9tMp36vK485J2Q_Dy4liNd_qM-QcGw-KhPj6whEsleVibMMvBbDsdHthZBuZv2e53Hw/s320/img031.jpg" /></a></div><div></div><div>And my Nathalie Lete colouring in book.</div><div></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFEjg-YEC7G1W9ux1e2rzvwVlOEhVhxKQ2LhP-4Lk1S6wXQth4qVjsbgh6SDsSV6vQFIOfvht7bXo4H2rWR2bNsdXvOhgN2sJiqSzel6dMFWIVlDMka2a77jM3caQfDQXP5yrP9gSjgyI/s1600/img030.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505187078974423538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFEjg-YEC7G1W9ux1e2rzvwVlOEhVhxKQ2LhP-4Lk1S6wXQth4qVjsbgh6SDsSV6vQFIOfvht7bXo4H2rWR2bNsdXvOhgN2sJiqSzel6dMFWIVlDMka2a77jM3caQfDQXP5yrP9gSjgyI/s320/img030.jpg" /></a> </div><div>She will be painting the windows of <a href="http://www.blueillusion.com/">Blue Illusion </a>in Double Bay on 28th September, 1.00pm - 4.00pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picture this - pub on a Thursday afternoon, still full from lunch, mother walks in with children needing a toilet stop, toilet stop complete, rushing, rushing, make way through pub. Full. Of. Men. Are you dying yet? Racing out the door 5 paces ahead of my children when my 10 year old says, "Wait, Mum, Mum, there's a problem!"<br /><br />Yes, that's right. Dress caught in pantihose! I skiddadled faster than Hairy Mclary.<br /><br />Moral of the story....always throw out your holey pantihose. Firstly, because they are holey and secondly, because they will look ghastly when your dress is caught up in them.<br /><br />So, in the name of my embarrassment, think of this often and smile. Bloody hell, it's all I can do!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSRT2D6Y3K8WxVN9Qpa5iS2G3sbrgQ8lkrNYtgiLtgQD8xnqGf7ITlzsiD16KdBqjE1-Mqn7hvoCIzriQDXp2m86S55s145V1nokS4NbfmbiOH7pBd5fz3T3s7fRGTRGLOTzSAwOQeihM/s1600/lohan1726.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 237px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSRT2D6Y3K8WxVN9Qpa5iS2G3sbrgQ8lkrNYtgiLtgQD8xnqGf7ITlzsiD16KdBqjE1-Mqn7hvoCIzriQDXp2m86S55s145V1nokS4NbfmbiOH7pBd5fz3T3s7fRGTRGLOTzSAwOQeihM/s320/lohan1726.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501866527311882642" /></a><br /><em><strong><strong>Image from <a href="http://http://www.jfxonline.com/tag/panties-in-dress/">here</a></strong></strong></em>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541290861856330302noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690283098371467632.post-75210442694451053322010-08-04T16:39:00.002+10:002010-08-04T16:49:12.828+10:00Look at Me!

Day 2 - are you excited?<br /></div><br /><br />These little pieces are from the box of stencils on yesterdays post. They are a recent vintage find and are ever so endearing. That fox is, well, foxy to say the least!<br /><br />Over the next 19 days of habit forming blogging, I may just post the odd photo, something I'm working on, a covetable piece or two or hopefully something of inspiration. These days when I look around at blogs, I love nothing better than finding a simple image from somebodies private world. Usually, it's just enough to put a little spring in my step, put my shoulders back and generally feel grateful.<br /><br />Note: Spell check is telling me covetable is not a word and the big fat dictionary is too far away. I think it is a word. If it isn't, it's a new word for today.

