Min Farmor

Last Sunday I had a lovely family 'reunion' lunch with my Dad, who had flown from Perth to visit for the Australia Day long weekend. I always look forward to seeing the photos that my Nanna brings to every social gathering. Most of the time the photographs consist of various cruises, holidays and parties she has attending recently, but this time was a little different. Among the shots of fancy restaurants and her many friends were re-prints of some very old photographs she has still managed to keep from her childhood. I think they are so beautiful, with most of them taken in Sweden, as that is where my Dad's side of the family originally hails from.

Please do not steal/share/reprint or use these images in any way, commercial or otherwise. 

Be Mine?

This year I am back to creating fridge magnets using an assortment of vintage cards and I thought to myself, what better way to celebrate a cheesey holiday with than with the cheesiest gift possible for your loved one? Therefore, the Vintage Valentine Magnet Sets were born. If all goes well, these will be on sale very shortly in my Etsy store. I'll post back to let you know when they are listed. If you would like to be privy to the behind-the-scenes happenings of my label, pop on over to my other blog: www.pannikin-accessories.blogspot.com

Alec Eiffel

Today I ran riot in Ikea with Henry and one of his new housemates, Riley. I kept filling the trolley with cool things I thought I wanted then putting them back in incorrect places along the way. What I ended up with was a mini ironing board (not that remarkable to some, but a godsend when your bedroom has about 3 square feet of available floorspace and you like to iron-as-you-go when sewing) and a plump little rat named Alec Eiffel.

Here we are on the drive home:

 

 Like me, he enjoys mini road trips but gets a little car sick if he reads too much or watches the lines on the road whiz past.

 

What was the last thing you found at Ikea?

"Go Tell Ricky Scrotum"

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure to doll up my sweet friend Jackie Buscarino for her movie premiere "Go Tell Ricky Scrotum."  It was so much fun getting ready.  We even had some extra time for a short photo session.  Special thanks to Junpei and Mark for letting us borrow your cool pad.

 

 

Congratulations on your film Jackie!!! <3
