OK – I’ve been inspired to follow Lara’s lead and show off a bit of expert eBaying
myself. I’ve become slightly obsessed with all the vintage quilts on the American
eBay site, and have been bidding on them for ages, only to be pipped at the post
by evil people who use those gazumping programmes that come in at the last second
and up the bid. (You wouldn’t believe how cutthroat America quilt buyers are –
friggin ruthless.) So, I was extra excited when, after 10 months of browsing and
bidding and getting frustrated, all my online quilt lust paid off with this lovely
antique quilt top. I know it’s sad, but I really feel like patting myself on the back.
I love stumbling across random coolness on the interweb, and I think my personal prize for radness this month has to go to PhotoShowerCurtain.com. It’s a site that does exactly what it says on the box: send them your digital images and they will make a personalised shower curtain showing off your pretty pictures. Plus they are happy to ship to Australia. Just think of the possibilities: favourite landscapes, arty shots, that picture of your boyfriend posed to look like he’s picking the Statue of Liberty’s nose ... Definitely one of those ‘why didn’t anyone think of this first?’ type ideas. |

Creating Australian eco-warrior, design-savvy products, it’s no wonder awards have been sparkling B_E_E’s way. Quirky? Tick. Eco-friendly? Tick. Hot packaging? Tick. Yay – all the dirty work has been done for us. |
Here’s something to love without irony. Save the Pink Bathrooms does exactly what it says on the label, agitating for the preservation of vintage pink bathrooms everywhere. There’s even a tip sheet on renovation and colour matching. Drool, drool. |
