Materialistic at Reverse Garbage

What a delicious sunny afternoon!

Today has been full of surprises and treats so far, all of which I am going to share because I'm just that kind of person today.

First of all, my knee was free-ed from the prison of bandages and leg brace that it has been ensconsed in for the past two weeks post surgery. I tell you what, even though it's a bit of a weird feeling not having all that support around it anymore, it is SUPER nice to feel the sun again! {now to work on that summer tan...fake style of course!}

So in between that and then my physio appointment {not the most fun} Mum and I went down to the city to have a furkle around and landed ourselves in the L'Occitane shop. Let me just say if you havn't treated yourself it really is divine and smells SO good. They have two new moisturisers for spring, cherry blossom and orange blossom and a new peony fragrance - all amazing. I got myself a new lip gloss from the spring range and some awesome shea butter hand cream, love a good hand cream.

Then after physio {pain pain} mum and I quickly popped into Reverse Garbage where I found out that all the stock I took in a few weeks ago was being saved for the Materialistic exhibition that opens on Saturday night! Along with my old faithful zipper creations there are also newly created vintage button necklaces, leather earrings and vintage fabric gift cards. There is also a blog post about the show over on the BrisStyle blog where you can read more about it and see some of the other types of pieces that will be on display and for sale.

So if you're around on Saturday evening and find yourself without a plan, head down to 'Reverse Emporium', the new gallery space at Reverse Garbage to check out the show!

So the accident happened..

and then came the operation.

hello knee reconstruction, how are you today?

so folks, i'm in a giant leg brace and bandages for another week and a half and then it's ola knew knee!

In the mean time my sister is up from Sydney to 'care' for me (tomorrow is cheap tuesday so we're thinking of hitting the video store and getting pizza and other treats that would be regarded as reckless eating as way of 'caring' for me).

She who is the photography extraodinaire is going to help me photograph all my new bits and pieces to pump up my etsy shop again and reinvigorate my facebook page and I have a feeling this bloggin' thing is going to get a work out because I've already watched three serisouly BAD movies and become slightly addicted to Vampire Diaries AND nearly run out of books and magazines to read...i've only been out of hospital 6 days tomorrow...

So please, if you have any ideas, any at all that will keep me from gnawing my leg off in a fit of crazy brought on by boredom DO NOT hesitate to swing it my way.

Until next time chicas!

Had an accident...

Ok well the bike ride went all fine and dandy but then just over 2 weeks ago I decided to go and snap a major ligament in my knee playing hockey...hello knee reconstruction how are you today?

Yeah I know, sport = injuries, but not always! And now I have to sit around which is fine for a time but then TV starts to get boring and the reality of the reckless cookie eating and lack of ability to exercise kicks in...sad face.

This may mean that I will blog more, it might also mean that I become particularly slack on this side of things because I'm now about 3 weeks behind at uni and freaking out about it!

On the plus side we still managed to hit the Red Hill Fair with our wares and have loads of fun, many a steak sandwich, brownies and coffees and perhaps a wee bit too much sun. But with the lovely day and the stray baby goats and sheep wandering the park when we arrived to set up it was a pretty awesome day, despite the crutches and leg brace!

{photos are coming, of the fair, not the knee!}
