Ahoy there me harties!

Just a quick post to introduce you to Pirate Pete. He's a little bit shy at first...


But he eventually comes of of his shell. Or should I say cone?


I went op shopping with some friends the other day and one of the girls bought us all a lucky dip at Goodwill. I unwrapped this cute lil' fella rugged and terrifying swashbuckling pirate, who I have dubbed Pirate Pete the Poppin' Puppet :)

Hoot

Extreme apologies for the lack of posts for uh...two months tomorrow exactly, oops! I haven't felt much like taking photos lately and uni has been busy as usual. I'm down to my last two assignments for the semester, and then one exam in a few weeks, yipee :) This is just a quick post to share with you my new study buddy, Virgil.


I acquired him recently for 50c. He sits on my desk on top of my trusty Collins Compact Dictionary that I've had since primary school. Although not really sure how 'compact' you would call it. I thought he might motivate me to study, with his little mortar board and scholarly bow tie and spectacles. Hopefully that motivation will kick in sooner rather than later. Once the holidays arrive, I promise to take a lot more photos of my finds.

Excuse the 'Whooga' advertisement in my sidebar. I'm trying to win some new ugg boots to replace the ones I currently have which are years old and have a hole where my big toe is on my right foot. It's the fourth day of Winter so they would be nice and snuggly for my perpetually freezing, badly-circulated feet :) I want my toes to be toasted, not frozen!

Goodluck to everyone who has exams and assignments due :)

If I only had a heart...

Mum wanted me to share with you the new little friend she made at the op shop today. He is 21cm tall and doesn't have a heart, poor thing :( I tried to tell Mum not to buy him, but I'm glad she didn't listen because he's growing on me (well not literally, as he's made of plastic). Introducing...
The Tin Man

Mum took a liking to him so bought him for $4 (really only cost $2 because I found a $2 coin on the floor... we were evil and didn't just donate it mwahaha). We're now keeping our eyes peeled for Dorothy and co :)

Tomorrow night the boyfriend and I are going to his friend's 21st in town. The theme is 'Think Outside the Box'. The invite suggests appalling fashions and terribly clashing colours so of course a trip to the op shop was in order. Let's just say my outfit involves silky mixed animal print pants, a red silky jacket and a blue belt with some kind of diamante horseshoe buckle. Stay tuned for picatures ;)
