I'll be back home in Australia in about a month though and I'll be reunited with all my stationary, which because I'm super dorky makes me awfully excited!</div>

I should have taken more photos of inside the little recipe booklet because it was so sweet. It had all these handy tips for making the perfect scones and had all different variations you could make. There were a heap of these little recipe booklets and the seller said they used to come in tea packets, wish they still did! </div>

Hi all, sorry, I haven't posted in forever! Studying in America has been amazing but I'm leaving in two weeks :-( Then I'll be travelling for about a month, THEN BACK HOME TO AUSTRALIA!</div>

I have seen so many beautiful vintage signs over here but most of my photos are taken out of the car window and are super blurry. But here are a few of my favourites that I got semi-decent snaps of. Enjoy xx</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hello all, so I'm back from Tasmania and I had a wonderful time! But more on that later when I get around to doing a post with tassie photos. But for now I'll show you my new dymo labeller :-)</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I already have a cheap labeller and when I saw this vintage dymo one for $10 at an op shop I almost wasn't going to buy it, but then I saw that it came with old tapes. I normally buy my tapes for $4 a pop and this labeller came with 7! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's a lot easier to use than my other one too, and the tapes are pretty colours and matte, unlike the shiny ones you can buy today. I've been using them on all my mail lately :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This is my latest obsession. At the moment they are all blu-tacked onto my wall but when I collect enough, I have grand plans to sew them onto an old woollen blanket like <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/susanguyphotography/7406879260/" target="_blank">this one</a> (isn't it perfect!) and pretend I'm a scout.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I went antiquing on my birthday and treated myself to the board you can see in the photo- it's from a local(ish) RSL that shut down. It has the names of the club officers and life members etc. and it came with a box of letters that I can add on (although I probably won't). I am so in love with it, not really sure why, but it's just so daggy and cute!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The wooden cookie box is probably one of my favourite gifts from my birthday. You can't see the detail in this photo but its hand painted and the cookies have embossed patterns on them. I can't wait to take it on a picnic! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello all! Sorry, it's been yonks- about a month now! I finally bought a camera yesterday, hoorah! I didn't end up getting an SLR coz they were a bit out of my price range (thanks for the advice though everyone), but I bought a sort of in between camera that takes pretty good photos, so I'm back now, yay! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found this Ken Done scarf which I am super stoked about. Ken Done is a rad 80s Australian designer who I am a little in love with. A lady at an op shop the other day found an amazing Ken Done doona cover, which I only noticed after she picked it up, and she bought it to use for her dogs. I already have one like <a href="http://insideoutcolouranddesign.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/DSC01583.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>, so it's not like I need another one but it was s</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">o cringeworthy :-P</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All you have to do is paint an envelope salmon pink with watercolours, allow it to dry, then use red paint to do a simplified version of the mendl's box design.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't bother drawing the design first, mostly because I'm lazy, but also because I like the uneven look, but if you prefer a more perfect envelope you could trace all the swirls etc from the actual box design. Don't forget to substitute the words for your friends address though!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">p.s. I may be absent from this blog for a little while because my camera has broken :-( I have yet to decide what type of camera to get - is it worth the extra money to get a slr or should I just get a still shot camera? I am torn because I would like to have better quality images but I don't want to spend too much- definitely no more than $500 so it would be on the cheap end of slr's- is their quality still good? I am by no means a photography person so any advice would be much appreciated!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I saw Wes Anderson's new film 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' today and I am in LOVE! I think its my favourite of his so far (which is saying something because Moonrise Kingdom is one of my all time favourite movies). The colours and the building were what made it for me (although everything else was of course fabulous). If you haven't seen it I would definitely recommend :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The other week Fee from <a href="http://burnt-feather.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Burnt Feather</a> sent me an amazing parcel of goodies, and I'm finally getting a chance to share it :-)</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She sent me a shell bunny! It is so cute, and it was perfect timing for easter :-D She also sent some scout badges to add to my collection of patches (which I took photos of today, so I'll post it soon), a sweet hedgehog notepad, vintage wrapping paper and a little Australiana dish! </span></div>
