Antiquing

So a few weeks back my sister and I were in Ahuriri, a cute little village not far from Napier. This area is one of my favourite places in Hawke's Bay; it's right by the beach, where all the little fishing boats are, has the best Mediterranean deli I've ever been to, has a mean chicken eatery and ice creamery, and has some other lovely wharfside restaurants (which double as nightclubs on the weekends). While I was growing up Dad used to take us to the wharf to go fishing so I have many fond memories of the area.

Anyhoooooo...there's this amazing antique shop that the sister and I always visit when we're over there, called Whale's Tale Antiques. My golly that shop is amazing, gets my imagination in a whirl every visit! It's incredibly crammed with stuff and wouldn't be good for clumsy people to visit (always so scared I'll break something!) but it's smell, all the amazing treasures it houses and just the feel of the place is magical. I love it. If you're ever in the area, make sure you check it out!!



So many treasures, and just imagine the stories behind them!!
Hope you're having a beaut day :)

Treasures at the Grandparents house

It has been a busy day for me today. Gym, uni work, class, buying a new shower curtain (exciting! haha), getting a new eftpos card, uni work.....etc.
My best friend rang me last night to let me know that she is heading down for a visit this weekend! Sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!! She only lives two hours drive away, but because we are both studying towards degrees, we are too busy to see each other during the semester. I'm uber pumped that she's coming to visit. It makes me even more excited for the weekend to roll around!! :)
Anyways.......during the summer holidays, I was living with my grandparents and found some gorgeous vintage treasures that they still have at their house. I photographed some of my favourite discoveries, so here they are:





Wtf?! Vegemite used to be in a tin?!

                                                    <3 vintage books



         How cute is this?! It reminds me of the Tin man's oil can in the Wizard of Oz


Hopefully I can put dibbs on these things and inherit them one day :) haha. The rest of the night for me is going to be spent doing my assignment which is due tomorrow. It's about the symbolic annihilation of women in the media. Interesting, yes. Tedious, also yes. 500 words to go............xx
