Look what came in the mail!

Look how dry our grass is. It doesn't have a hope in this Australian weather.

It was a day to be pampered on such a hot 30 degree Melbourne day. Traveled into the city to use my birthday voucher at Endota Spa. Thoroughly recommend it, want to do it again!

When I came home awaiting in the mail box, was the current issue of Mixtape and Real Living Magazine. Mixtape is looking very sleek and funky designed in a new format. Congrats on the team.

Oh this issue of Real Living has an article on the famous Lark shop in Daylesford.

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

'Lark' ..... I'm here!

Allison and Beky

It's been a long time coming but I and my mum finally got to visit the 'Lark' shop in Daylesford, Victoria. It was the perfect day to do so.

We found the Lark near the MS shop. When I first saw the shop frontage it was a little weird. I have seen the front of the shop so many times on the Internet, seeing it in the flesh, so to speak, was quite weird but also very exciting.

Walking in, there was Allison the shop owner behind the desk. Hesitantly I said hi and introduced myself. Poor thing, she has these complete strangers who know her name and a little a bit about her because of Lark Blog. After formal introductions, it was time to shop!

I was thrilled out of my brain there was the Kamoi Paper washi adhesive tape from Japan that I have been hanging out for. My poor mum just didn't understand why I got so excited about Washi tape, but I'm sure a few of you out there would understand. :-) Also purchased the latest issue of 'Make Your Day World Sweet World'. My mother did her birthday and Christmas shopping at Lark, so she was VERY happy.

The shop is really beautiful, white, clean and fresh. The vibe is homey and I wish Allison and her team all the luck with her new venture. We will be visiting again for sure!!! Thanks Allison for the talk and being so helpful. Thanks also for being in the photo for my blog, I said, it's like meeting a celebrity blogger. :-)
