hey hey it's yesterday

yesterday my cute boyfriend and i decided to leave the house for a while. in case you were wondering, his name is lee and i like him very much. first we went to a few nice antiques barns and thrift stores around the place.

i was looking for a nice blue blouse, much like something zooey deschanel might wear, but instead i found some blue bows to clip on my shoes, a red corduroy skirt, a sailor top for my little brother and a cute review sweater. they also had some really nice parasols, but they were those transparent types that don't serve much of a purpose at all other than looking very pretty.

when we finally tired of shopping we fed our nacho cravings at chillies. naturally, we drank pink lemonade, or whatever silly name they decided to call it. nothing is sweeter than pink lemonade. here you can also see the bag i had with me. tomorrow i will have to show you what else i wore.

to end our night we went to one of our favourite movie theaters in the valley to see submarine, equipped with bags of candies from the supermarket. we didn't like it a whole lot, but it was nice to see nonetheless.

birthdays and miniatures

hello! today i finally got to rest a little. i finished my big big project and i was really quite happy with the result, so i thought i would celebrate with a present to myself. what better present to buy than miniature foods! today i bought a nice little white display case, a bread basket, three bread sticks and some pink cake boxes. i think if i wanted to collect anything, it would have to be miniatures. they're just so damn cute. you have probably already seen my miniature candy jars in my camera post, which is actually very relevant because i'm getting a CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW and i'm clearly very happy! instead of the d80, it will be the much nicer d5000, and i am really quite excited. i will also get to wear my best review dress to dinner with my parents, which will be very nice. other than that, i will be spending my day writing about toasters. i can't say it will be the most enjoyable birthday, but there will be plenty of time to celebrate soon enough.

strawberry sundae and bubblegum

yesterday my sweet boyfriend took me to the ekka. for those who don't know, it is a big exhibition-type thing with rides and sideshow games and showbags filled with candy. it's an awful waste of money, and you can never seem to win those huge plush ponies that you're dying over because it's always near impossible to get the ball into the hoop or shoot all of the ducks or pop the right balloons. it also only happens once a year, which is perhaps the big incentive for going. probably the best thing was the strawberry sundaes. they were out of pink icecream, which made us all a bit sad, but it still tasted magical. they always fill them right to the bottom with strawberries, which is a very nice thing to do in my opinion.

i wore my cute new skirt, which is probably nicer than a lot of my skirts combined. my boyfriend has decided that it might just be his new favourite. i also picked up some cute little candies, only because i was dying over the blond wig that came with the showbag. i also bought a little black wig. it's already shedding all over, but it's still damn cute. i will have to show you how it looks some time.

towards the end of the night we made our way to a little auditorium where wolfmother played. i am not their biggest fan, but a free concert seemed like the perfect way to justify the stupidly expensive entrance fee. the main guy had a very cool voice. a little bit like a sheep.

candy jar

today i'll show you a beautiful candy jar that i found about half a year ago. i'm still searching for just the right thing to put inside it.

i think hundreds of these beautiful little gum ball-type candies would be just right. isn't the little miniature packaging so nice!
