Shop Tour: O.W.L – Objects We Love

It was a gloomy, stormy Saturday morning in Browns Bay (Auckland, New Zealand) – not a day you would fancy a shopping trip to be honest.   More of a day to curl up under a thick, blanket and eat some white chocolate brownies with a hot cup of tea.

Nevertheless, I had a few jobs to do around the house and it required a trip to the shops to grab some bits & bobs for hanging some artwork on my wall. (I’ll put the link up to that soon)

I was about to hurry back to the car when I noticed “O.W.L” and thought to myself ‘Why haven’t I ever been inside here?’ (Answer: My small children basically don’t let me look at anything and usually ends in me not enjoying the experience #realtalk)  So being childless that morning, I was free to explore.

Local Shop Tour: My Eclectic Zone (MEZ)

Victoria Park Market has had a bit of a revamp recently (a $20,000,000 revamp to be precise.)

But here’s another bloody good reason to visit:  My Eclectic Zone, also known as MEZ.  If you want some unique pieces for your home, this is where you need to come.

RECAP: The Gorgeous Interiors in Rosieteapot Issues 1,2 & 3

I am so grateful to these women for letting us into their home.  I thought it would be quite cool to go over the homes for the last three issues of Rosieteapot as a reminder to my current readers to bookmark these women & to serve as a taster to future readers!

Charley Taylor of The Charley girl was the first interior featured in the magazine, the first person interviewed AND the first cover.  I love her eclectic taste and how she arranges her special & quirky treasures.

Here is a taste of a few of the images featured in Issue 1 of Rosieteapot Magazine: Read more

This issue is full of gorgeous homes & interesting women!  We take a home tour of Dana’s house from House*Tweaking, Aileen’s lovely home from “At Home In Love” and Jenna’s super cute, retro apartment from “Circus of Cakes“.  And get ready for a Color-Bomb – it’s Flannery from “The Fashion Tweaker“!  If you love vintage shenanigans, you’ll love the gals at Two Lippy Ladies and we check out the sweeter side of life with Kelly from A Side of Sweet .  Our Artist, Lindsey Louise of Hello Mr Rabbit, brings a whole lot of whimsy to the table, and we check out what Nepal is like with my friend, Sarah Natac.  Oh, and a few of my recipes as per usual.  This issue is jam-packed full of goodies!

Now, I just learned that I used a few photos of Lindsey from Kait Dowling Photography – I love her Cosplay photos in particular!   Very cool.
