Oh the daily battles I face working in the city....of course i'm talking about retail temptations what else?
Every day i walk past the same lovely shops and everytime i sigh, but one place i enjoyably go in as often as possible is a shop i've spoken about before: Typo!
It's all so cheap and fun and my god i want everything, as i say to alot my customers, it's the price that sells it, if it's cheap, we reconsider it.
So i've stocked up on a few cute interior decorating pieces. I have seen lettering in houses all over the place, magazines mainly.But I can't really bring myself to have the whole 'eat', 'sleep', 'poo' (okay that was a fake one )writing blocks, mainly because i don't really like some plank of wood telling me what to do in my own house....
But....I can stand to have singular letters, because they aren't so bossy, so when i saw "3 for $10" i thought okay i can give in this time, at $5 each that means you get one free!
I love the little scrabble looking one, that's the one i really wanted, the '&' i've had an interest in this shape for awhile 'cos it's a cool design, and 't' doesn't stand for anything, it was just the only letter that was baby blue (which is my theme colour in the main living area) so i thought why not?
And this is where my little Q comes into play.
This is the cheapest wall decoration i've done in my house, the big one on the left was on sale for $15 at Typo-yes got a few stares on the train carrying that home!
The two face ones in the middle are my own creations so pretty much no money spent there, the blue is just floral wrapping paper.
So put it all together and this cost about 30 bucks- cheap aye?
I still have to put one more above the floral print, i saw these gorgeous framed origami cranes at a stall in the Fremantle markets (just waiting for my birthday to come round for that one!)
