My Stash From Daylesford

It's a bit late, but here is my stash from my shopping spree in Daylesford last Monday.


Firstly what I have been hanging out for, Japanese Washi Paper Tape. You can use it on anything that you want to decorate. Me I wanted it for my windmills and for future stationery projects. There are so many varieties, but I just went for the 20pk of multicolor tape. Lark is the first place I have found Washi Tape for sale, I'm a little surprised it's not everywhere in Melbourne. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places.

Next was the latest copy of World Sweet World. Basically New Zealand version of Australia's 'Mix Tape Magazine'. Some great articles, instructions and photos. Seriously thinking of subscribing to this one.

Lastly some paper from Vietnam, a great find and looks great on my windmills.

Japanese Washi Paper Tape - $39.95 from Lark
World Sweet World - $8.50 from Lark
Vietnam Paper - $2.50 per roll from Junk Shop

Saturday Stash of Paper Goodness

Well the weekend has been and gone, so it's time to show the Saturday stash of goodies I purchased at the Melbourne Paperific Craft Expos 2009

This was my first experience of visiting a Paperific Craft Expo, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Firstly it was much smaller than I expected, that's ok.

The majority of the stalls were for people who scrapbook, which I used to do, but now I have stopped. There were stamps, paper, equipment, containers, ribbons, and much more.

Bought some lovely Japanese paper, I'm amazed there wasn't more at other stalls. Some cool ribbon - skeletons, blossom and assortment of others for only 50cents for 2 meters! Bags, tape and card. Overall the day was fun, but I must chuckle there were a lot of very eager crafty women there and only saw two lonely men looking very lost. :-)
