had an awesome weekend (GLWE ’09) with the high school pals…12 girls (I use that term loosely as we’re all over 30 now…) in a big barn in the middle of the country with way too much french toast, wine, cheese and Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice (don’t even ask what that crap was…)
Got some gorgeous earrings from a little shop in Balmain/Rozelle crafted from tiny paper cranes made out of japanese paper…I’ve always had a love for miniature things…
Sorry again…will update with a better photo when I get a chance…
Small tip, the op shops around this area are really good…saw a Parker coffee table and multiple pieces of kitsch homewares I wanted to snavvle up…booo…must plan a trip to the south side op shops…
But, I was very restrained and didn’t really buy much else as I didn’t want to carry it all around…stupid excuse I know…
My friend also lives basically next door to the wonderful Society Inc. which was unfortunately closed each time I was there…had a very good peek in the windows though…and lots of lusting after was had…
Some more bullet points:
- Tintilla Estates 05 Shiraz is awesome, as is their Rosato di Jupiter (A rose! I hate sweet wines! But ah hah! It’s not sweet!)
- Berocca actually does what it says it will do…I’d never tried it before and now I am a convert…
- The new safari is awesome…it is fast, and smart…love the guessing it does as you type things into the address bar, the Top Sites page and the status in the right hand side of the address bar…glad they took on board the feedback from the beta and sped it up!
- I promise more crafting will be done soon..I have a couple of things in the works, just no time…
- Coolest site of the week: http://www.gestalten.com/
Gonna be as quick as possible with this as I wanna watch Hell’s Kitchen…
So I was given a watch for xmas in 2005 by my gorgeous Khannie. It was a Nixon watch bought in Canada and I loved it to death. Unfortunately, because I loved it so much, I wore it all the time and it wore out, the band (which was irreplaceable as it was glued to the face and was unique to the design) basically fell to pieces…
As I loved it so much I contacted Nixon Australia to see if they would replace the band for me. They said no they couldn’t as they weren’t making them with the bands like that anymore. Boohoo…
But, if I wanted to they would REPLACE it for $40!!!
I was like nah…this can’t be right, they’ll just somehow attach the new band to the old face, but holy crap…I got it yesterday morning…a brand new version of the same watch for $40!!! This watch retails at $250! My old watch was weeeelllll out of warranty! It was a 4 year old watch!
Anyway, kudos to Nixon for their awesome customer support…who’d ever expect that to happen these days eh?
BTW off to Sydney/Hunter Valley for the girly long weekend…will report back with some awesome double denim photos…