Check out those gorgeous pillows the little ones are lying on. Oh, and check that quilt out!<br /><br /><br />i'm coming back to credit those photos.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541290861856330302noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690283098371467632.post-18055242828575105872010-05-26T14:45:00.004+10:002010-05-26T14:59:31.079+10:00Hexagons<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAir_tEys7FUJujNFBaqyKiWeMReaHsY5rMUYrTdmmjD3hyblktXFwyk-N5Ev3P1KZFUuwF_ufCjJdOJDIDAHyaZq9cKK8lmXL7L3x8vN9Ld-VUp5Fq4r9jig84-ydh7uctwy87i3QVrE/s1600/Hexagons+001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAir_tEys7FUJujNFBaqyKiWeMReaHsY5rMUYrTdmmjD3hyblktXFwyk-N5Ev3P1KZFUuwF_ufCjJdOJDIDAHyaZq9cKK8lmXL7L3x8vN9Ld-VUp5Fq4r9jig84-ydh7uctwy87i3QVrE/s320/Hexagons+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475436519824693170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_C4X5tXn-JuX0cPnKaEGEvodtZCFdb9bVJ7hMJL7NMqL_0QCtXzo3qd6ACWyYjaNzOZmCzFAN_0TLjeOFWiBTRFwcpldWLUia-nJPX7nIHQvErQ7eM1Wmvt1yJ2Q51BelxHXPZp0LhA/s1600/Hexagons+015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_C4X5tXn-JuX0cPnKaEGEvodtZCFdb9bVJ7hMJL7NMqL_0QCtXzo3qd6ACWyYjaNzOZmCzFAN_0TLjeOFWiBTRFwcpldWLUia-nJPX7nIHQvErQ7eM1Wmvt1yJ2Q51BelxHXPZp0LhA/s320/Hexagons+015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475436512884765138" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqHUGNnW-j9KUmO-o6qY2e06uMKgYVP-II_WMSPkJR0chwvvDa39CFfkWjhmGLy9NuGo7qguGWyeX-JC3KWH1w9Pm9cARM5n9Mksy3Y08Wnqwfyh-5-RZEDYMmcYoVhoTLnDU_dC_4P7E/s1600/Hexagons+011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqHUGNnW-j9KUmO-o6qY2e06uMKgYVP-II_WMSPkJR0chwvvDa39CFfkWjhmGLy9NuGo7qguGWyeX-JC3KWH1w9Pm9cARM5n9Mksy3Y08Wnqwfyh-5-RZEDYMmcYoVhoTLnDU_dC_4P7E/s320/Hexagons+011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475436509089085122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEStjyHZhvHyqGwz0GkFgQsCkK5GFLu0lvBE5zTS0qxZCDtsMHCVL9oPt8Tnpj82Igv2pCHOefwpcX4yRtiz2LkHtz2wfu-O1jzdJLknE36Ctubv1Cu2WTuvRNAeXNwHd0YuDOI8hhnU/s1600/Hexagons+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEStjyHZhvHyqGwz0GkFgQsCkK5GFLu0lvBE5zTS0qxZCDtsMHCVL9oPt8Tnpj82Igv2pCHOefwpcX4yRtiz2LkHtz2wfu-O1jzdJLknE36Ctubv1Cu2WTuvRNAeXNwHd0YuDOI8hhnU/s320/Hexagons+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475436501304867730" /></a><br /><br />Blogger - what are you doing? I haven't even told my story yet! <br /><br />These little 1/2 inch hexagons I've been working on since Easter, after seeing something similiar at <a href="http://www.materialobsession.com.au">MO</a> by Brigette Giblin. They are such an addictive little habit, especially given that I was never, ever going to do hexagons, ever.

We then headed for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bowral</span> in the most casual of fashions - <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">after all</span>, we were sans husbands and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">childrens</span>! So to some lunch at <a href="http://www.elephantboycafes.com.au/">Elephant Boy</a> and then a meander along Bong Bong Street. We found the very gorgeous <a href="http://www.myplacebowral.com.au/">My Place</a>, spent quite some time admiring fabrics and beautiful things until we realised that time was really getting away from us and we needed to cover more ground. </div><br /><div></div><div>Our last stop of the day was <a href="http://www.peppergreenantiques.com.au/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Peppergreen</span> Antiques</a>. Even after numerous visits to this amazing store, I am still very overwhelmed by it. It is an antique store with department store proportions. Huger than huge. I delight in the extensive haberdashery collections, the linen - sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, that cover a huge space, the teacups, the cutlery, the jewel, the vintage magazines. The above photos are from there.</div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541290861856330302noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690283098371467632.post-59698776441145189002009-12-28T22:33:00.005+11:002009-12-28T22:59:04.477+11:00Anthropologie for D.

I followed this theme up on our last night in Houston as we were drifted off to sleep at about 2am - I think -when the room was quiet and the other two girls had almost drifted off, I thought it high time to start spreading the news, because indeed, tomorrow we were leaving for the big lights of the big apple!
