This long weekend has been really productive for me. Since the weather just so warm and sunny, we done a lot of spring cleaning ( woohoo! ). The house now spotlessly clean and organised ;)

Anyhoo, today will be the last of Find-day Monday installment ( for now anyway ). Due to work commitment and other 'stuffs', I regretful have to say 'ta ta for now' for Find-day Monday. I will still be posting every Monday but not as restrictive to just collections of my finds ;)

Well, let's continue on to this week Find-day Monday, it is all about kawai and cute illustrations. I love to draw and I love to check out other talented and awesome illustrators out there who have the similar styling style as my drawings. So here's some of kawai illustrations that I heart at the moment.

1. Gorjuss
Just as the name say; Suzanne from Gorjuss make simply gorgeous illustrations.

2. Mikimono

3. Charuca

4. Buku Buku

Of course, it won't be a kawai illustrations finds without the talented Mr Simone Legno's Tokidoki Illustration.

Find-day Monday: Love colours your life

Good Morning Bloggers!

via +

How was everyone's weekend? In the weekend, the sun finally came out to play. After a very long winter, it feels so good to feel sunny warm day ( can't wait to wash our bedsheets ). Of course, we took the advantage of the sunny day to do lotsa weeding! Our backyard and frontyard are full of weeds (due to extreme rain for the past couple weeks), so off we go killing them with weed killer and also plucking them as necessary :p

Anyway, lately I've been in this colourful mood. I love all things colourful! ( explained the several colourful blog posts for last week ;) So to kick off the week and also to follow on with my colourful rainbow craze, this week Find-day Monday is all about 'Love colours your life!'

I stumbled upon a talented photographer based in Jakarta, Indonesia called AXIOO who has a very pretty blog. It always warms my heart to browse through their folios and also amaze me on how they always come out with creative idea and concepts for their exhibitions.

Regardless, I had so much fun, tasting new foods, checking out farm animals and pets and of course eating carnival foods! (corndog, bbq ribs, cotton candy!! - oh how much I miss thee).

Find-day Monday: Glorious H2O

Good Morning Bloggers!

h2o

How's everyone weekend? It was so sunny and warm in the weekend, can't believe that spring is finally here. Well, the forecast for this week is still cloudy with a chance of rain, but at least it much more warmer now (Finally I can say: Goodbye Winter!).

This week Find-day Monday is a little bit different, it's not about fashion or decor, but instead it's about something that we always use everyday and perhaps at times took for granted. 'It' is a humble thing yet with good marketing and packaging, 'it' can be a luxurious item. It is a humble water. Yes, you heard it right, a simple bottle of water. 

Over the weekend I went around the city and stumbled upon a gorgeous and yes, pricey a bottle of water (VOSS & antipodes) But man, it was so pretty to look at, I just couldn't resist! So I hit the net and check out what other luxurious bottles of water are out there and here's my round up:

1. VOSS, 2. Iguatzu falls, 3. Pure Water Company, 4. Puria Water,
5. Evian Origine, 6. antipodes, 7. Ô Water

Pretty looking uh? Not only pretty, you can also use it as vases or decorative decor item when you finish with it! For me, I always so lazy to drink water (I can even count the number glass of water that I drink in a day within one hand). But when I drink it in pretty bottle, I tend to drink more ;p

Have a good Monday everyone!

Find-day Monday: Fabulous Trinkets

Hello lovelies!

Handmade Tasmanian Oak knitting needle

How's everyone weekend? Hope you're all have a good and recharge weekend. My weekend has been quite uneventful; just staying at home, doing some chores, doing my knitting which at the moment doesn't seems to grow at all (man, knitting a scarf is hard work ;p) and doing some crafting (which at the moment is still a top secret ;)

Moving along ... now that I've been blogging Find-day Monday for more than a month, I think I should narrow my finds into themes rather that sporadicly posting about random and unrelated items that I heart and fancy.

So this week finds are Fabs Trinkets! I love love love collecting unique trinkets, even though sometimes I have no idea what to wear it with, I would still buy it anyway (I really need to stop buying at impulse).

1. Rainbow Hoop earrings by Papermode.
How gorgeous is this water resistant handmade paper beads earrings? It is so unique that there's only 50 of these earrings available in the world. It's available from Papermode or if you're in Australia, Upon a fold sells them too.

When I see this, it reminds me of when I was kid; I used to weave ribbons just like this to make friendship key chains (note: I can't remember how to do it anymore now as I did it when I was 10).

2. Striking Resemblance Necklace by Anthropologie
Collector beware, this next necklace will have you dying to own it! With its vintage but modern twist looks, it is a must have for those who love one of a kind necklace.

3. Paris in spring time Brass pocket watch necklace by Oh Hello Friend
At the moment, I'm loving everything Paris related! This gorgeous vintage pocket watch by Danny from Oh Hello Friend just perfect to complete my cravings!

4. Tea Please earrings and necklace by The French Factory
For those who love Alice in the Wonderland or just simply love tea party, then these piece of jewelery are totally just for you.

5. Peonies ring by Jenny Kim
I love flowers rings! I have like 4 flower rings already from the bling to the colorful, but this one I just totally drools over! Simply gorgeous!

6. Porcelain rings by MaaPstudio
Talking about rings, look at this rings by MaaPstudio! Totally gorgeous and to die for. I love the clean cut, white pastel colour combinations.

Fandango turquoise 

Napa valley coral brown

San Martin Yellow

So what's in your trinket box lovelies? Is it full of vintage charms, pop-color trinkets, modern simplicity jewelery or full of blings of diamonds, crystals and pretty shiny stones?

ps: just in case you're wondering why I have knitting needle pic at the beginning of the post. It's because my boss just gave me one of that gorgeous Tasmanian Oak knitting needle! I'm so excited to try it out! He knew that I just starting to learn how to knit, so this oak knitting needle definitely motivate me to do more knitting! (Thanks D!) What a great way to start a Monday Morning ;)

Have a nice day everyone!
