Books Glorious Books
Wonderful! There are many more images like these at bookshelf porn.
How do you organise and display your books? In my office I have two bookshelves with everything grouped by kind, but in the living area I arrange them by colour. At first I found it a bit annoying to try to find a particular book, but I've come to know what colour the spine of each book is and it's not a problem anymore. I do have a lot of books!

abcd Spring Meet-up :: For Bloggers
18 September 2011
Spring has definitely sprung here in Sydney - the days have been so beautiful and gardens are bursting into glorious colour. In fact the predicted temperatures for this week look more like a taste of summer than early spring. It's lovely to feel the warmth in the sun again.
Spring also means that it's time for our quarterly abcd meet up for bloggers here in Sydney, which is hosted by Steph of Bondville and I. It will be held on Thursday 29th September - that's next week. Our relaxed get togethers are a great way to connect or reconnect with other creative types.
abcd stands for artists + bloggers + crafters + designers, so if you blog about any of those creative topics (your own creations or other people's) please come along. Have a drink. Make some new friends. Exchange information. Be inspired by one another.
This time we are introducing a sort of speed dating. Sort of! We thought it would be a bit of fun and a great way to make sure everyone meets each other. So at the beginning of the night we will have a timed period where we can spend a few minutes with each person to connect and say hi, and put a name and face to the blog. In our usual style it will be all very casual and relaxed and lots of fun.
The goodie bags have continued to be a huge success, so we will have them once again for this meet up. Last time the bags were bursting at the seams with handmade goodies and little mementos - something to remember each other by after the event. You can contribute to the goodie bags if you wish, but only those who contribute will receive one. If you'd like to be a part of the fun then make sure you say "goodie bag contributor" in your RSVP before 24th September. We'll count up the number of participants and let you know numbers (it's usually between 20 and 30) before the event.
Thursday 29th September 2011
7 pm - 9pm
The back bar at the 3 Weeds Hotel, 197 Evans St Rozelle
(the link above has a map)
If you'd like to come, please RSVP right up until the day (or by 24th for goodie bags) on the abcd Facebook page, or if like me you don't do Facebook (!) you can RSVP in the comments of this post.

Loving :: Message in a Bottle
Stool Before & After
15 September 2011
I found this ugly dark timber stool with it's black pleather top by the side of the road and knew it had potential. With a coat of mint green paint and a quick and easy new cover for the seat I transformed it into something with personality. Then, after living with it for a month or so I decided that it would really look fabulous with a spash of orange paint added to the legs. It probably cost me less than $5 and I love it.
